Description Steve Evans 2007-05-16 17:06:44 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.4.6 
OS:                Solaris

I get this error from cmake on solaris

CMake Error: This project requires some variables to be set,
and cmake can not find them.
Please set the following variables:
X11_Xinerama_INCLUDE_PATH (ADVANCED)
X11_Xinerama_LIB (ADVANCED)

It happens because kdebase/workspace/kcontrol/xinerama/CMakeLists.txt does not check for the existence of Xinerama, which doesn't exist on Solaris. I added a check which fixed the problem, see the supplied patch.

Don't build the Xinerama kcontrol panel on systems without Xinerama

This bug is not Solaris specific, my Linux system don't have Xinerama, and then
kdebase won't compile.

This small patch will fix the issue, as you don't need a kcontrol panel to
control Xinerama if you don't have Xinerama...

Has this bug been fixed on more recent KDE version like 3.5.10 or 4.x ?

Someone with Solaris/Opensolaris should check this bug. Thanks!

Checked that Jon's patch was applied in trunkq.
