Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc 3.2.1 OS: Linux I tried to compile kdemultimedia-3.2 and it failed with some error messages that mentioned FLAC (haven't got the output here anymore, sorry), so I updated flac (from 1.0.4 to 1.1), tried to compile again and this time it worked. Obviously kdemultimedia uses FLAC (for a kfile-plugin), but that (optional?) dependency is neither mentioned in "./configure --help" nor on the KDE website with the dependencies of KDE 3.2. Furthermore, it seems to need the 1.1 version of FLAC, but the configure script only seems to check whether FLAC is installed or not, but not whether it is recent enough.
Looks like this has been fixed with recent commits: http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/kdemultimedia/kfile-plugins/flac/configure.in.in.diff?r1=1.2&r2=1.3&f=h
though it's not been committed in the 3.2 branch...
CVS commit by carewolf: Backport improved configure check for libFLAC CCMAIL:74403-done@bugs.kde.org M +3 -1 configure.in.in 1.1.2.1 M +141 -5 kfile_flac.cpp 1.2
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2/../../../libFLAC.so: undefined reference to `log'
During 'configure', the test introduced with the last commit always fails with: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2/../../../libFLAC.so: undefined reference to `log' shouldn't it be AC_CHECK_LIB(FLAC,FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_process_single, kde_has_flac_lib=yes, ,-lm) (but I'm not an autoconf guru)
Sounds like a library problem on your machine. Try "ldd libFLAC.so", it should have a reference to a libm.so library, and it _should_ find this library automatically.
nope, even after a clean './configure; make' in my home dir I have flac-1.1.0 $ ldd src/libFLAC/.libs/libFLAC.so.4.1.2 linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4004b000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000) Afetr a bit of investigation: with this patch in flac CVS http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/flac/flac/src/libFLAC/Makefile.am?r1=1.45&r2=1.46 (which e.g. Debian applies) finally I have: flac-1.1.0 $ ldd src/libFLAC/.libs/libFLAC.so.4.1.2 linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4004b000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4006c000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000) To summarize: The configure check in kdemultimedia will be the right one starting from the next release of flac.
