Description Nigel Roberts 2005-10-09 13:23:10 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.90)
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux
Compiler:          gcc version 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.1-4ubuntu9) 
OS:                Linux

When compiling kopete, configure doesn't check for X Window System video extension library development files (Xvlib.h etc.) so make fails when trying to compile the parts of kopete that reference these headers. It was easy enough to install the files after finding which package they are in (libxv-dev for ubuntu/debian).

where does make fail and what flags did you pass to configure?
Comment 2 Olivier Goffart 2006-03-10 23:09:35 UTC 
compile error should probably be sent to the mailinglist and not on bugzilla
Comment 3 Matt Rogers 2006-03-11 03:36:08 UTC 
this is not invalid. we're missing a required check in the build system. With modular X becoming more common, it's important that we fix this.
Comment 4 Nigel Roberts 2006-03-12 06:58:36 UTC 
I'm afraid I no longer have a suitable machine to try this on. I don't remember passing any special configure options at the time. This should be dead simple to reproduce by attempting to compile kopete on a debian based system with out the libxv-dev package. Sorry I can't help any further.
Comment 5 Olivier Goffart 2006-05-13 11:43:55 UTC 
anyway, we now use cmake in kde4
