Description Alexander Skwar 2006-07-26 09:06:59 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

I'm trying to compile kopete on Gentoo Linux, but this failed with the following message:

 * To support Video4Linux webcams in this package is required to have
 * =x11-libs/qt-3* compiled with OpenGL support.
 * Please reemerge =x11-libs/qt-3* with USE="opengl".

!!! ERROR: kde-base/kopete-3.5.3-r2 failed.

Qt3 is installed with the following USE flags:

[ebuild   R   ] x11-libs/qt-3.3.6-r1  USE="cups -debug -doc -examples -firebird
gif -immqt -immqt-bc -ipv6 -mysql -nas nis -odbc -opengl -postgres -sqlite
-xinerama" 0 kB

This means, that Qt3 is compiled WITHOUT OpenGL support.

I'll never attach a V4L webcam to the system and I'll never be able to use OpenGL, as I'll always connect to the system using OpenGL. Thus, I don't need V4L support and OpenGL support in Qt3 is also not needed on my system.

It would be great, if the Video4Linux support in kopete were optional.

I also reported this to Gentoo, but they told me to report this here.

That's what I did ;)

Won't happen in the KDE 3 timeframe, but we'll do it for KDE 4.

Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained.

Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
