Description Moinak Ghosh 2008-01-25 07:39:11 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          Gcc 3.4.3 
OS:                Solaris

Kdelibs toplevel makefile assumes that GNU rm is present and uses the "-v" option that is unsupported on OpenSolaris. I do not personally see a reason to use the "-v" option. Suggested patch attached.

Hmm OK I'll commit this (to admin/Doxyfile.am which seems to be the source of the generated code you patched) but it's only used for the generation of the api documentation; surely you don't need to run this in order to compile kdelibs?

Yes that is not necessary to build kdelibs. However I was preparing a spec file to generate packages including an api docs package optionally.
