Version: Subversion (using KDE 4.4.4) OS: Linux Apparently KDESupport and others need specific settings to be set when a branch is selected. Also appears that config for TRUNK needs tweaking because it doesn't work out of the box. We could have a file called kdesrc-build_hint included, added to each older branch too, that includes version specific fixes to the script to allow it to build. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Try kdesrc-build, get stuck on qt-copy, phonon, kdelibs read error messages, try -v, error messages offer no more details set to a branch and use system-qt get further search internet for hours find somebody on IRC that gives a fix regarding a tag setting that wasn't anywhere else on the net, and formatted differently than in the instructions get something that sort of works, but .xsession fixing instructions are out of date Actual Results: Tried using kdesrc-build as different users, with different settings. There could also be "hints" for distros, or other conditions.
I realize that it's kind of hard to document things after the fact (especially after aggravating debugging sessions) but this is very vague. * What tag settings were missing or not documented? * What error messages were listed when kdesupport, kdelibs, or qt-copy didn't compile? * What distro-specific problems did you have? * What .xsession instructions are you referring to? (e.g. a URL would suffice) I'm perfectly willing to document things (probably in the kdesrc-buildrc-sample instead of a separate one) but I need to know what's wrong.

Please forgive me as I am in a state of confusion. I believe that what I am asking for is more sample rc files, one that builds each version of the branch... with options already ready to go. Basically collect buildrc files from people who have it working, and name them buildrc_kubuntu10.04_trunk, etc. kdesrc-build is bigger than I thought it was, and there are so many possible targets.. Here are some documentation issues with tag: module-base-path tags/kdesupport-for-4.5 is syntax that works, that somebody gave me on IRC, but in the buildrc-sample it reads: tag kdesupport-for-4.4/kdesupport so I uncommented it, and substituted 4.5 for 4.4 and it did not work at all. With syntax from IRC, it fails to install. The .xsession instructions I attempted to follow are at: http://kdesrc-build.kde.org/documentation/environment.html I will have to try again Basically, Once I get it set up and working, I will share my kdebuildrc, and am basically begging for somebody elses working copy, and think that it would be really awesome if they were also included with kdesrcbuild.
oh, of note, for the user where i am trying to install trunk, i did not have a kdesrc-buildrc I assumed that default would be ok. I then created one, and turned on phonon in qt- and commented out the other phonon module and it appears to be doing more than before. This was hinted about in the kdesrc-buildrc documentation, A colorization of the note that I did not have config file set up might help idiots like me notice it better. line 2823 Also, Do default values==sample buildrc file? if not, perhaps having a default-kdesrc-buildrc file that gets used instead of hard coded values could help people adapt their buildrc.
