Comments on KDE UIC detection error

  1. KDE UIC detection error, change admin/acinclude.m4.in in automake based projects ...

    Hi Peter,

    thanks for you solution, it certainly helped me work around the same problem on an out-of-the-box openSuSE 10.0 system. One thing I'd like to add is that one should rather modify this line in "admin/acinclude.m4.in" if they are using automake based projects (e.g. KDevelop) because the confugure script gets eventually recreated based on this file.

    Cheers,
    Timo.

  2. no this doesn't work

    The check in configure is correct. It is looking for the line

    #include <klineedit.h>

    Thus the check for lower case klineedit. The configuration is not correct if it doesn't find this line. The use of the class KLineEdit is not what it is checking for.

  3. Doesn't work RIGHT

    Yes, you're absolutely right. The check is definitely correct. As I recall, there was even a comment in the configure script that *said* the check was definitely correct. The above "solution" simply serves to bypass the check. Perhaps there was an easier way, but apparently it wasn't obvious at the time.

    The real problem (aside from the broken KDE installation) was that the error was spurious. In my case, the packages affected didn't appear to need UIC plugins in the first place. At least, they seemed to work flawlessly without them. So while the check was correct, it's not clear that it should have been performed in the first place.
