By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Darrell 2012-07-29 14:22:54 CDT

I am unable to build tdebase in the upcoming Slackware 14, which does not include HAL.

In my build script I have:

WITH_HAL=OFF
WITH_TDEHWLIB=ON

The build fails with the following:

/dev/shm/tdebase/tdm/backend/consolekit.c:31:23: fatal error: dbus/dbus.h: No such file or directory

dbus.h is installed in /usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus.h, which has not changed from previous Slackware releases.

Build log and CMakeCache.txt

The build log includes a copy of CMakeCache.txt.

This failure occurs in 64-bit. I have not yet tried 32-bit.

Comment 2 Darrell 2012-07-30 00:03:13 CDT

Same failure with 32-bit.

Comment 3 Darrell 2012-07-31 11:26:04 CDT

This is not a Slackware 14 problem as the error occurs with 13.1 as well.

Possible patch to build without HAL

Turns out this failure is more fundamental. After comparing builds with WITH_HAL=ON and WITH_HAL=OFF, I noticed the latter build never looked for dbus-tqt and always failed.

I found success with the following temporary patch (also attached):

=================================================

I considered changing if( WITH_HAL ) to if( WITH_HAL OR WITH_TDEHWLIB ), but I don't know whether WITH_TDEHWLIB is dependent upon dbus-tqt. I don't know whether dbus-tqt is required for all builds, regardless of HAL.

I really don't know what is the best all-around long-term solution for all distros.

Patch pushed to GIT in commit f34a07c4.

Resolved.
