Thanx Arno,

I have all three of: kdelibs, kdepimlibs and kdebase.  I've been trying 
to keep them in sync with frequent svn udpates followed by builds.

All three are pulling from the same set of repositories.  (the list for 
which I put in my first message).

So I'll try updating and rebuilding kdelibs and after that return to 
kdebase.  And see what happens.

Hi,

I'm building KDE for the first time. KDE4 from the trunk. Had this
problem last night (GMT-8).

Got up this morning; did an svn update and got a number of new files.
Then cmakekde to generate new build files. And rebuild. The problem
     
      
When you build kdebase from svn, you'll also have to build kdelibs from SVN.
it appears as if you're building trunk kdebase against an old version of
kdelibs.

I rebuilt KDE from scratch and ran into the same problem again:

I wiped the svn repositories clean and I do know to build kdelibs before kdebase or kdepimlibs.  This is the svn repository I use for all three:

svn checkout -N svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk

I've looked at and studied a whole bunch of things.  Gcc -E on activity.cpp shows me that the symbols lastScreen and lastDekstop don't get declared anywhere within activity.cpp's header files until the point at which activity.cpp tries to use them - and blows up.  On the other hand, kdelibs/plasma/view.cpp (and other files) have the two symbols and compile without problem.

I would note from here:

http://lxr.kde.org/ident?i=lastScreen

that activity.cpp is the only file under kdebase that accesses these symbols - as opposed to kdelibs.  I would imagine that my inability to build activity.cpp is related to this difference.

Starting again from scratch is a long procedure for me.  This step:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/STABLE:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.2/KDE4-BASIS.ymp

from here:

http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/KDE4

upgrades the installation to KDE 4.4.7 (with many applications such as Dolphin not working - however I figured out how to fix what I need).  So rebuilding from scratch means, for me, wiping out the entire virtual machine installation (openSUSE 11.2).  Then reinstalling the operating system and a number of other packages before I even arrive at rebuilding my local KDE repository and restart the KDE build.  There may be some better way of doing things but I haven't figured it out yet.

So if someone has some other idea of what I might be doing wrong, I'd be very happy to hear it.

thanx - pat
