F**. I had hoped I could compile up khexedit with the latest version to ensure everything worked before I committed it this evening.. BUT: In order to get kdebase working it seem I need kdesupport working first (some odbc). Well, in kdesupport configure gives: checking whether the C++ compiler (g++ -D_GNU_SOURCE -O2) has correct exception handling... yes checking whether the C++ compiler (g++ -D_GNU_SOURCE -O2) supports namespaces... no configure: error: g++ does not support namespaces I this really necessary? It is getting more and more difficult to get anything working here. Until I met the odbc wall in kdebase I had to manually install the following headers from kdeui into /include : klineeditdlg.h kurlcompletion.h kcursor.h kwizard.h kpixmapeffect.h kcontrol.h kthemebase.h kcolordrag.h kdbtn.h qxembed.h kkeydialog.h WHAT do I have to remove from kdebase makefiles to avoid kdesupport dependency?
