Gentoo KDE compilation woes with GCC-4.1.1

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

So I’ve been having this problem since I upgraded GCC. I moved up to 4.1 and everything has been peachy until I attempted to upgrade KDE to 3.5.5. It starts to emerge but when it gets to kdebase it craps out with the following error.

.libs/addresseehelper.o: In function `std::_Rb_tree<QString, QString, std::_Identity<QString>, std::less<QString>, std::allocator<QString> >::_M_insert(std::_Rb_tree_node_base*, std::_Rb_tree_node_base*, QString const&)’:
and on
and on
and on

After attempting deep compiles and recompiles of other random stuff and searching the web I finally found someone in this post that said this is a common KDE/GCC problem where something I’m linking against is compiled with the older version of GCC. The problem is that their solution was to emerge -e world with my new GCC which would take approximately 953 years and all kinds of stuff that I have masked one way or another with ~x86 would just get hashed. I tend to run fast and loose with that keyword and so it’s no ones fault but my own. I also didn’t do the gentoo recommended method for upgrading GCC because I tried that right after I installed and everything went to crap and I had to reinstall. I know I’m not the only gentoo user to run my box like this though. Anyway, after revdep-rebuild on libstdc++ in hopes that that would fix it (it didn’t) someone suggested the following fix which worked brilliantly so I’m putting it here for all to enjoy.

I looked in the /usr/portage/kde-base/kdelibs/kdelibs-3.5.5-r7.ebuild file and found the RDEPEND and DEPEND sections

RDEPEND="$(qt_min_version 3.3.3)
arts? ( ~kde-base/arts- )

DEPEND="
doc? ( app-doc/doxygen )
sys-devel/gettext"

RDEPEND="
|| ( ( x11-apps/rgb x11-apps/iceauth ) <virtual/x11-7 ) &quot

I yanked out all the packages that weren’t pertinant to my use flags and came up with the following emerge line.

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=”~x86″ emerge -av arts bzip2 freetype fontconfig libxslt libxml2 libpcre libart_lgpl libidn openssl alsa-li cups tiff jasper gettext

All of these showed up as a yellow R “recompile” status. Once I did this and retried my kde emerge

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=”~x86″ emerge -av

It worked! Hopefuly this helps someone else out as well. If anyone who reads this knows of a better way to solve this little problem, please drop me a note
