It does seem pretty ancient - it refers to KDE2 ... and the source RPM is from Mar2001. I tried building it from source, but the configure doesn't even complete. (probably something simple, but I didn't investigate)

Well, how about starting with khrono. SUSE last included it with 9.2, though it still worked with 9.3. Now with 10, it no longer works.

Did you build it from source for 9.3 and 10? Or how did you install it? /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution. Let us analyse your spam- and virus-threat - up to 2 months for free.

I think the problem is - as you mentioned - khrono has apparently been abandoned. Something or other in the more recent KDE versions stops it from building and someone knowledgeable in e.g. KDE development will need to look at it (if the author doesn't). /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution.

OK, I had a bit of a closer look. I updated some of the autoconf and libtool stuff with up-to-date copies from kdebase-3.5, and I can make khrono configure and almost build. I can't make it link though ... I'm getting tons of messages like:

khronodisplay.cpp:(.text+0x1e): undefined reference to `vtable for KhronoDisplay' khronodisplay.cpp:(.text+0x25): undefined reference to `vtable for KhronoDisplay' khronodisplay.o: In function `KhronoDisplay::KhronoDisplay(QWidget*, char const*)': khronodisplay.cpp:(.text+0x27e): undefined reference to `vtable for KhronoDisplay' khronodisplay.cpp:(.text+0x285): undefined reference to `vtable for KhronoDisplay'

I did some googling but didn't really find anything useful. Update to follow.

I tried using gcc-3.4.4 instead of 4.0.2, but no change. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution. Let us analyse your spam- and virus-threat - up to 2 months for free.
