Hi,
it does not neccesarely mean that it don´t compile, but there are problems afterwards. Franz Sirl also builded KDE2, but (again) as far as I know, he did not release them untill now.
Hmm, problems afterwards? The problem must be pretty obscure since I have been using what I built on a day to day basis with no real problems that have impacted me.
Perhaps we should ask Franz directly here?
Franz,
Can we compile and run KDE 2.0 src tarballs using your latest tool chain (latest gcc from your site, latest binutils from H.J. Lu, and latest glibc 2.1.3 from your site) and if not, what if anything needs fixing / updating?
I tried it on a plain 6.4-ppc and konqueror does not work at all, even ksplash does not work. We had to use the newer gcc from Franz to compile kde2 at all. There is proably a binary incompatibilty or such. For short: kde2 works but you have no konqueror, no kword, no ksplash, no kspread, no killustrator ... ok. I gave up to try more stuff. But hey, konsole works fine :=) Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
