Should I uninstall my orioginal Kopete before doing the make install?

Nope, no need - the old binary will be overwritten by the new one.

oh, and just on a sidenote I having trouble typing the quotes - for some reason I have to type them twice and then the command doesn work

Ahhh... i had this problem once upon a time. It took me months to realise why. It is because you have your keyboard configured as `International Keyboard'. Change it to a US keyboard, then you wont have that problem.

Hi

Thanks for that info Seb much better now.

However, I still need to update Qt - and I have no idea what to do. There is no Mandrake package for 3.3

As a workaround, you can edit the configure file and change the following:
[code:1]if test -z ""; then
# Current default Qt version: 3.3
kde_qtver=3
kde_qtsubver=3
else[/code:1]
to
[code:1]if test -z ""; then
# Current default Qt version: 3.3
kde_qtver=3
kde_qtsubver=2
else[/code:1]
<Notice the qtsubver is different>
It is usually NOT a good thing to change generated files, but this will work until Mandrake releases a patched version.

Another approach would be to check out version 3.2 of the kde-common and kdenetwork projects:
[code:1]
&#91;jelliebellie@localhost kopete&#93;$ cvs co -r KDE_3_2_BRANCH kde-common
&#91;jelliebellie@localhost kopete&#93;$ cvs co -l -r KDE_3_2_BRANCH kdenetwork
[/code:1]
but I haven't tested this.

Okay, I am going to try and guide you through the process of updating kopete.
Bear with the process, for a newcomer it can be quite intimidating. Once you get to know the process, it will become second nature to you. Realise that downloading a source from CVS is much more complicated than installing a general stable source.

Firstly, open up a terminal window. follow everything that I do.

[code:1]
&#91;seb@localhost seb&#93;$ cd tmp/
&#91;seb@localhost tmp&#93;$ mkdir kopete
&#91;seb@localhost tmp&#93;$ cd kopete
&#91;seb@localhost kopete&#93;$ export CVSROOT=&#58;pserver&#58;anonymous@anoncvs.kde.org&#58;/home/kde
&#91;seb@localhost kopete&#93;$ cvs login
Logging in to &#58;pserver&#58;anonymous@anoncvs.kde.org&#58;2401/home/kde
CVS password&#58; <PRESS ENTER &#40;no pass&#41;>
&#91;seb@localhost kopete&#93;$ cvs co kde-common
&#91;seb@localhost kopete&#93;$ cvs co -l kdenetwork
&#91;seb@localhost kopete&#93;$ cvs co kdenetwork/kopete
&#91;seb@localhost kopete&#93;$ cd kdenetwork
&#91;seb@localhost kdenetwork&#93;$ ln -s ../kde-common/admin
&#91;seb@localhost kdenetwork&#93;$ make -f Makefile.cvs
&#91;seb@localhost kdenetwork&#93;$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
&#91;seb@localhost kdenetwork&#93;$ cd kopete
&#91;seb@localhost kopete&#93;$ make
&#91;seb@localhost kopete&#93;$ su -c "make install"
Password&#58;
&#91;seb@localhost kopete&#93;$
[/code:1]

That should sort you out . Please bear in mind that I didn't actually go through the process, I am just outlining for you. There may be a couple of typo's in there. If there are any errors which you encounter, most likely missing dependencies, fix them up, then redo the last command which you typed in. Failing this, ask us!

Hope this helps,
Seb

Sorry guys I've almost done everything but when I get to the point "$ make -f Makefile.cvs" I have an erro and this message:

[leo@localhost kdenetwork]$ make -f Makefile.cvs
This Makefile is only for the CVS repository
This will be deleted before making the distribution

./admin/cvs.sh: line 1: autoconf: command not found
*** AUTOCONF NOT FOUND!.

[leo@localhost kdenetwork]$

? What do I need?
:roll:

I think you need "autoconf". Install it from your distribution-CD!

That is exactly how you do it.

I notice that you are using Mandrake 10.0. The easiest way to install the package is as follows:

Place your mandrake cd(1)/dvd in the tray, and as root, run rpmdrake, do a search for autoconf. As you may have already guessed, install the package which is autoconf-2.53, or something higher if you have it. If you ever have any problems where dependencies are lacking, the first thing you should do to try and fix it is to install the package which is listed from your distribution cd.

Marconiko, thanks for the compliments, and remember, that i too, was once a newbie - infact i still am in many aspects of linux. My advice, stick with the forums for help and you will get through it quickly

Hi guys!

My OS is FreeBSD #5.1, KDE 3.2.2 , Kopete 0.8.2 (into KDE 3.2.2)

I have the same problem with Yahoo login/pw as you do.

I desided to reinstall Kopete from CVS and do all steps from this link http://kopete.kde.org/index.php?page=cvs...

Everything was fine up to this command:
[code:1]make -f Makefile.cvs[/code:1]

When I typed it at first I got the following error:

But this is not helped me...

Help me to resolve this problem, pls.

Dannng :shock:
I was almost there!!! I've got until this point "make -f Makefile.cvs" or this one "./configure --prefix=/usr " but there was a message saying there was an error 'cause the C Compiler wasn't found in the @PATH.
I've checked in my pc but there isn't something here inside.

You shouldn't have to symlink autoconf17, just install the package and it should work properly.

Hi again!

I'm continue to install Kopete from CVS... and have new problem.

Thanks seb. Your comments really helped me to continue my installation process but not to the happy end

I am having the same trouble that Mango had with the QT error. The error I get is

[code:1]checking for Qt... configure&#58; error&#58; Qt &#40;>= Qt 3.3&#41; &#40;library qt-mt&#41; not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support![/code:1]

I have tried jelliebellie suggestion of editing the config file manually

[code:1]if test -z ""; then
# Current default Qt version&#58; 3.3
kde_qtver=3
kde_qtsubver=3
else[/code:1]

changed qtsubver to 2

[code:1]if test -z ""; then
# Current default Qt version&#58; 3.3
kde_qtver=3
kde_qtsubver=2
else[/code:1]

but I am getting the same error message as before. Any other suggestions or is there a newer version of QT that can be installed on Mandrake 10???

Thanks,

Hi all!!!

Thanks for help!!!

I've just resolved my problem and finished to install Kopete from CVS.

I used gmake instead of make... That's all

You can find a set of binary packages for mandrake off some of the following mirrors listed here:

http://download.kde.org/download.php?url=stable/3.2.3/

Yes, they are rpms for kde3.2.3, although they *do* have packages for newer versions of qt. I cannot promise you that they will work, or even do something worse.

Hehe... for example, i tried to use the rpms to update kde to 3.2.3, and now i had to completely rebuild.

Use the rpms with caution.

I just tried my other suggestion (a cleaner solution) on another MDK10 machine and it works. Try following Seb's instructions but use the following lines for the checkout commands:

Dammit. I've tried this way and here's what I've got:

checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!

I needed sometime to find the cd 4 because it asked me some packets. Now I have eveything but still not updated Kopete.
Phewww
:?

Not to be dumb, but I am VERY new...

jelliebellie said "I just tried my other suggestion (a cleaner solution) on another MDK10 machine and it works. Try following Seb's instructions but use the following lines for the checkout commands"

What are check out commands??? Where do I use them at?

I would like to install the new CVS version as I hear that it works just fine with no troubles at all. Is that what this is??? the CVS version?

Hello:

I am trying to build the Kopete from CVS but like other newbies here, I am having a hard time...

Background check - I am running a Debian Sid with KDE 3.2.3 and cpp3.3. However, once I get to execute
./configure.....
I get the following error:
configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
Well, I am stuck. I do have the latest cpp installed. All other kde applications work fine, so I have no reason to believe the cpp is damaged or corrupt.

Please advise me if you are soon to launch an update easy enough for desktop users to apply? If not, please help me solve this one. My girlfriend is going to kill me - I installed Debian over her beloved WinXP some months ago and she's been complaining since.

Brilliant - thanks, I think to, jelliebellie for the suggestion to check common and network on a branch. That worked nicely - compiled no problems with default configure on Mandrake 10.
Only issue I had then was that it didn't find the plugins - helpful page at http://kopete.kde.org/index.php?page=installtips solved that, editing the /etc/kderc.

Just get more and more impressed with kde

Cheers,

Nick
