Hi, When I compile kdesdk it consistently fails. The output is below, my system spec is: * gcc 3.2.2 * automake 1.7.3 * make 3.80 (Slackware 9.0) Shouldn't I be able to compile with this setup? Cheers, Frans if /bin/sh ../../../libtool --silent --mode=compile --tag=CXX g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../.. -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -Wchar-subscripts -fno-builtin -g3 -fno-inline -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -MT pofiles.lo -MD -MP -MF ".deps/pofiles.Tpo" \ -c -o pofiles.lo `test -f 'pofiles.cc' || echo './'`pofiles.cc; \ then mv ".deps/pofiles.Tpo" ".deps/pofiles.Plo"; \ else rm -f ".deps/pofiles.Tpo"; exit 1; \ fi In file included from /usr/include/c++/3.2.2/backward/iostream.h:31, from /usr/include/FlexLexer.h:47, from pofiles.cc:241: /usr/include/c++/3.2.2/backward/backward_warning.h:32:2: warning: #warning This file includes at least one deprecated or antiquated header.
