kdelibs3-3.5.10-4 doesn't build with zlib 1.2.4

kdelibs3-3.5.10-4 make failed!

I don't see a lot of info to go on here. Can you please clean the port and try again with the debug switch?

sudo port clean kdelibs3
sudo port -d install kdelibs3 2>&1 | tee ~/Desktop/kdelibs3.txt
bzip2 ~/Desktop/kdelibs3.txt

Then attach kdelibs3.txt.bz2 from your desktop to this ticket.

I had the same problem and by trial and error found the following workaround by systematically replacing certain ports by older versions as explained in InstallingOlderPort
One main culprit seems to be the new version of zlib, but also libxml2
Here is the list of ports I replaced by the older versions:

libxml2 @2.7.6_0
xorg-libXt @1.0.7_1
zlib @1.2.3_4
kdelibs3 @3.5.10_3
jpeg @7_0
jasper @1.900.1_6
tiff @3.9.2_2+macosx
qt3 @3.3.8_8+darwin_10

My guess is that the latter four files might also work in the most recent versions. But I do not want to waste more time in checking.

The debug log says:

In file included from /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_kde_kdelibs3/work/kdelibs-3.5.10/kio/kio/kzip.cpp:53:
/opt/local/include/zlib.h:1561: error: 'off64_t' does not name a type
/opt/local/include/zlib.h:1562: error: 'off64_t' does not name a type
/opt/local/include/zlib.h:1563: error: 'off64_t' does not name a type

/opt/local/include/zlib.h:1565: error: 'off64_t' has not been declared
Error creating ./kio/kio/kzip.lo. Exit status 1.

So this is another port suffering from zlib 1.2.4 syndrome.

This is an ancient and duplicate bug, still being shown as "new". Herewith marked as fixed, since irrelevant.
