kmymoney: error: field has incomplete type 'MyMoneyTransaction'

[dmollaaliod@…]

I just upgraded ports and did "sudo port selfupdate" and "sudo port upgrade outdated". However kmymoney failed to upgrade. I uninstalled it and tried to instal without success. The first error I noticed in the logfile is a compilation error (complete logfile attached):

:info:build /opt/local/lib/qt3/include/qpair.h:66:8: error: field has incomplete type 'MyMoneyTransaction'
:info:build     T1 first;
:info:build        ^
:info:build ./viewinterface.moc:166:31: note: in instantiation of template class 'QPair<MyMoneyTransaction, MyMoneySplit>' requested here

I am sorry to see that kmymoney doesn't build on ML anymore.

Since kmymoney 1.0.5 is not supported anymore I would suggest upgrading to kmymoney4(-devel) in your case!

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

I just realized that you, of course, used clang to build it.

I wonder what would happen if you would blacklist clang... (Unfortunately I do not have a ML to test this on.)

Are you familiar with setting up your own portfiles and subsequent port building?

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

This is what I got so far:

Try if including "mymoneytransaction.h" and "mymoneysplit.h" in "viewinterface.h" makes a difference. After all, it complains about forward declarations which means these objects are not really known but the definition is needed.

I tried to install kmynoney4 instead. It took several hours to install and I didn't see any errors in the installation. However when I tried to run it I got an error from drkonqi (I don't know what that program does): "drkonqi quit unexpectedly".

I got the same error when I tried to run kmymoney4-devel (after uninstalling kmymoney4 and installing kmymoney4-devel).

You need to make sure that dbus is properly launched. (During installation of dbus a few comments were spat out which tell you how to start dbus via 2 launchctl calls.)

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

You can discover what they are again by incanting the following.

port notes dbus

[dmollaaliod@…]

Now it works, thanks! To sum up, I installed kmymoney4, then typed the commands to start dbus.

OK, but the original problem: the fix for kmymoney 1.0.5 is still to be tested!

[dmollaaliod@…]

When I installed kmymoney4 I had to uninstall qt3 and wait for nearly one day to build qt4 and kmymoney4. If I'm going to test whether kmymoney installs, won't I need to uninstall qt4 and kmymoney4? Looks to me it's best to stick to kmymoney4.

You can deactivate a port which keeps the built packages but removes the installed files from the system.

man port
sudo port deactivate kmymoney4 qt4-mac
sudo port activate qt4-mac kmymoney4

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Hmm, I think it is not sufficient to deactivate just the two ports. There might be many more dependencies to take into account.

I guess if you are happy with the new KMM version, stick with it for now, since I know it takes ages to build all its dependencies. (Perhaps one can find someone with a faster machine and nerves to test this.)

The ticket should stay open until then.

PS: kmymoney4(-devel) still has some minor glitches. If you stumble over them, please file tickets accordingly. You could install kmymoney4-devel to stay at the tip of development.

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Just tried to address this issue on ML by r100274.

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Adding missing dep for pkgconfig in r100275 solved this issue. (Actually this was failing to build on all three buildbots!)
