Problem building KDE-3.5: KDEGames
8 answers - 358 bytes -
I have finally managed to get a basic install of the 3.5 branch despite
problems with SVN. All the common packages built except KDEGames. I
consistently get the error in the attached.
I have tried various things that usually fix build problems with no luck
so I am starting to think that there is an error in the code.
Any suggestions?

So, I have tried other measures. I did:

unsermake distclean

and started the build all over. It still didn't work.

So, I deleted the whole KDEGames module and checked it out again.

That worked. So, it would appear that somehow SVN screwed up my code
tree for that module.

Thats because distclean is essentially unmaintained and almost never works.

You should have used svn-clean.

, to make even more sure:
svn-clean -f; svn revert -R .

You'll get your checkout as clean as if you had just checked it out. I'm
working on integrating with svn-clean, so expect svn-clean -rf soon.

Do you think that in that case it should be removed?

Interesting. I presume the KDE version.

To me, it is a bug in SVN that you can't simply check out a module again
to fix it like you can with CVS.

AFAIK, this is by design. The checkout and update code use the same "backend"
such that you can use update to fix a failed checkout. But this most likely
is the reason for the fact that you can't recheckout a rep to fix it without
cleaning it.

This is certainly useful as a last resort, but is there any way to
remove/repair damaged or wrong files which are managed by SVN without
deleting the build files?

svn revert -R . restores every file to their original without touching
other files in your system.

svn-clean removes non-managed files, so you don't want to run it if you
want to keep the build files
