KDE 3.5.3 is in Fink unstable (10.3, 10.4-transitional, and 10.4). It looks like there’s an issue with kdenetwork3 building in 10.4-transitional, and a couple of people have reported some strange build errors in kdegraphics3 that I can’t reproduce, but other than that I think things are looking pretty good. There aren’t really any OSX-specific changes, but a few build system things have been cleaned up.
In other news, the D-Bus branch of kdelibs has officially moved to trunk. This means no more DCOP weirdness on Mac OS X. (yay!) I’ve put together updated versions of my (universal) KDE4 support binaries that include Qt 4.1.3 as well as D-Bus and it’s dependencies. Note that I don’t provide a CMake package anymore, you can get Mac OS X binaries from the CMake site.

Looks like kdepim builds on kdelibs4 now!
I’m in the process of getting Qt/Mac 4.1.3 final (plus the KDE qt-copy patches) finished up for my binary packages, and then I’m going to start tooling up for trying out some more KDE/Mac stuff. It will take a little time to get all the DBus stuff sussed out on OSX.
At least there’s something interesting to try out; perhaps I can get KMail running.

There’s been quite a bit going on since my last Fink status update. Here’s what I’ve released since April 27th.
amaroK: I’ve rearranged the amaroK package (again), and updated it to 1.4. It’s still got a wrapper package (“amarok”) but now the core and the output engines are separate packages. Since the gstreamer engine was not deemed stable for the initial 1.4 release, the only engine that’s packaged is the xine engine, but eventually, you will have the choice of 1 or more engines to install on top of the amaroK core without needing variants.
GNUPG: I updated gnupg to 1.4.3, as well as gnupg-idea, which was long overdue for an update.
GStreamer: I finally did a big overhaul of the GStreamer packages. There’s now a wrapper package for all GStreamer 0.10 plugins (called “gst-plugins-0.10”), I’ve also finally finished up packaging gst-plugins-bad and gst-python. Also of note, gst-plugins-good-0.10 reintroduces the osxaudiosink, missing since 0.8, so you can get native audio again (instead of routing through the esound or SDL output plugins). The osxvideo sink is not quite as ready for primetime, so I’ve left it out still. Hopefully it’s coming soon.

I’ve put up a new release of the universal Qt installer, based on the 4.1.3 20060503 snapshot. Qt-copy has moved to a 4.1.3 snapshot as well, so I figured I’d do that, at least, to keep up.
I’ve also been working on getting the KDE CMake stuff capable of doing universal binaries, but I’ve run into some strange issues with linking stuff mixed inside and outside of the /Developer/SDKs directories (even though everything I’m linking to should be universal). If anyone knows more about how that stuff works, please let me know. 🙂
On a related note, recently, Jos Boumans at xs4all got together a donated system for Fink, and I’ve been working on getting everything set up. We’re going to be working on moving services there as much as possible over the next weeks, to get away from SourceForge’s spotty performance. I’ve got LDAP and mail set up, and am working on bring other things up as time permits. Thanks for the hosting, Jos!

So I’ve put universal Qt4 and “kdesupport” (for lack of a better term) packages up on kde.opendarwin.org now, in preparation for an attempt to start building (universal) KDE4 binary snapshots from the nightly and continuous builds of kdelibs. They install to /opt/qt4 and /opt/kde4-deps respectively.
This makes it even easier to start building the base of KDE/Mac and helping out in the porting effort. Feel free to hop in and starting trying to get it to build for yourself. The more the merrier!
Update:
I’ve also made a package for CMake as well now, you can get it at the KDE/Mac site too.

While it’s not officially supported, and can cause breakage when building certain packages, it’s possible to use distcc with Fink if you’re careful.
I finally got around to documenting setting MAKEFLAGS in Fink on the wiki. Heed the warnings, but for the most part it works pretty smoothly.
Also, I’m in the process of starting down the road of updating kde.opendarwin.org now that there’s some decent progress on KDE/Mac. I’m making Installer.app packages of universal Qt and “kdesupport” (the tarball documented on the Building KDE/Mac from Source wiki page.) There won’t be universal kdelibs and stuff until I figure out how to get such integrated into the cmake build, but in the meantime, it will save some folks some building, and set the groundwork for getting some real snapshot stuff packaged up nicely.

Starting to see some nice KDE/Mac traction. I see dfaure’s been doing some work on making kdepim build. Tanner’s cmake code to find executables inside bundles is now in CMake proper and in the 2.4.0 release candidate. I’m waiting for a few more test-builds to finish, and I will be releasing KDE/X11 3.5.2 (finally) to Fink unstable. An invasive qt3 release went out tonight in preparation to that. I finally moved everything into /sw/lib/qt3 so that $QTDIR works as expected (with symlinks to provide the old directories as necessary).
In the meantime, here’s what else I’ve done in the Fink tree recently.
distcc: A small (but important) change to the DISTCC_TRANS stuff fixes having a mac act as a distcc node for my linux-hosted darwin cross-compiler setup.
cairo: Updated to 1.0.4.
dbus qt3 bindings: build fixes
libexif12: Fixes for doxygen doc building.
libmpcdec3: Updated to 1.2.2.
poppler: New package (poppler1, the shared library changed versions) and an update to the poppler qt3 bindings.
Qt3: Rearranged the qt3 package to have a proper $QTDIR in /sw/lib/qt3. Also incorporated many of the KDE patches to Qt . . . → Read More: Updates Since March 20th

Looks like things are getting some momentum.
Someone I spoke with on IRC hammered out an implementation of KGlobalAccel for Qt/Mac now, although I don’t know if he’s got the code in yet. I’ve been doing some tinkering with getting KStartupInfo to be a stub rather than missing altogether, so we can stop #ifdef’ing out stuff all over the code.
I’ve also cleaned up a bunch of the DISPLAY code, although I haven’t committed it yet because it touches a lot of stuff and I want to double-check it all.
Tanner got some code working for finding app bundles in cmake, and I’m going to integrate that code into the KStandardDirs findBundle code as well.
I’ve put together a tarball (universal even!) of all of the basic requirements of building KDE/Mac from source (minus Qt and kdelibs). Just follow the instructions there to get moving. If they’re stable enough, I might resurrect the kde.opendarwin.org package-generation and start making drops of things that people can play with.
With some of this pending code, I was able to actually get Konqueror running, although poorly. The caption says DCOP . . . → Read More: kdelibs/Mac can run simple apps

Yes, yes, I know it’s what you’ve all been waiting for… With SourceForge’s CVS server being down, I’ve been forced out of much Fink work for a bit, so I’ve been taking stock of where the KDE/Mac port is. I figured I’d wait to post about it today, since if I did so yesterday, no one would believe me.
Tanner Lovelace has been taking some notes on getting things up and running, and has been working with the CMake folks when he’s run into bugs, and it looks like thinks have been moving along pretty nicely.
A recent commit from Hamish Rodda wiped out the crappy KAccel mess that was very X11-specific and hardly portable. With that change, kdelibs builds, and I’ve been able to get a few small apps running, although there are still a lot of issues with things in flux after the KAccel (and some i18n) changes. I’ve even managed to get some nightly and continuous builds going on an intel 10.4 box and a ppc 10.3 box so we can track failures a bit easier.

A lot has been going on. We’ve been working hard to make sure things work in the 10.4 tree, and doing build tests on 10.4/x86. I think we’re starting to get close to being able to put together a bindist.
I’ve posted a few updates recently, but nothing about what’s been going on in my packages, so… It’s update time. 🙂
cairo: Cairo 1.0.2 got moved to stable, and 1.0.4 was released to unstable.
commons-codec: Version 1.3 was released to unstable.
commons-fileupload: Updated to 1.1 in unstable.
commons-httpclient: Updated to 3.0 in unstable.
commons-net: Updated to 1.4.1 in unstable.
commons-resources: Updated to a recent CVS snapshot.
commons-validator: Updated to 1.2.0 in unstable.
DBD::Pg: Version 1.43 was released to stable.
DBI: Stable was updated to 1.50.
distcc: Unstable got updates to support my build translator for using cross-compilers. and went through a few revisions.
EKG: Stable was updated to 1.6 final.
flex: Flex came out of abandonment and got a new release (and a new website).
giflib and libungif: 4.1.4 of both giflib and libungif were released to unstable and then . . . → Read More: Updates Since Feb 11th
