Checked upstream and did not find a matching bug.  Please report at http://bugs.kde.org then add upstream info to this report.  We will monitor upstream for resolution.

Thanks

Comment 2 Jithin Emmanuel 2008-08-13 05:37:33 UTC
I cannot find kchmviewer in bugs.kde.org.
I noticed that kchmviewer has a beta3 release while mine is beta2 from the repositories.

Comment 3 Patrice Dumas 2008-08-13 14:26:32 UTC
I can reproduce the issue.

I'll try to do a update in rawhide and test it, though at that time 
qt-devel seems to be broken in rawhide.

Comment 4 Jithin Emmanuel 2008-08-14 03:33:21 UTC
where should i report this bug for mainstream version. Are you guys going to roll out beta3 version of it?

Comment 5 Patrice Dumas 2008-08-14 14:57:17 UTC
I have a build in rawhide ready which seems to work. I'll do the rebuild
and pushes as soon as possible after some testing.

Comment 6 Patrice Dumas 2008-08-14 16:45:49 UTC
I have committed in cvs but koji seems to have issues.

I don't have internet access until monday, so anybody can build in 
rawhide, and if the build succeed, push to F-9, rebuild and push
through bodhi. Or you can also wait until monday.

Comment 7 Jithin Emmanuel 2008-08-19 03:41:09 UTC
when will the package be released

Comment 8 manuel wolfshant 2008-08-19 08:15:52 UTC
Jithin: after the infrastructure problems are solved.

Comment 9 Patrice Dumas 2008-09-04 16:17:09 UTC
Everything is back to the normal, but I still can't build in rawhide 
due to Bug 460828.

Comment 10 Rex Dieter 2008-09-04 16:36:16 UTC
I'd suggest you manually add the missing BR's, until we have a chance to fully diagnose the excessive linking issues in kdelibs (and elsewhere).

Comment 11 Reindl Harald 2008-09-08 23:32:27 UTC
Same here, before upgrade to Fedora 9 it worked well:

[harry@nb-rhsoft:/data/dokumentationen]$ kchmviewer mysql5.chm
KCHMViewWindowMgr::findTab did not find tab
Abgebrochen
[harry@nb-rhsoft:/data/dokumentationen]$ rpm -qa | grep kchmviewer
kchmviewer-4.0-0.2.beta2.fc9.i386


[harry@srv-rhsoft:/data/dokumentationen]$ kchmviewer mysql5.chm
KCHMViewWindowMgr::findTab did not find tab
Abgebrochen
[harry@srv-rhsoft:/data/dokumentationen]$ rpm -qa | grep kchmviewer
kchmviewer-4.0-0.2.beta2.fc9.x86_64

Comment 12 Jithin Emmanuel 2008-09-18 10:37:41 UTC
Hey when's the fixed package going to be released?

There are many missing BR, including library I don't know at all. Is
there a way to know beforehand which BR are needed?

Comment 14 Patrice Dumas 2008-09-18 11:54:42 UTC
I only use rawhide, so I can only test there. If somebody using F-9 
wants to rebuild and test, just do it.

Comment 15 Rex Dieter 2008-09-18 12:43:06 UTC
Nothing easier than trial-and-error, if you don't have the cmake-fu to untangle the details.

Comment 16 Reindl Harald 2008-11-01 12:42:41 UTC
kchmviewer-4.0-0.2.beta2
What is now with this bugreport?
WHY must here be a beta which is not working instead 
a well running version that was in fedora 8?

> I only use rawhide, so I can only test there

IS THIS A JOKE?
Get VirtualBox or a VMware-Product

You can not build packages with beta-versions and 
drop them to the system without an environment to 
debug this crap!

I'm php-developer and since kchmviewer does not work and i must use the online-html-version every day i would like to kill someone :-(

In F-8 the kde is kde3, in later fedora versions it is kde4.

I am a volunteer, and I will not do complicate things to work around other packages bugs. By chance I have had access to a F-9 box in the mean time, but the issue in Bug 460828 is also present here.

Also I have comaintainers exactly for this purpose, because I only have 
a rawhide box to test. If you want to become a co-maintainer to take care of other versions, you're welcome. In the mean time, I accept patches.

> You can not build packages with beta-versions and

I can. If you want to help me maintain my packages better, you're welcome. You can even become the primary maintainer of kchmviewer, no problem with that, do you volunteer?

> I'm php-developer and since kchmviewer does not work and i must use the

Calm down and instead of killing people provide patches. This is how free software works. Never complain unless you have a tested and sane patch than I don't want to apply.

I would even accept an 'insane' patch along what Rex proposes in Comment #10, but I won't certainly do it myself.

Comment 18 Patrice Dumas 2008-11-16 12:20:42 UTC
Maybe another possibility would be not to have kde4 support. Also accepting patches.

Comment 19 Reindl Harald 2008-11-16 13:34:12 UTC

Have you tried the old non-beta build against kde3libs which are shipped with fedora? Amarok, krusader and some other KDE3-Applications are running fine with kde4

What helps a kde4 app which is NOT working?

Sorry i'm webdeveloper and can not program in c++, but anyways i have some vmwares to rebuild src.rpms with some changed flags - so i can not understand to build and release without having the target-os running

The previous beta worked at some point, and then stopped working with soe change in kde4. Now reverting to the old kchmviewer would involve epochs, which I'd like to avoid.

The build with kde4 is not working.

Rebuilding is not an issue, testing is.

I am currently trying to rebuild without kde4 support, after all it was like this for t e previous version and it works.
