4.x series of KDE 4 (Slackware current) BOOST issue

[Jeff Robinson]

Hi folks,

I've been using Digikam on Slackware current for quite a while, but seem
to have gotten myself into a dilemma that I can't figure out.

To try and fix some issues I was having compiling Handbrake I removed
all the non-standard Slackware packages, and then added back libraries
as I needed to make certain there was no extra cruft in the system.

Understandably my previous build of Digikam 4.13 no longer worked, so I
went to recompile it... but I get stuck at the same place each time.
I've tried this with 4.12, 4.13, and 4.14 but the same output:

I'm not certain if this is an error with the Boost library that I have,
or if it is caused by something else.  The irony of it all is I don't
use the video slideshow plug-in, so even being able to skip that build
would be acceptable to me.

Optimally I'd like to use the latest Digikam, but with the limited spare
time I currently have I don't want to try shoe-horning KDE5 onto my
system, but let the package maintainers do that work for me.

Any hints as to where I could start looking for a fix?

There is no boost use in videoslideshow code.

The error come from Qt moc preprocessor. So a Qt problem, probably a mix of version or a broken install.

In all case videoslideshow is removed in Qt5 port of digiKam, and we will work on a new solution based on QtAV/ffmpeg in the future.

If you don't want to compile whole new DK 5.x, we have do it for you in AppImage universal linux bundle, available in DK download place.
