> It took me 12 hours to get kdelibs-4.12.5 + the rest of kde-base built without... Gentoo and its USE flags system makes this sort of thing really easy. If you have an otherwise idle machine sitting in a closet somewhere, you could even create a Gentoo binary package builder [0] for your primary Linux machine, so you don't have to spend time building the world on your primary box. [0] You compile software on the package builder, it creates tarballs and installation instructions, then you use the package manager on another machine to install those tarballs.

Actually I do use Gentoo :) Despite the USE flags KDE's own dependencies make this rather less than easy. Try remove akonadi, consolekit, polkit, kde-base/pim add "-consolekit -policykit -udisks -udisks2 -upower -raptor -redland -semantic-desktop -virtuoso -soprano -gstreamer -canberra" to your USE flags and rebuild KDE. Ended up having to create a custom ebuild, mask a whole lot of stuff and add some stuff to package.provided to make it work. > you could even create a Gentoo binary package builder [0] for your primary Linux machine I wasn't complaining about compile time, I have 20+ cores distributed for distcc compilation.
