Guys,
Just messing around tweaking out kdemod3 with all the updates I can find, I was working to build kdemod3-kipi-plugins. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24800
This package build now failes with the error:
cdarchiving.cpp: In constructor `KIPICDArchivingPlugin::CDArchiving::CDArchiving(KIPI::Interface*, QObject*, KAction*)': cdarchiving.cpp:77:52: error: cannot call constructor `QString::QString' directly cdarchiving.cpp:77:52: error: for a function-style cast, remove the redundant `::QString' make[4]: *** [cdarchiving.lo] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory
The line in cdarchiving.cpp is:
m_hostName = QString::QString( data->appName() );
Googling, there are other packages that have the m_hostName assignment in the same manner so I don't know what the issue is. Is there some build environment misconfig such that the build is calling the incorrect Qt for kde4? How would I check?
90+ percent of all the kdemod3 updates build just fine, so I don't think it is a generic problem. Any thoughts on what to check?
I have also posted this message at AUR with the package as well. I've done what it said and removed the the redundant `::QString' and it seems to be building for now. I'm unsure how bad this change might hose me. (what - worst case a bad hostname in the cdarchiving module?) How bad could removing the (whatever you call it? class reference?) be?
Thanks for any help or thoughts you might have.

The error was introduced with gcc 4.5, to comply with the C++ standard. It is simply a bug in their code, which can be fixed by changing the line to "m_hostName = QString( data->appName() );" or possibly by specifying "-fpermissive" in CFLAGS. -- Tavian Barnes
