[arch-general] AUR build of kdemod3-kipi-plugins fails on QString::QString( data->appName() ); ?

[David C. Rankin]

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.
