Hello!

Please use this thread if you have problems compiling KWiFiManager. I will try to answer all issues mentioned.

I'm trying to compile version 1.0.2 on Fedora Core 1, and the following item fails:

Hi!

> /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -laudiofile

You need the audiofile development files. A quick search on rpmfind.net shows that RPMs exist with names like "libaudiofile-devel" or "audiofile-devel". I donīt know where to find it specifically under Fedora, but you should be looking for something similar.
BTW: Do you have KDE 3.2.0 under Fedora? Then you have the newest version of KWiFiManager built-in in kdenetwork. You neednīt bother with version 1.0.2 any more then.

Hi,

I have a problem with compiling Kwifimanager 1.0.2 on my FC1 system with kernel 2.6.5-1.356custom with gcc 3.3.2-6.
The .configure runs well, but make exits with:

bash-2.05b# make
make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/kwifimanager'
Making all in kwifimanager

As a NEWBIE I googled around to find some information about a missing rpm/src that provides myview.moc, but with no success.
Maybe it is the wrong approach. Can someone help me out?

Background is, that kwifimanager delivered with KDE3.2 exits with "alarm clock" message when I plug in my Linksys WPC54G running with ndiswrapper 0.7 and bcmwl5.sys. I remember I got it running on my old 2.4 kernel system.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Well, it is. moc files are created during compilation and are not part of a RPM package.

Okay, I have received multiple reports about that alarm bell problem now, and it looks very much like this problem is only under Fedora Core 1. Right now, I am pushing my DSL connection to the limit to get the FC1 ISOs and investigate this myself.
Once the problem is resolved, you should not need to compile 1.0.2 any more. Please give me a few days to check FC1 out.
