Because KDE5 does not work well on my box (FreeBSD 12.0, amd64, Radeon-CAICOS dedicated graphics card) - and KDE4 worked flawlessly under 10.4 on the same box, I thought I could fall back to KDE4 till KDE5 becomes operational. But x11/kdelibs-kde4 does not build on a clean box (after 'pkg delete -a -f' and building xorg and drm-kmod; radeonkms is always loaded). The build fails with no hint as to what might be wrong. The complete log is attached - build log + showconfig-recursive. Request urgent help to build KDE4 while the port is still available (perhaps till end of current month). Also request FreeBSD ports team to provide KDE4 packages (baseapps + kdelibs + kde-runtime + kde-workspace) for FreeBSD 12.0 till KDE5 is known to work well. Thanks. Manish Jain

Hi Kubilay/others, Is there some fix I can apply myself locally so as to get the port kdelibs-kde4 to build under my 12.0 box's ports ? Tx MJ
Moin moin KDE4 will be removed at the end of the year. So unfortunately kde@ will not invest any time in fixing that for the remaining ten days of its life. Sorry. Please open a PR for the issues you face with Plasma5. Mfg Tobias
Hi Tobias/others, I filed a bug for Plasma5 at: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=234132 Tx Manish
Hi Tobias/others, Even though I will now not try a KDE4 build, it should still be possible to have pre-compiled packages for kde4-{baseapps/libs/runtime/workspace} @FreeBSD12.* being made available for me to facilitate my KDE4 installation. Thanks. Manish
