(this is essentially GENERIC)
>Description:
I have ttmkfdir installed from ports, which depends on devel/libgnugetopt. During a recent update of my installed ports, the general kde update (as detailed in /usr/ports/UPDATING) failed for kdemultimedia. On inspection this appears to be because kdemultimedia's "configure" finds and attempts to use libgnugetopt.

This causes a compiler error, because libgnugetopt supplies a /usr/include/getopt.h with the declaration

extern int getopt ();

which is in conflict with /usr/include/unistd.h's rather more explicit:

int      getopt(int, char * const [], const char *);

(at least as far as C++ is concerned).

>How-To-Repeat:
portinstall devel/libgnugetopt; portupgrade -f kdemultimedia
>Fix:
I worked around this by briefly removing libgnugetopt for the build. A fix would probably be to teach kdemultimedia that it should ignore the gnu getopt declaration.
