Qt 4.1.2 Fails to build on Linux

[rohandhruva]

Yes, I agree patching is not good. Now yet another person on gentoo reported it compiles just fine with gcc 4.1 , though

USE="cups gif jpeg opengl png zlib -accessibility -debug -doc -examples -fire bird -mng -mysql -nas -nis -odbc -postgres -sqlite -xinerama"

USE="cups gif jpeg opengl png zlib -accessibility -debug -doc -examples -fire bird -mng -mysql -nas -nis -odbc -postgres -sqlite -xinerama"

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

meaning that he disabled so much of qt4 !
Any more brainstorms please ?

The biggest difference is that the debug mode was disabled. AFAIR by default Qt is built in both debug and release mode. Did you try passing "-release" option to the configure utility?

I found this line in the PKGBUILD file:

sed -i "s|read acceptance|acceptance=yes|" configure

Why don't you use "-confirm-license" instead?

Ok, i will try passing only -release instead of enabling debug. Also, that PKGBUILD i provided is "shastry"'s now my own, so I am sorry I didnt read ./configure -help fully I will use accept-licence from now on !

Will post my results ASAP, but it will take about 7 hours to compile, so please keep giving more suggestions !

Edit :
1) What difference does enabling / disabling debug make ? I am very new to qt, and I wanted to start off from learning qt4, not qt3.

2) Is 'libtool-slay' proper for qt4 ? i.e. delete all .la files found in the package.

3) Is it recomended to change the official qt CFLAGS ? Since arch and frugalware define their own cflags. However you can see shastry has sed'ed a bit to get qt4 follow them. Is that problematic ?
