where is qvfb?

Hello friends,
I've built qt 4.3 with configure option "-qvfb", and installed it. But executable of qvfb is not created. Do you have any idea why?

In a nutshell, it's an X11 application so you'll need Qt/X11. See Qtopia Core's Virtual Framebuffer for more details.

That's the package which i built : qt-x11-opensource-src-4.3.1.tar.gz

Shouldn't qvfb be built into the "bin" directory? All the components are ok except qvfb(designer , assistant...)

Isn't qvfb part of Qtopia, not Qt?

It's not built by default, because I guess most people don't need it. It's in tools/qvfb. It's clearly described in the document I already gave a link to.

Actually it's part of Qt.

How to build QVFB ?, when i build it like :

The Virtual Framebuffer (QVFb) application requires the libxtst library in addition to the libraries used to build Qt for X11. This library enables the use of the Record extension to the X protocol to be used in applications.

but still error,
you can read error same me
