 Posted: Mon Feb 17, 2003 7:11 am Post subject: ebuild attempt - configure not working |
 |
|
Well.... I'm trying to increase my ebuild skills by writing my second ebuild. I noticed that someone was asking for an ebuild of quickdc which is a p2p program. I thought "I'll give that a shot to learn more about creating ebuilds  "
The INSTALL file states that it uses autoconf, so the ebuild should be fairly easy.
However, the default locations for the qt binaries, libraries, and include files are all wrong.
When I do a ./configure --help the last few lines state:
| Code: |
--with-qt-dir=DIR where the root of Qt is installed
--with-qt-includes=DIR where the Qt includes are.
--with-qt-libraries=DIR where the Qt library is installed.
|
Here's the problem. In an attempt to get my ebuild working, I'm just trying to compile the source without going through an ebuild.
When I do a "./configure" by itself, it goes ok. However, when I try to do a "make", it complaines that it can't find /usr/share/qt/bin/moc. That's ok, since moc is in /usr/qt/3/bin.
So, I type the following:
| Code: |
./configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/qt/3 --with-qt-includes=/usr/qt/3/include --with-qt-libraries=/usr/qt/3/lib
|
When I do a "make" again, I get the same error. In fact, I even did an md5sum on the Makefile created by ./configure by itself and ./configure with the arguments for qt, and they are exactly the same.
Now I admit, before I used Gentoo I used an RPM distro, but this is not the first time I am trying to compile something from source.
Someone please tell me that I am doing something totally obvious and I am just being stupid because it is 1:00 AM. |

I don't even care about quickdc, I just want to know what I am doing wrong.
Has anybody compiled quickdc from source successfully? |

For the record, I don't care about quickdc either, but I had a quick look. The ./configure problem seems to be because the download tarball has some stale cached settings that are being used. If you do
| Code: |
$ make distclean
$ ./configure
|
then it finds qt fine all by itself. It still doesn't compile though. It complains about a missing qt header file. I think this may be because it isn't compatible with qt-3--have a look at the README file. |

Thanks,
I have never had to do a "make distclean" before... learn something new everyday!
Thanks again. |
