How long does qt-assistant-4.7.4 takes to install ?(~solved)

Hi

I had to stop qt-assistant-4.7.4 build after more than 5 hours when 4.7.3 and 4.7.2 took less than one hour and 4.7.1 about one and a half.
It was stuck in qml.qch production.
Has anyone faced a thing like that ?

Thanks in advance.
Laurent G.

EDIT: I (temporarily) disabled doc and assistant for PyQt4 and reemerged it. Now waiting for qt-assistant-4.7.4 gets something different to try again.

Are you using the pch flag? If your machine is low on memory, that might be the reason why it gets stuck.

Yes I do.
But I can not remember it would have hit the 3/4 of my 1 Gig.
That said, removing this useflag could help me.
Thank you.

No better, qt split ebuilds appear a nightmare when smth goes wrong.
I am in a middle of a transition I can not complete nor rollback without removing all KDE and Qt.
:-/
EDIT: bad luck, it's on a license transition : all (more than 10000) files have changed, the unified diff is around 150MB for the qt tgz between 4.7.3 and 4.7.4.
The diff between just qt-assistant part (as the ebuild makes it) is just version and license related.
To find out what went wrong will be far from easy.

How old is your machine, by the way? Could you post "emerge --info qt-assistant"?

On my (newish) laptop, it takes less than 5 minutes...

You might "emerge --depclean qt-assistant"
if you disable USE-flag qthelp ?

Hi
KDevelop seems to be the only one to have the USE "qthelp". qt-creator has the "doc".
But plasma-workspace depends on PyQt4 that depends on qt-assistant.
May be recompiling PyQt4 with USE "-doc" may cut the dependency.
Thanks anyway.

As I said, try "-qthelp", because qthelp is the flag which draws qt-assistant ....just try!

Hi
For I wrote in previous message :
equery hasuse qthelp
* Searching for USE flag qthelp ...
[IP-] [ ] dev-util/kdevelop-4.2.3:4

And in the edit of the first post I indicated that I found a turn-around with temporarily cutting need for qt-assistant from PyQt4 by reemerging with -doc.
Thanks again, though ;-)

It seems that's in CppCodeMarker::addMarkUp that it takes forever.
Wanted to build debug "by hand" outside emerge. Found a tools.pro not syntax correct :-/
