Help: QT ebuild problem

[Catach]

I've been throwing myself at qt (KDE dependancy) for a week now, and
have traced down the Illegal Instruction error i get to a binary the library
uses called uic. As far as i can tell uic is compiled along with the rest of
the qt package (for use in the qt package) and is used in this case to
compile a list of image files (.png) into a source file (I assume for later
use).

qt-3.2.2-r1
the latest gcc (3.2.something)
CFLAGS = -O2 -pipe

Here's what i did-
i stopped 'emerge qt' after the unpacking phase (what utility
unpacks bz2 files? i forgot...) and had a look at some makefiles,
running ./configure without any arguments (the qt ebuild has heaps) and
then making the library by typing 'gmake' manually. It worked fine as i
recall, but there was no emerge install phase so nothing was in the right
place .

I then commented out the 'emake ...' line in the qt ebuild and adding an
exit call, so that a call to 'emerge qt' would unpack and call configure, but
do nothing else. I was planning to compile everything manually
in /var/tmp by calling the same make dependencies as the ebuild does:
# make ... sub-src sub-tools

the sub-tools part includes the following call:

/var/tmp/portage.../bin/uic -L /var/tmp...qt/plugins -embed designercore
/var/tmp...qt/tools/designer/designer/images/* -o qmake_image_collection.cpp

The uic utility (User Interface Compiler) accepts extra plugins with
L .../plugins. The embed option tells uic to make an image collection in the
designercore project. The output is the qmake_image_collection.cpp file.

uic is what generates the illegal instruction. all attempts to recompile uic
have failed as it is heavily embeded in the make-tree (make uic just wont
cut it ).

the uic.cpp source itself is too many thousand lines long (and it's not the
only source), and i dont have the time to debug it. The best solution i
could come up with is ask someone who has an AthlonXP 1800+ or close
equivelant (AthlonXP should do) to send me a basic copy of the uic binary
(basic meaning not too many compile flag optimizations) and i'll
see if i can slot it in somehow.

If anyone has any suggestions or has a copy of uic for me (or a better
way to get qt installed) then please tell!

I too have a qt build problem. The first problem I have is wtf does qt have to do with 'emerge wine'?? I have '-kde' in make.conf, since Win95 was a dumb GUI, the only thing dumber is copying it when there were far better options easily available. Maube the ebuild is a bit blind.

I get:

All I really want is wine, I can manually install qt for the one program I use that needs it.
