Here is a recap of my recent ebuild script woes....

qt-3.0.4.ebuild failed. I did some research and it seems that the problem may be in the configure script of the qt sourcecode. The "-system-nas-sound" input parameter does not appear to be properly parsed and is rejected. (There is some pretty hairy reg-exp that seems to be comming up short.) Note this is the only parameter of the -system-xxxxx variety to have a hyphen '-' in the xxxxx part of the parameter name.

Commenting the line for this option out of the qt ebuild script allowed qt to carry on just fine with installing qt-3.0.4.

Then I tried to emerge xmms-1.2.7-r4 which has a dependency on avifile-0.6 or greater. The most recent avifile that I have is avifile-0.7.4.20020426.ebuild. It has a dependency for qt that spells out ( =x11-libs/qt-3.0.3*).

So what is nas-sound anyway and why is that config option causing qt-3.0.4 to blow up? What can I expect if I emerge xmms and allow qt-3.0.3.1 to go on after 3.0.4 has been installed? Why does avifile explicitly limit the qt library to a 3.0.3* series?

Hopefully I will remember the right combination of username and email to get the help I forgot my password link to do me some good, but in the meantime these are the questions that I am trying to research. If anyone else happens to be exploring same/similiar issues let's try to compare notes (well issues with the ebuild that is, not the password problem...) Maybe I should get some sleep...

FYI - This is from QT- mailing list.

Yes, the regular expressions are incorrect. Change the first
.*
to
[^-]*
for each of the involved regular expression.

Otherwise Qt bugs are handled by sending a bug report to

I'm forwarding this bug to qt-bugs@trolltech.com.
