Qt-3.1.2 error... Help, pls

lexa · Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2003 5:20 pm Post subject: Qt-3.1.2 error... Help, pls

Hi!

I got a problem compiling qt-3.1.2, it stops with some errors, those lines look like:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.2/../../../libfontconfig.so: undefined reference to `FT_Get_Next_Char'

Anyone with the same problem?

Thx

lexa- I got the same error while compiling qt. I haven't yet found a fix and the referred thread was no help. Did you ever get qt to compile? I'm stumped at this point =/

I'm still as stumped as either of you; as I mentioned in the thread I referred to, my particular problem appears to deal with font stuff, to wit: Freetype, fontconfig, and Xft. Are yours similar, or does the compile barf in a different place?

nick- mine always dies trying to link qt-3.1.2/tools/designer/uic. I get exactly the same "/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.2/../../../libfontconfig.so: undefined reference to `FT_Get_Next_Char' " that lexa apparently gets. I've tried everything that I can think to try from what I've found here in the forums and in the bug reports (including unmerging my old version of qt, D'oh!), but to no avail. I noticed earlier that there have been some updates to qt and xft in the portage tree, so I think i'll sync and see if that helps.

so I ran emerge sync, emerge freetype fontconfig xft, and emerge -u qt and still no luck.

The symbol that it can not find is part of the freetype package.

To solve the issue, put 'truetype' into your useflag, and do:
emerge freetype
emerge fontconfig
emerge qt

That should solve the issue.

Erik- I added truetype to USE, emerged freetype and fontconfig, attempted qt-3.1.2-r1 and got the same error in the same place. I'm stumped. Anymore ideas? thanks!

Very strange that it can't find the symbol...

Ok, try this:

I had freetype-2.1.3-r2, emerging 2.1.4 and fontconfig now. Then I'll cross my fingers and emerge qt. Thanks for your help, I'll let you know how it went in an hour (yes, I've emerged it so often that I know how many minutes I have to wait till it should have errored ;)

nope, same error while emerging qt-3.1.2-r1. Guess I'll try qt-3.1.2-r2. I've got no idea where to go if that doesn't work. Any ideas? thanks!

qt-3.1.2-r2 didn't emerge either. Where should I go from here? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

... when i install kde, i did: emerge xfree and etc...
and, possible, something that there was necessary Qt did not be fixed...
So, i has unmerge xfree and then emerge kde thereby.

Is it possible that these errors are due to the byte code interpreter being turned off in freetype2? I have seen similiar errors in the discussion of the various versions of Xft.h and recompiling freetype with bci turned on then recompiling the pkg has worked for me in the past. BTW, I get the same error compiling qt-3.1.2-r3 on my ~x86, gentoo 1.2, gcc2.95.3 box - haven't tried it yet on the gcc 3.2.2 gentoo 1.4 machine.

One forum I visited suggested that old freetype libraries in /usr/X11R6/lib from before FT_Get_First_Char was implemented should be removed to solve this problem. Another post said:
