Hi, I want to compile hydrogen cleanly.
Since the ebuild of hydrogen fails to compile because the system "linux3" is not known (which happens even when compiled on a linux-2.6*-booted machine)... I was pointed to patch which fixes this problem, but unfortunately it only opens the way to the next problem. I decided to try to compile hydrogen from vanilla sources and outside the emerge/portage system to better understand wahts happening. When doing so, one has to set QTDIR and then run scons. Hydrogen needs qt4. I set QTDIR to /usr/share/qt4. The compilation fails because QtGui could not be found. QtGui is here /usr/include/qt4/Qt/QtGui which is a file which includes all relevant header file in one go. So I tried to set QTDIR to /usr/include/qt4 but this produces the same problem. I decided to hack the relevant file of hydorgen and hardcoded the path to QtGui directly into the include statement. No comments on this please, it is a bad bad ugly thing to do so. I simply wa curious to see next problem... And I was not dissappointed. This time the QtGui-file could not find the first header file which it includes: #include <QtCore/QtCore> To hack also /usr/include/qt4/Qt/QtGui is no way. So....either hydrogens build mechanism does not fit the installation of Qt4 on my Gentoo system (Qt4 was installed via emerge/portage) or it has a bug or the problem sits right in front of my monitor and is currently writing a post to the gentoo-users mailinglist... ;) In the latter case the chance are not small, that I will be able to fix the problem... If I only would know, how ;)) What did I wrong here? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards mcc
