make xconfig, libqt3-dev libqt3-mt-dev
Hi, I finally decided to jump to the 2.6 kernel branch :-) First I made sure I had recent releases of make, binutils, etc. Then I downloaded, installed and untarred the kernel-source-2.6.8 package. When I executed make xconfig, I got this error message: HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/qconf /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/qconf] Error 1 make: *** [xconfig] Error 2 I did have the Qt libraries installed, including libqt3-mt-dev (version 3:3.3.3-2). So far, I didn't have had any problem compiling Qt/KDE programs. I checked QTDIR anyway, which was set to /usr/share/qt3 as usual. By googling I found a post from a German user, which experienced the same problem a few days ago: http://www.debianforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29911 I don't know German, but I understood he was suggested to install the libqt3-dev package. I did, and qconf did indeed launch :-) But: 1) I had to install libqt3c102 alongside libqt3c102-mt, which seems a pityful waste of disk space. (libqt3c102-mt is required by KDE). 2) libqt3-dev conflicts with libqt3-mt-dev. In order to install it, I had to uninstall libqt3-mt-dev and several KDE packages which depend on it (kdevelop3-dev, libarts1-dev). This price tag was already mentioned at the German forum. 3) According to the libqt3-dev self description, this package is *deprecated*, and should be replaced by libqt3-mt-dev: WARNING: The nonthreaded version of Qt3 is considered deprecated and may disappear anytime in the future. Please use libqt3-mt-dev instead So, why did configuring the latest kernel require a deprecated library? I guess I missed something along the way :-( Can you please help?

Thomas Adam dijo: Is there any reason why you didn't just install 'libncurses5-dev' and use 'make menuconfig'. Yes, and a very good one: curiosity :-) So far, I've been using Linux 2.0, 2.2 2.4. Now that I was jumping to 2.6, I wanted to see the new configuration app. It's very useable I know, I've been using it for years. doesn't require a boot load of nonsense Qt* libs. This box is fast enough (P4 2.4 MHz, 256 MB RAM) and I use to run KDE on it (I happen to like it), so I don't consider this a big problem.

I can't answer that question. I guess there's no way to know which library you're going to have. I don't think the kernel has a configure script, which will set options in the make file. If it does, try running it. Thanks in advance, Quique -- It's never too late to have a happy childhood. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
