RE: QT Install problems
I haven't seen all of this thread but thought I'd share some of the issues I've had with installing QT 3.0.3. Make ./configure went off without a hitch, as did Make. But when I attempted Make Install I got No rule to make target ../linux-g++/qmake.conf needed by Makefile' After looking in linux-g++, there was NO qmake.conf. So I started from scratch. But first I made a copy of qmake.conf. Then tried it again. After doing a Make then Make Install I checked for ../linux-g++ and again the qmake.conf was gone. So I put the copy back there and tried it again. Same thing, except the error message was the only text in the qmake.conf file! On a whim I did a make clean before doing a make (maybe not a good idea. I was willing to try anything). Then I put fresh copies of qmake.conf and qplatformdefs.h in ../linux-g++/ and then did a make install once again. This time it finished without error, although it took hours, literally. However when I attempted to install Kmyfirewall, it errored out saying that Qt = 3.0.2 ( library qt-mt) not found. Thats where it is now.

Re: QT Install problems
Hi Brian, I think the consesus is that a 'make install' is not required. That being said, you need to make sure /etc/ld.so.conf contains '/usr/lib/qt3/lib' (or whatever directories contain the qt3 libs), then run ldconfig to update the libraries once qt3 is installed. Alternatively, you can create the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH (read this, http://www.visi.com/~barr/ldpath.html) and set it to include the path to the qt3 libs.

Re: QT Install problems
begin Brian Witowski's quote: | Make ./configure went off without a hitch, as did Make. But when I | attempted Make Install I got No rule to make target | ../linux-g++/qmake.conf needed by Makefile' i'm a little surprised that it built at all. qt is generally built in place -- you don't install it after you've built it, because it's already where it's supposed to be. (the reason i'm surprised it built is that it in the past has thrown an error if it's not in $QTDIR as defined by the system configuration. this used to be easier to deal with than it is in some distributions now -- for instance, suse has some nonstandard configuration files that sometimes need to be edited to get the environmental variable override to take place.) -- dep http://www.linuxandmain.com -- outside the box, barely within the envelope, and no animated paperclip anywhere. ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
