Error on make

[Sneaky]

Just updating after todays patch I get the following error during make:

make[2]: *** [m_preferences.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/showeq/src'
make[1] *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/showeq'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

I have updated every patch since Feburary and I have never received this so I am assuming it is patch related. Anyone have any ideas?

[Sneaky]

OK I redid the CVS checkout and got the entire download this time and it worked. (at least it compiled...) Something up with CVS?

[Catt]

Did you:

make -f Makefile.dist

??

[satellitedud]

to start off with i would definetly describe myself as a Noob when it comes to linux. I am getting about the same error on the make command. tried redownloading as previous poster did but didnt seem to fix the problem.

decode.cpp:306:7 : invalid preprocessing directive #nerrorcode

This is my first time ever trying to compile SEQ.

This is the error I get when tryng to compile:


c++ -g -02 -o <object code> -L/usr/lib/qt3/lib -lqt -IEQ /usr/lib/libgdbm.so -lz -lpcap -lpthread
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt

The rest of the error is just the recursive directory exit stuff.

OS: Red Hat 7.3
QT: 3.0.4
GCC: 3.0.4

-lqt is try to link in your libqt library... which is either in the wrong place, or you have your QT directory set incorrectly..

I have been running SEQ for more than a year without any problems until now. Like Kipper, I am also getting the error message towards the end of the make command. I have not touched my QT directory since I installed 7.2 so no clue why it wont properly update after getting the most recent CVS. If it helps, I have been following the tgf install thread and until last night, never had an install or update issue. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

[Kipper]

Thanks, fixed it

[halmaco]

Kipper, what did you do to fix it if you don't mind me asking as I have tried everything including a full reinstall of 7.2.

[high_jeeves]

You probably just dont have your QT dir set correctly... A full re-install was not necessary to fix that, just have to make sure you set it before you build...

[Kipper]

What I did to fix it, was that when i looked in the /lib directory, I found that there ws no libqt.so symbolic link pointing to the newly compiled libqt version 3.0.4. I know I did this wrong, but couldn't remember how to do a symbolic link, I made a copy of the v3.0.4 library and renamed it libqt.so, it compiled without errors, I haven't run the program to see if it works properly.

[halmaco]

Thanks Jeeves. I have searched this site for the better part of two hours and can find nothing on how to set that libqt directory. I have been fiddling with Linux for more than a year and I'm sure its an easy fix, but I guess in my frustration, I have a mental block on this. Any help would be appreciated.

[high_jeeves]

Ummm.. set the QT_DIR environment variable like it says to do in every walkthrough...

make sure you follow each step in the walkthrough, otherwise it isnt going to work...

[halmaco]

Thanks, will try that again. I had been bash seq.txt, I will try it manually this time! Thanks again Jeeves.
