Yes I'm new to Linux but this interested me enough to give it a try.
I am following the install guide for Mandrake 8.1. I found all the posts to correct my problems trying to compile QT-2.3.2. After reading most the posts the problem is usually not editing the file Linux-g++-shared with the current value of 3.0.4 instead of 3.0.1 or using the Package Manager to install the rpm. I strongly suggest saving them the drive and then using a terminal to install them using the “rpm –i –f RPM-FILE-NAME” I have managed to get QT-2.3.2 to compile ok or at lease it would appear. I have now downloaded ShowEQ and Libeq.a and preparing to do the compile. At this time I have read and search for an answer to my problem with no success. Any real assistance would be appreciated not the typical go read the guide you missed something or you don’t know what your doing so why try.
Status
Qt-2.3.2 appeared to compile correctly 4-5 hours no errors that I could tell
Downloaded and extracted ShowEQ to /root/showeq
Downloaded Libeq.a and placed in /usr/lib
From Terminal
CD /root/showeq
export CC=gcc-3.0.4 ; export CXX=g++-3.0.4 ; export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-2.3.2
make –f Makefile.dist
Upon executing the last command I receive the error
Make: Makefile.dist: No such file or directory
Make: *** No rule to make target ‘Makefile.dist’. Stop.
There is no file in the Showeq directory that matches that definition. My limited understanding is that it would make the file Makefile.dist. I do not pretend to know exactly what I am doing put this has been an interesting foray in to the world of linux.
Thank you for you time
