Error installing SEQ on RH Limbo w/ qt 3.0.5

[matrix]

I'm now trying to install the latest version of Showeq (got it from CVS today) on a fresh install of RedHat (beta) Limbo. RedHat Limbo comes with qt 3.0.5 and pressumably gcc3.1 and should therefore work out of the box with the --enable-old-compiler command when doing the ./configure.

That doesn't seem to be the case though. I tried installing qt-2.3.2 and just can't seem to get that to work. I tried Zaphod's precompiled gcc3 qt2.3.2 rpm's to no avail. Anyhow, I would really like to get Showeq working with my existing 3.0.5. My config log file is attached to the post for all the information you need, thanks.

If it comes with gcc 3.1, then why are you using the --with-old-compiler option???? That is for getting it to work with gcc 2.9.x

also, the log suggests that it is having problems find QT.

Still a problem locating the Qt Library, as shown in the log, when I just do a normal "./configure" (log is exactly the same when doing a ./configure --enable-old-compiler and ./configure though in the future I will just leave that option out).

It gets the Qt Path correct though. I had the same exact problem when I compiled qt-2.3.2 with gcc3 on RH 7.3 -- showeq couldn't locate the qt library but could locate the qt path.

QTDIR=/path/to/qt
PATH=$PATH:$QTDIR/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$QTDIR/lib
export QTDIR PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I solved the ./configure problem and am now doing a Make.

Didnt spend too long trying to fix it 'elegantly' =P

Im not sure what previous versions looked like, but qglobal does :

#define QT_VERSION 0x030005
#define QT_VERSION_STR "3.0.5"

I changed my configure script as follows :

Lines 6812-6816 deal with getting the version.

I added :

qt_major_version=3
qt_minor_version=0
qt_major_build=5

At line 6817 - just before the qt_lib_minor_ver= line

Built fine after this.

IN SIMPLER TERMS for people experiencing this issue:

Open the "configure" file in the Showeq directory in some sort of text editor (such as Emacs). I did "emacs configure" and then search for the string "qt_lib_minor_ver=" and add this right before it:

qt_major_version=3
qt_minor_version=0
qt_major_build=5

It will then correctly detect your qt-3.0.5 library directory.

BTW Thanks for the reply Cryonic
