Mandrake 10.1

[Threble]

Ok I am having a bit of trouble compiling the files. I Have Mandrake 10.1 Beginner ( the cheap version ). I got most of the dependencies,,,, and it is asking for QT3 >=2.3. I found the RPM for QT3 3.3.3 which is >=2.3. I installed it... execute the show EQ RPM and it still says it needs QT3 >=2.3. Am I missed something. Doesn't seem to be much on this.. can any linux guru's help and explain this in terms for the new linux user :eek:

[BlueAdept]

You have to tell it where the new QT is installed.

Something like:

export QTDIR= /your/new/QT/dir/here

then do the "make -f" blah blah blah stuff.

Hope that helps.

Hi Threble,

I don't think anyone is releasing up-to-date rpms for Mandrake at this time, so you'll need to build it by hand.

~CeleSEQ

[Cryonic]

sounds like an RPM dependency check error. Normal since Mandrake doesn't name their rpms the same for things like "depends" and "requires".

Want to see what I mean:
Fedora Core QT RPM:
http://www.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/fedora/3/i386/qt-3.3.3-8.i386.html

Mandrake QT RPM:
http://www.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/mandrake/10.1/x86_64/media/main32/libqt3-3.3.3-26mdk.i586.html

Notice the difference in the Provides line.

That is what is hanging you up since Mandrake 10.1 should already come with a version of QT that SEQ5 can use.

[Threble]

Well,, I tried to do the QT3DIR= from the first post. No Luck! I have 2 versions of SEQ the RPM version for mandrake and the Tar Version. I have tryied both. When I try to ./configure the Unzipped Tar file I get at the end : checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
When I do the RPM file the software installer takes over and says that i do not have QT3>=2.6 when I HAVE installed it and my QT3 3.3.3 installed without any dependancy issues....anyone have any ideas. Are you saying i should have gotten another version of Linux LOL.

Is there intentionally a difference between what you did (that didn't work) and what BA said to do?

[I<3EQ]

configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.


Did you look at config.log? What does it say? Do you have gcc installed?

RPMs built on Mandrake, RPMs built on RedHat, and RPMs built on SuSe sometimes don't mesh well (something I wish the major RPM-based distrobutions would address... but that's a long digression :p) but there's absolutely no reason why ShowEQ won't run on Mandrake 10.1. You just need to listen to what the scripts are trying to tell you.

[CeleSEQ]

Also Threble, as far as I know, no one has released an RPM for Mandrake of the latest version, and with ShowEQ, it's very rare that older versions will work at all, since the changes are almost always to match changes Sony makes in the game. The latest version is 5.0.0.18.

Assuming you have a full build environment with gcc, automake, autoconf, working, (which from the errors you describe seems unlikely), it would be quite trivial to take my Fedora Core SRPMs and tweak the showeq.spec to make it build on mandrake. It would almost certainly be only a difference of the correct naming of the various required packages, and perhaps some paths etc.

But first you have to have a build environment that works. If you can't get it to configure, then you have other problems... my guess is that you're missing important components required for compiling software, and need to identify those and get them installed.

[codepig666]

Post your config.log

Mandrake has come with showeq compliant QT versions for several releases now, so your problem is probably not where it seems.

-piggy (I use Mandrake, so I promise we can make it work for ya)

Here is my config.log file...

running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by showeq configure 5.0.0.16, which was

I'm no expert but regardless of your QT problems it doesn't look to me as if you have g++ configured correctly or it isn't installed at all.

Maybe try installing it and rerunning the ./configure?

[Threble]

Ok this would shed some light.
Do any mandrake users know where I can get the latest version of the package?
I checked my mirrors and only this I see is gcc-C++ packages. Nothing in g++, is it named something else. Boy they really need to do alittle more explanation. They really throw you to the wolves if your new to linux. I love the stability and speed but more documentation would be nice. Also, does anyone know where i can go for a list of what all these packages do? :eek:

[I<3EQ]

You want to install those gcc-C++ packages. Install them and repeat the ./configure. Post a new log if it fails again.

[doox00]

I use mandrake 10.1 all the packages I needed to install for showeq were already available on the cd's (4 cd version, you can get it here:)

http://www.filemirrors.com/search.src?type=begins&file=Mandrakelinux-10.1-Official-Download-CD4.i586.iso

in your 'start', system, configuration, software, install software, you can search for the packages you need. install each one, once you are done use the mandrakeupdate it will patch/update every package you have to the latest version.
