qt issues (ubuntu)

[sheaferm]

ShowEQ has compiled and is now running on my machine, but just as an FYI for Ubuntu users (and possibly other distros, I don't know), qt now has no qlist.h anymore (as of when, I'm not sure), so it's not installed on Ubuntu when you install the obvious qt stuff. You also need to install libqt3-compat-headers.

This was the only problem I had that wasn't solved by the magical "search" function on the site, so I just thought I'd share in case anyone else was stymied by this problem.

If this is an obvious thing to Linux users, feel free to get rid of this post. I'm a FreeBSD sysadmin by profession and Linux confuses and frightens me. I just chose Linux for my showeq needs because way back when (2 or 3 years ago before I temporarily quit playing EQ) I got showeq running on FreeBSD and it was slow as molasses in January.

You aren't thinking like a debian-based linux distro. Let apt help you.

% sudo apt-get update
% cd /tmp
% apt-get source showeq
% apt-get build-dep showeq

It will do the right thing. See my .sig for for details.

ahh yes, well the links in your .sig (that I see are now working) weren't working earlier when I was trying to get this installed.:)
