Unable to build showeq-6.4.0

[np78]

I have been running showeq-6.3.16 until now and was trying to install version 6.4.0.
I checked out the svn version and ran

make -f Makefile.dist build
./configure

Without any problems.
When I run make I get these errors:

Do I need to update some libraries to make this build?

I am running on Fedora Linux 36 (Workstation Edition)

[cn187]

Hmm... I think I see the problem. Though it's odd that it's working for so many others... so something on Fedora may just be more strict (or at least, doing things in a different order).

Please try this patch (apply with "patch -p1 < /path/to/pthread_include_fix.txt" from the root of the source tree) and report back as to whether or not it fixes it. I think it should.

[cn187]

Actually I was able to test this with a Fedora 36 docker container. Apparently it only affects qt4, not qt5. But the patch appears to fix it so I went ahead and committed it to trunk.

You can just run svn update, make -f Makefile.dist build, etc. and you should be good to go.

Using svn update gave me the same err, so tried deleting my folder and do a fresh svn checkout, but with same error.
However, patching with the pthread_include_fix.txt made the build work.

Thanks a lot for a quick response!
