QSSTV Compilation Issues...

[John Magliacane <kd2bd@yahoo.com>]

Hello Fellow Linux Hams.

It's an issue I've tackled several times before: Compiling qsstv-5.3c under Slackware.  The problem is that I don't recall the "trick" necessary to get QSSTV's ./configure script to recognize the Qt libraries present on the system.

I vaguely remember Qt (possibly) needs to be compiled with thread support.  The latest versions of Qt default to that mode of operation.

I also remember having to make sure the QTDIR environmental variable points to the installed Qt library. Been there. Done that.

I even made sure the Qt libraries are in my /etc/ld.so.conf path, and I've run ldconfig.

Yet, I get the dreaded, "checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.1.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!" error message when running the ./configure script.

I'm trying this on several different versions of Slackware, including the latest version (13.0).  I have even removed the pre-installed Qt libraries on an older distribution and compiled the latest version (Qt-4.6.2) on my own.

No dice.  :-(

Does anyone remember the "trick" necessary to get past this brick wall?

Thanks.
