QSSTV Compilation Issues...

QSSTV Compilation Issues...

[John Magliacane]

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.

I had/have a similar issue when building mythtv for Slackware.

The QT'ish bits from my mythtv.SlackBuild script:

-------------------------------------------------
QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt
export QTDIR

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${QTDIR}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

PATH=${PATH}:${QTDIR}/bin
export PATH
-------------------------------------------------

Obviously fix QTDIR for to suit you system.

Probably what you have done anyway, if so then apologies for the noise.

I gave up on using ldconfig for the QT libs when compiling.

Hi

It can also be a problem of version of qt. The qsstv script try  to  
find a version of qt or upper but the matching patern doesn't work  
properly... I had the problem:

Just a case to illustrate:
It looks for a version of 1.2.x  and the two first digits are fixed in  
the code but you are in 1.3.x... It exit on error :-) Check the code  
of the makefile.
