I confirm the patch works, it installs and works perfectly. (I did tested the chat and file transfer though) Thank You!

[Comment 6 Dmitry Suloev 2012-11-22 07:28:20 UTC]

What about skype static linked with qt? It's not supported anymore?

Prelink still breaks this version, please do not remove PRELINK_PATH_MASK.

Any idea when this will appear in Gentoo?

If you mean the attached ebuild: What about comment #7?

In portage. Thank you for reporting (and ebuilds, diffs)

[Comment 13 Hypnos 2012-12-04 12:54:05 UTC]

I'm confused by the ebuild that hit the tree -- why is x11-libs/qt-core:4 required for amd64 ?

qt-core:4 will provide command `lrelease` the skype ebuild is using to build translation files, it's there to ensure the generated files are up-to-date (and compatible with system's qt4)

i've been bouncing back and forth with the issue, and finally decided it's best to just always run the update

i can be convinced otherwise, but pulling in something minor as qt-core:4 which you can build without USE flags, it always gets you the lrelease command

[Comment 15 Hypnos 2012-12-05 03:20:31 UTC]

Thanks for the explanation.  Just to install qt-core is a 280MB source download, and Googling around it seems like a few MB after being built, so altogether it's rather heavy for my tastes.

I commented out this dep and the src_compile subroutine in the ebuild, and put it in my personal overlay.  Works fine for me, though I only use English.
