Description Christopher Howard 2012-12-12 09:49:10 UTC

Hello. This is a minor issue, but one that creates a bit of confusion and delay for those trying to install stellarium. stellarium-0.11.4a ebuild is set to depend on >=x11-libs/qt-core-4.6. But in fact, this version will not build without >=4.8 versions of the qt libs. Stellarium now uses some .ui xml with attributes that cannot be read by the older version of Qt. More (boring) details available in this thread:

It took me a while to figure out what was going on (the build failure cause was not immediately clear). Please update this dependency to save other Gentoo users from the trouble of investigating the problem.
