• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Dirk-Jan Heijs 2002-10-31 06:06:58 UTC]

When trying to emerge qt-3.1.0_pre20021024 I got the following error:

Does this mean that our Xft is not the one qt is looking for?

Just for confirmation, I am getting the same errors on two different machines.  
Both are running xft-2.0 from the gnome-2.1.1 set.

Created attachment 5244 [details, diff]
Patch for the library path.

This solves the compile problem per heliosc's posting here:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=20627.  I'm compiling it now, and can
verify that it compiles past this point.

Well, this seems a patch that can't break anything, so even though I don't have xft2 I'll   
commit it, since you say that it fixes things :-)  
Oh and qt-copy in kde cvs is now up to qt 3.1 rc1, so I guess 3.1.0 isn't too far. I don't   
use this snapshot myself, but the kde guys recommended it for kde 3.1 rc1, so I   
guess it's ok.   
I wonder if this patch is still needed for current qt cvs?...  Well, if someone tells me it 
is, I can add it to the cvs ebuild then.

i have cvs checked out before 2 hours, works without the patch.
