Description eipi 2005-07-25 09:11:14 UTC
It seems that qt does not compile when using uclibc due to the fact that 
uclibc does not provide <fenv.h>. A patch from LFS does exist for qt: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/patches%40linuxfromscratch.org/msg00004.html but I 
don't know how to include it in My Gentoo. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge uclibc 
2.emerge qt 
3. 
 
Actual Results:  
/var/tmp/portage/qt-3.3.4-r3/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.4/src/tools/qlocale.cpp:59:22: 
fenv.h: No such file or director 
 

Expected Results:  
Complete the installation

I've sent the request to qt-bugs, we'll see what Trolltech proposes. 
Comment 2 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-09-19 19:40:28 UTC
Their response was that they aren't planning on supporting uclibc right now, since it's not even to a 1.0 
release.

I'll mark the patch as a LATER, meaning we may support it in the future.  You can always use it in an 
overlay if needed.

Add detection of uclibc as well as just Linux to include fenv.h

3-line patch to have qt correctly detect environment and compile with uclibc. (Patch is same as referenced webpage)
Comment 4 Brenden Conte 2006-01-11 18:39:56 UTC
I would like to second this patch being included in the default qt ebuild.  It is a very simple patch that only adds a detection of uclibc, instead of just "linux", to include fenv.h.  

I have successfully downloaded and built qt with this patch on a uclibc system.  I added the epatch statements after the gcc4 patches.  I have only tested this against 3.3.4-r8.  I could test with other versions, if it would get this patch committed.

I have attached the patch, just in case that page ever goes away.

Comment 6 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-01-19 05:48:57 UTC
I just added this patch to portage.

Does Qt4 need this as well?  I've only added it to Qt3.
