In qtiplot ebuild, in src_compile function, invokes the qmake function, in default path it means /usr/bin/qmake (after qt4 installation, it is qmake for qt4), but the qmake for qt3 is placed into /usr/qt3/bin/qmake. Because qt3 and qt4 is incompatible, compilation failed (there are not defined som functions, classes ...). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install qt3 2.install qt4 3.install qtiplot Actual Results: emerge qtiplot: src_compile failed
NOT a bugzilla product bug, please read the instructions before filing a bug.
You don't state what version you are referring to anywhere. I committed qtiplot-0.7.3 to the tree a week ago and it uses the absolute path for qmake. My systems all have qt4 installed and qtiplot built without any problem. Marking as invalid, the ebuild calls '/usr/qt/3/bin/qmake'. Please reopen if the latest version does not work and be more careful when filing new bugs please.
