I stumbled upon this when trying to install qt-creator. As there aren't differences in handling the doc-USE-Flag in qt-core in qt-core-4.5.0_rc1::qting-edge and 4.4.2-r1::gentoo I think this problem also applies to qt-core from portage. The problem is, that the tool "qdoc3" get's built but not installed. The solution is to add the "dobin"-line in src_install similar to this: ### if use doc; then emake INSTALL_ROOT="${D}" install_htmldocs || die "emake install_htmldocs failed." dobin "${S}"/tools/qdoc3/qdoc3 || die "dobin qdoc3 failed" fi ### As mentioned i did this with 4.5.0_rc1, but the problem should be the same with 4.4.2 from portage. Reproducible: Always
OK, I checked it (though I did not want to do the downgrade...) and really qdoc3 does not get installed with qt-core-4.4.2-r1 from portage, though doc-flag is set. Just tried it to validate the problem.
Thanks for reporting This issue has been fixed on overlay. qdoc3 is installed by qt-assistant and not qt-core module. We dont need to fix that on portage since no package requires qdoc3 binary. As far as it concernes qt-creator , works only with Qt-4.5 and this fix is already applied on all qt-assisant-4.5* packages :)
I forgot to mention, that I am closing it since i think i answered your question. Feel free to re-open it if you still have issues :) Thanks
