Bug 30655 – qt 3.2.1-r2 ebuild ignores doc USE flag

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Axel Reimann 2003-10-08 05:32:50 UTC]

Ok, as I have learned from bug reports #30170 and #30548 
it is not the case that an outdated qt-docs package prevents 
the Qt assistant from working. 
I have added the USE flag 'doc' to my make.conf file, brushed 
qt from my hard disc and re-emerged qt. Since I use the ~x86 
keyword, qt 3.2.1-r2 is emerged as expected. Disappointingly, 
the assistant still misses any and all documentation files. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge qt 
2. start assistant 
Actual Results:  
assistant says: The page could not be found! 
'/usr/doc/qt/3/doc/html/index.html' 
 
This does not come as a surprise, since the doc 
directory is as empty as can be. 
Even  

Expected Results:  
install the qt documentation while emerging qt

The word 'Even' in the above comment belongs to an 
unfinished sentence:
Even 'qpkg -l qt' does not list any documentation files.

It works for me on my end.

Do you get an examples directory with examples in it?  How about a tutorial
directory with the tutorial in it?

/usr/qt/3/examples
/usr/qt/3/tutorial

?

I know that the qt-3.2.1.ebuild copied the files as expected to /usr/qt/3/doc/html.
In qt-3.2.1-r2.ebuild this is supposed to happen to, but it doesn't work.
Seems like the r2 ebuild created the /usr/qt/3/doc/html directory, copied
no files into it and portaged removed the empty directory.

[Comment 4 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2003-10-08 12:15:25 UTC]

Please try the revised -r2 ebuild and see if it fixes your problems.

Works fine now, Caleb. Thx.

[Comment 6 Axel Reimann 2003-10-09 03:01:52 UTC]

Yes, everything is there now: examples, tutorial, and documentation.
Assistant works out of the box. Thank you all for the immediate help!
