Bug 33528 – sys-apps/dbus-0.13 breaks when qt is not installed on system

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description James W. Dumay 2003-11-14 19:32:50 UTC]

sys-apps/dbus-0.13 complains when ebuild is in ./configure stage.

configure: WARNING: Qt development libraries not found
configure: error: Qt integration explicitly required, and Qt libraries not found

I Checked the ebuild deps
qt? ( x11-libs/qt )

and src_compile() options
`use_enable qt` \

I unpacked dbus-0.13.tar.gz and ran ./configure --help . I was told I can use
the option --enable-qt or --disable-qt.

I ran ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-qt and dbus configured without a hitch.

The problem lies in the "`use_enable qt`" line in the src_compile() section of
the ebuild.

I have included a fixed ebuild that either enables or disables depending on
where QT is in USE. 

But I voice my concern that dbus needs qt enabled on the system so that it may
"talk" to programs using the qt interface and recommend that qt be installed
with dbus on emerge. This will be a waste of time on systems that dont use qt
libraries or applications.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -C qt
2. emerge dbus

I don't see "-qt" in your USE flags.  if you don't want it to compile with qt support you should use your USE flags.

Created attachment 20764 [details]
Revised ebuild for dbus-0.13, allowing the enabling/disabling of qt in dbus at emerge time

fix'ed :)

My concerns are voiced in the bug details.
