Same problem here, build log identical to Jason's.

[Comment 4 Martin von Gagern 2013-07-29 18:44:06 UTC]

The file wasn't extracted from the archive. One solution would be adding src/corelib/global to the QT4_EXTRACT_DIRECTORIES variable. Another would be tweaking the build system to use the file from dev-qt/qtcore (installed in /usr/include/qt4/Qt/qglobal.h and /usr/include/qt4/QtCore/qglobal.h), or copy that file.

Since the former is easier, and closer to what upstream does, that's the route I took locally. As a consequence, configure worked all right, but compile failed:

In file included from qpixeltool.h:45:0,
                 from qpixeltool.cpp:42:
../../include/QtGui/qwidget.h:1:42: fatal error: ../../src/gui/kernel/qwidget.h: No such file or directoryIn file included from qpixeltool.h:45:0,
                 from main.cpp:42:
../../include/QtGui/qwidget.h:1:42: fatal error: ../../src/gui/kernel/qwidget.h: No such file or directory

Not good. So it seems my approach might have been the wrong one. On the other hand, I can't see a part of qt4-build.eclass which would take care of linking to already installed headers instead of those expected in the source tree. After adding src/gui/kernel just to end up with the next missing file, I decided to add all of src to that variable, as I saw it in qtgui-4.8.5.ebuild. With that, pixeltool finally emerges.

src/corelib and src/gui should be enough... can you confirm that?

Confirmed to compile here.

Confirmed here as well... adding src/corelib and src/gui to QT4_EXTRACT_DIRECTORIES in pixeltool-4.8.5.ebuild makes pixeltool compile properly.

Thanks. Fixed in cvs.
