Seems that mkvtoolnix expects the Qt5 library despite not having any X/GUI flags enabled: hecking for moc... /usr/lib64/qt5/bin/moc checking for rcc... /usr/lib64/qt5/bin/rcc checking for uic... no checking for Qt 5... no: could not find the uic executable configure: error: The Qt library is required for building MKVToolNix.

Created attachment 779357 [details, diff] overly simple patch to remove uic requirement I don't know if this helps any, but this is what I'm using to patch out the requirement. UIC isn't ever actually used in a command-line build.

From bug 836561: (In reply to Andreas Sturmlechner from comment #8) > Turns out this is just the gui switch being broken apparently. > > Package otherwise (somewhat) does okay detecting qtbindir, but in this > tinderbox run, qtwidgets is requested even though IUSE=-gui is set. > > PS: It seems 9999 ebuild is missing latest changes. So, let's revisit what happened here, as I try to remember what I did at the time. Qt really is unconditionally needed (from 59.0.0 release notes); ``` * The Qt library is now required for building all applications, even the command-line ones, as they use Qt's MIME type detection capabilities. In turn this means that you cannot disable the Qt usage anymore; either Qt5 or Qt 6 is required. ``` The unconditional qtcore dependency therefore seems correct, as does the rest of the ebuild in how it looks. But asturm points out that it's looking for qtwidgets (which provides 'uic') unconditionally, ignoring USE=gui. It seems like Duane's fix is almost it -- but we should just shift it so that it searches conditionally based on --enable-gui, rather than dropping the check entirely.

Qt (just qtcore) itself is *always* needed to build mkvtoolnix (it's used for e.g. MIME type detection since 59.0.0), but the rest of Qt (like qtwidgets) is only needed for the GUI build. The build system incorrectly unconditionally checks for UIC. We fix it here to only check for it when doing a GUI build.
