Description Dale Carstensen 2006-08-30 09:49:22 UTC

I suppose there's a good chance I'm mis-filing this under genkernel
when it's really something else, for instance, kernel.  I'm finding
it difficult to find the right choices in the bugzilla select/option
tags.  And at the bottom of the genkernel output, there's a caution
against just that, filing a kernel bug under genkernel.  But I just
can't help myself, I think maybe it's really genkernel somehow, I
don't know why.

See bug 145551 for emerge --info output.

Summary says it all, but here's a whole paragraph from the genkernel output:

* Unable to find the QT installation. Please make sure that
* the QT development package is correctly installed and
* either install pkg-config or set the QTDIR environment
* variable to the correct location.

And there's an attachment coming with the output of equery files qt.

I may have manually unmasked x11-libs/qt-4.1.4, maybe that's the problem.

Here's the output of equery list -p qt

output from equery files qt

genkernel literally passes it on to the kernel, so reassigning it there...

Comment 3 Dale Carstensen 2006-08-31 14:18:11 UTC

Since the prior genkernel run ended up turning off netfilter somehow,
and the NATed hosts can't communicate, I ran another today.  And, guess
what, I accidentally used --xconfig instead of --gconfig, and the window
came up.  Same qt stuff, though, I think.  I did update libX11 in between,
in fact all of these:

1157040883:  ::: completed emerge (1 of 35) x11-misc/util-macros-1.1.0 to /
1157040900:  ::: completed emerge (2 of 35) x11-proto/kbproto-1.0.3 to /
1157040922:  ::: completed emerge (3 of 35) x11-proto/xproto-7.0.7 to /
1157040966:  ::: completed emerge (4 of 35) x11-libs/libXau-1.0.2 to /
1157041463:  ::: completed emerge (5 of 35) x11-libs/libX11-1.0.3 to /
1157041553:  ::: completed emerge (6 of 35) media-libs/libpng-1.2.12-r1 to /

And I'm now running the 2.6.17 I built before, after guessing how to
finish the boot (run udevstart instead of mdev -s.)

So I don't know what fixed it, but --xconfig no longer complains about
the QT existence/version/whatever.

Now to discover why building gxine gets an error compiling key_events.c,
complaining that XML_ESCAPE_NO_QUOTE is not defined when clearly it is
defined in /usr/include/xine/xmlparser.h, which key_events.c includes!

ok, marking fixed

Comment 5 gilberg 2009-04-23 04:47:47 UTC

[offtop] my english is bad))[/offtop]

For fix this bug, run
# echo $QTDIR

if it's empty, then run
# export QTDIR="/usr/qt/3"

and run
# make xconfig

But you can get this message:

# LANG=POSIX make xconfig
scripts/kconfig/qconf arch/x86/Kconfig
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

qconf: cannot connect to X server :0
make[1]: *** [xconfig] Error 1
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2

Because of this, so I run xconfig
$ sudo make xconfig
