Bug 171664 – make xconfig - unable to find the QT installation

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Coornaert David 2007-03-21 11:02:17 UTC]

gentoo 2006.1 on athlon-xp
can't "make xconfig " for configuring kernel
it complains qt dev isn't there
tried all qt3-4-embed etc...
  CHECK   qt
*
* 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.
*
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `scripts/kconfig/.tmp_qtcheck', needed by `scripts/kconfig/qconf.o'.  Stop.
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2




Reproducible: Always




It's really boring, 
menuconfig works, gconfig too,
I repeated this on two different machines
tried many combinations of USE,
can't find what is missing


Ask me for details

What Qt versions do you have installed, and what is QTDIR set to?

First of all thanks for your support:
as said earlier,
I tried this on athlon-xp and  on sempron setups
I've tried with default 4.2.2 qt but it fails
I then fiddled with USEs (ufed) to enable qt3  or/and static and/or embedded qt...many combos...if not all ; followed by emerge -uDN world and etc

there's mysteriously *no* QTDIR env var,
although qt4.2.2 was emerged
there's *no* /usr/qt directory
but there's a /usr/lib64/qt4 directory (on the sempron one, I have no access to the athlon for the moment, I'll check later)
also /usr/share/qt4,
and /usr/include/qt4

I've done so many emerges that I turn sick of it

I've just emerged with uses qt4 and qt3support :
USE="admin apache2 mmxext mysql nptlonly php qt3support threads tk truetype 
     unicode xml -alsa -isdnlog -midi -mp3 -mpeg -qt3" 
but still no QTDIR env var

*lost* and *puzzled*

I don't understand why emerge --info I posted
pretends that many goofy use flags
the one I asked are stated above

On older gentoos I manage I have things such as qtconf, qtdemo...(in path)
on these two recent one, I only have qt3to4 . 
If that helps

Well, you need qt-3* for this, that's about it. ;)

[Comment 6 Coornaert David 2007-03-23 08:00:33 UTC]

You're right..that was it
I honestly thought that use=qt3support would do it within qt4
but indeed emerge =qt-3* fixed it
on the sempron at least
still a trouble on the athlon-xp, but that must come from the mess
caused by all my tests
