Bug 308115 – PyQt4-4.7 fails to compile with 'failed to fix rpath issues'

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Philip Webb 2010-03-06 21:23:05 UTC]

PyQt4-4.7 fails to compile while creating pyqtconfig.py .
It reports : "cannot access w_qpy*.pro: No such file or directory"
& "can't read QtDesigner/Makefile: No such file or directory".
I will attach the requested files separately.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. 'emerge PyQt'
2. wait briefly
3. read error msgs

Actual Results:  
emerge failed

Expected Results:  
emerge should succeed

The problem seems to be that while '--enable=QtGui --enable=QtDesigner'
is among configure options,
configure tests decide that those modules should not be built.

Could you check why ?

[Comment 6 Philip Webb 2010-03-06 23:29:28 UTC]

I hope you don't mean me (smile): I have no idea how to check into configure options or tests.  Hopefully, there is a dev who can help.

No, I meant the other guy with your problem...
Of course I mean you - it fails for you, so you're the only
one who can tell, what's your problem is, otherwise this will head
straight into WORKSFORME.

It seems you need to pass '--verbose' to configure.py options,
at least that much I can tell looking at PyQt4 docs.

[Comment 8 Philip Webb 2010-03-07 00:54:54 UTC]

So just tell me how to do that & I'll test it for you.
Where are "configure.py options" & how do I pass '--verbose' to them ?
What I see is :

  root:567 ~> emerge -pv PyQt4
  ...
  [ebuild     U ] dev-python/PyQt4-4.7 [4.6.2] USE="X -assistant dbus -debug -doc -examples kde -multimedia% opengl -phonon sql svg webkit -xmlpatterns"

I don't see anything resembling "--verbose".

[Comment 9 Philip Webb 2010-03-07 15:09:21 UTC]

I looked into the .../work/... dirs & ran 'python2.6 configure.py --verbose'
(there are 2 subdirs & I did the same in each with the same result).
Then I ran 'make' & eventually reached an error (same in each subdir):
I will attach the final lines of the make output.

In Comment 5 , you refer to the configure tests for QtGui QtDesigner .
the .cpp test pgms are very short :

cfgtest_QtDesigner.cpp :

#include <QExtensionFactory>

int main(int, char **)
{
    new QExtensionFactory();
}

cfgtest_QtGui.cpp :

#include <qwidget.h>

int main(int, char **)
{
    new QWidget();
}

Please remember that I'm a user, not a developer: I can investigate & test
as much as you need, but you have to give me fairly precise instructions.

I don't consider myself a programmer either.
What's the output of 'emerge -1pv qt-core qt-gui' ?

[Comment 12 Philip Webb 2010-03-07 17:41:53 UTC]

root:590 ~> emerge -1pv qt-core qt-gui

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Me not likey that output - seems you've managed somehow to circumvent
the requirement that 'glib' useflag setting in qt-gui should match 
one for qt-core. Same for exceptions.
Also, did you have any *good* reason to disable 'exceptions'
in the first place.
I'd rebuild all of qt splits to make sure nothing else is messed up.

[Comment 14 Davide Pesavento (RETIRED) 2010-03-07 21:58:28 UTC]

Philip, it appears that you have a non-working QtGui library... somehow you managed to screw up your Qt installation :P

Please re-emerge all x11-libs/qt-* packages you have currently installed.

[Comment 15 Philip Webb 2010-03-07 22:16:18 UTC]

Thanks to both commentators!

I remerged all 11 Qt pkgs with USE="exceptions glib"
& PyQt4 & kdelibs have compiled successfully.

This bug can be closed & I will comment separately on the other bug 308113 ,
which you can check, if you're still interested.
