• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Patched ebuild - properly handling non-x86 arches.

After minor patching, the dev-util/qtcreator builds and runs smoothly on ~arm.

It requires patching the 3rdparty included botan tree to ensure that the cryptographic library works on non-x86 hardware - the problem should have been fixed by the upstream, however, in the meantime, the patch works. 

It should work on all Little Endian non-x86 architectures.

And the actual qt-creator patch.

I guess the patch is already included in the upstream repo?

[Comment 3 Tomasz Mloduchowski 2013-02-06 23:54:18 UTC]

I don't think the patch in included in the upstream.. (actually finding the qt-creator upstream.. is a good question)

I just wrote it for my own use, hopefully it can be useful for someone else too.

Please send your patch upstream then.

No, to submit patches you MUST use https://codereview.qt-project.org/

I'd prefer if they provided a way to use system botan though...

What's the point of the existing bug-tracking system then? :/

[Comment 7 Davide Pesavento (RETIRED) 2013-02-17 10:22:29 UTC]

Does =dev-libs/botan-1.10* work on arm? If so, we should keyword it and force the usage of system botan on arm instead of patching qt-creator's internal copy.

[Comment 8 Davide Pesavento (RETIRED) 2013-03-08 09:50:15 UTC]

>=qt-creator-2.7.0_rc always uses the system botan library (already keyworded on arm), therefore no patching is necessary anymore.

[Comment 9 Davide Pesavento (RETIRED) 2013-03-08 09:55:46 UTC]

@arm: please verify that it works and add ~arm keyword.

[Comment 10 Sergey Popov 2013-03-23 12:33:13 UTC]

Can not test it on arm, because of bug 460886

[Comment 11 Sergey Popov 2013-04-08 17:01:14 UTC]

Added ~arm to dev-qt/qtdemo-4.8.4 cause it's dependency of dev-qt/qt-creator

Little note: trying to call Help from main menu(or calling Examples) lead to Segmentation fault. Other things seems to be OK.

+  08 Apr 2013; Sergey Popov <[e-mail]> qt-creator-2.7.0.ebuild:
+  Add ~arm keyword, wrt bug #454916
