cannot install qtbase (separate issue) about qtbase HOT 14 CLOSED

Thanks for making a new issue. Please don't worry about any of the Q_WS symbols except for Q_WS_X11, because the other ones are supposed to fail for your platform. The Q_WS_X11 fails, because it can't find qglobals.h, because the necessary include path -I/usr/include/qt4 is not on the compiler command line. Not sure why cmake is making that mistake.

Update: I installed libsmokeqt4-dev and smoke-dev-tools, along with adding

include_directories("/usr/include/qt4") 

to CMakeLists.txt in kdebindings. Didn't help.

Dammit, I didn't mean to close this bug. Can't figure out how to un-do it.

from qtbase.

You shouldn't need to install any smoke packages. That will likely only cause conflicts, so I would just get rid of them. Also, the include_directories line would not help. This is an issue with the way cmake is checking for Qt. My guess is that it is failing to find qmake. As far as I can tell, qmake needs to be on your PATH. So please try which qmake to see if it's there. And I managed to reopen the issue.

D'oh!

ARGH I CLOSED THE DAMNED THING AGAIN!!!!!

Damn you Github!

from qtbase.

I sent an email to GitHub support requesting anti-knucklehead features in Issues, so that project owners don't have to deal with knobs like me. Lo siento

from qtbase.

Yes the "Comment and Close" has almost got me a couple of times. Anyway, I wonder what happens if you run qmake -query QT_INSTALL_HEADERS?

from qtbase.

tim@tims-x200s:~/qtbase$ qmake -query QT_INSTALL_HEADERS
/opt/qtsdk-2010.05/qt/include

That's kind of not very cool. Maybe this is what's hosing everything. I think I tried to build RStudio at one point. Clearly, Vim is jealous, and showing its displeasure.

Thanks for the tip, I think I have a good idea how to solve this now!

[Not Closing]

from qtbase.

I installed the Qt SDK from TrollTech, re-pulled the repo for qtbase, and now it seems to be working fine.

Also the GitHub people said they're working on the Comment and Facepalm button so that is also cool.

Thanks much for your help and patience. It's nontrivial to build all the pre-requisites for visnab...

[Now actually closing the bug on purpose!]

from qtbase.

Great. Do you have a list of Ubuntu packages that you needed to install? On my Gentoo box it's just qt-core and qt-gui.

from qtbase.

I had to install the Qt Mobile package so that the qtMultiMedia extensions were in there. I can try uninstalling the TrollTech Qt SDK and see what happens... but not right now :-)

from qtbase.

Ok. It shouldn't depend on qt-multimedia though. Might emit some messages about not having it, but it should still work.

from qtbase.

Actually it failed outright. I couldn't figure out why, so I just compiled the beta mobile/multimedia libraries from the Qt site and afterwards it was fine. Now I can plot Circos-like plots in VisNAB, which was the point of the exercise :-)
