Bug 680232

Description of problem:

Working under Qt Creator and trying to generate 32bit_x86 Qt application target on a 64bit_x86 linux platform (Fedora 14), the build process involved by/with Qt creator (qmake ?) has difficulties because having forcing "-spec linux-g++-32" mode in the build options under Qt Creator for the target application project :

Qt Creator / qmake generates & displays compilation error at build time, because requiring and not finding a "QtCore/qconfig-i386.h" include file So, on Fedora 14, I was not able till today to generate my app as 32bit target because the building process under Qt Creator is stopping at compiling step with error relative to not finding a required "QtCore/qconfig-i386.h" file.

So, what to do ? Where can be the incriminated missing "QtCore/qconfig-i386.h" include file ?
And, may be, this file is not the unique missing one...
I didn't find that "qconfig-i386.h" file at all, although I think my Qt Creator and Qt library & framework installations and setups are ok (standard installation and setup of relevant RPM/Fedora packages) on my 64bit linux platform (Fedora 14) that I'm keeping almost daily updated with Fedora online update system tool.

Very annonying.

Kind regards and many thanks in advance for any help/suggestion/solution.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

x86_64 Fedora 14 -> Qt 4.7.x, Qt Creator 2.0.94 based on Qt 4.7.0 (64bit)

rpm -qa | grep qt

=> why clicking on Qt Creator "about" menu is reporting "Qt Creator 2.0.94 based on Qt 4.7.0 (64bit)" while "qt-creator-2.1.0-4.rc1.fc14.x86_64" package seems to be installed ?

rpm -qa | grep glibc

How reproducible:

The simple "weathertrayicon" example application proposed in the "Advanced Qt Programming" book from M.Summerfield can be used to experiment (that is the example application I cannot build as 32bit mode on my x86_64 Fedora 14 platform if forcing the "-spec linux-g++-32" building mode).


Steps to Reproduce:
1. forcing the "-spec linux-g++-32" building mode for project being developped inside Qt Creator
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

Expected results:

no build warning, no build error ?


Additional info:

To not surcharge the description here, I can also propose to give links to 2 discussions I've had also about such problems on Ubuntu 10.10 platform (not exactly same problems, but in the same goal to build a 32bit x86 Qt app target) on separate forums and Qt bug reporting system, all fine details can be found in these discussions :

    * about Qt Creator / qmake for building and running 32bit Qt app on x86_64 Ubuntu 10.10 and/or Fedora 14

=> http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/3719/

    * about 32bit Qt app build error on x86_64 Fedora 14 with make/qmake under Qt Creator (and mix of problems on Ubuntu 10.10 & Fedora 14)

Did/Can someone have/reproduce same problems and even compare with other x86_64 linux distribs about that ?
