Description Kevin Kofler 2017-03-16 03:04:40 UTC
Description of problem:

This revision in KDevelop 5.0.4:
https://cgit.kde.org/kdevelop.git/commit/?id=85957712044d7a91d3ee4eec4012c333cd7fe70e
changes the qmake search order to: qmake, qmake-qt5, qmake-qt4. This will make it find the Qt 3 qmake from qt3-devel, which is not what we want.

The search order in KDevelop 5.0.3 was also wrong (qmake-qt4, qmake-qt5, qmake). The correct search order is qmake-qt5, qmake-qt4, qmake.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kdevelop-5.0.4-3.fc25

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install qt3-devel and kdevelop.
2. Look at the qmake that gets picked up by default.

Actual results:
It finds the qmake from Qt 3.

Expected results:
It finds the qmake from Qt 5.

Additional info:
Also reported upstream: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=377672

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2017-03-16 12:11:38 UTC
Maybe it's time to consider not putting 'qmake' into $PATH by default for qt3 too.

Adjusting all qt3-related packages for that should be relatively easy.

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2017-03-16 13:40:46 UTC
Note: I'm not suggesting that adjusting qt3 packaging is a fix here, I do agree kdevelop should probably consider qmake-qt5 over qmake.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 19:25:21 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 10:44:43 UTC
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
