Description Frank Büttner 2006-05-26 13:06:18 EDT

You have create package where it is not possible to build apps using Qt4.
When I use the orginal packe from TT all works fine. When using your package it
is not posible to compile apps. Because you have modifed the linker paramter.
And so linking fails at FC4 with /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXi

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2006-05-26 13:23:57 EDT

Looks like -lXi needs to be stripped from the output of
pkgconfig --libs QtGui

Comment 2 Frank Büttner 2006-05-26 13:33:02 EDT

No that is not the problem. You Qt packe search in the wrong place for the lib.
When I use my own QT build the lib Xi will be linked correct.

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2006-05-26 13:44:48 EDT

Either solution works, but I prefer stripping the extra lib baggage.

Try (as root),
sed -i -e "s|-lXi ||g" /usr/lib/qt4/lib/*.pc 
and you should be fine.

Comment 4 Frank Büttner 2006-05-26 13:47:20 EDT

So I have found that the error you must include the libdir for the X11R6 libs.
-L/usr/X11R6/lib is missing in your qt compiler profile

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2006-05-26 13:55:55 EDT

I'm planning on putting -L/usr/X11R6/lib back (to be safe(r)), and remove -lXi.

Comment 6 Frank Büttner 2006-05-26 14:04:59 EDT

no that will be wrong -lXi and -L/usr/X11R6/lib is needed.

Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2006-05-26 16:35:57 EDT

new build queue'd, to appear soon in a repo near you...
