I got this strange error in rebuilding qt-2.3.1-6 on a RH 7.1 devel host: It may be a byproduct of not having the requested static linked lib installed ... but the error is in the wrong place. Just a FYI Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 20:37:57 -0400 From: root <root@...> To: prospector+... Subject: ORCprospector 0.01-011017 ... -- qt qt-2.3.1-6.src.rpm qt qt-2.3.1-6.src.rpm /var/ftp/./pub/mirror/redhat/rawhide/SRPMS/qt-2.3.1-6.src.rpm ================================= ================================= error: Unclosed %if error: failed build dependencies: libmng-static is needed by qt-2.3.1-6 Description of Problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information:
The unclosed if is being injected by a bug in our build system (when the translation strings are merged in, a %if construct gets lost), and is harmless. This will be fixed in the next release. The requirement for libmng-static is genuine (a static library can't link to a shared library).
