Description Sysoltsev Slawa 2002-11-25 11:41:58 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)

Description of problem:
Compiling quanta-3 on my system with Intel compiler I received such 
message 
during build:

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0.3) (library qt-mt) not 
found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support!
error: Bad exit status from /home/users/compiler/tc_5/WORK_DIR/tmp/rpm-tmp.386 
(%build)


But I have Qt3 installed so I began investigating.
Looking to config.log I realized that configure tried to compile test case 
which uses Qt with '-ansi -pedantic' options. But this is incorrect! Qt library 
uses STL library and gcc3.2 STL library contain GNU extensions: 
see /usr/include/c++/3.2/bits/stl_alloc.h(928) (where actually error is emitted 
with -ansi) and comment above:
  // Inhibit implicit instantiations for required instantiations,
  // which are defined via explicit instantiations elsewhere.
  // NB: This syntax is a GNU extension.

This syntax (I mean 'extern template') isn't described in ANSI C++ specification
(see paragraph 14.7.2 - Explicit instantiation) and therefore isn't allowed 
when -ansi specified in compiler command line.
GNU compiler doesn't STRICT ANSI check so code passes succesfully, but strict 
compiler will emit error. To increase Red Hat Linux portability you shouldn't 
use '-ansi -pedantic' with STL and hence Qt.


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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I'm afraid you won't be able to reproduce bug because you haven't compiler I 
use.
	

Actual Results:  Compilation error.


Expected Results:  Succesfully built package.


Additional info:

I'll attach the patch which removes '-ansi -pedantic' from command line.

it's fixed in 3.1.3. Thanks for your report
