Description of problem: I trie to build qt from sources Used call_configure function from build_script.sh resets LD_LIBRARY_PATH with own value. But this can hurt non-standart system functioning that uses LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point for some needed libraries (for example custom compiler, or some checkers, wrappers, etc). With voilating LD_LIBRARY_PATH system might stop functioning properly and build of qt shall fail. So got I. I use LD_LIBRARY_PATH for pointing on compiler libraries therefore with resetting LD_LIBRARY_PATH by call_configure my compiler stops working. Please change build_script.sh not to overwrite LD_LIBRARY_PATH but add to it, that would only increase Red Hat Linux portability. I'll attach the patch which does this change. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always on LD_LIBRARY_PATH dependent system Steps to Reproduce: 1. I am unsure you will get that error, but you may try to build qt by custom C/C++ compiler, for example by elder version of gcc, installing it to local directory with using LD_LIBRARY_PATH for pointing the path where its libraries lies. Or you may use Intel C/C++ compile for that, as I know it uses LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Actual results: Configuration error as compiler cannot work in changed environment Expected results: Succesfully built qt. Additional info:
Created attachment 90125 [details] Patch which changes build_script.sh not to violate LD_LIBRARY_PATH but add to it
the qt-3.1.1-7 should has this fix. Thanks
