I need help with this PKGBUILD (qt problem)

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/freec … e/PKGBUILD

That is the PKGBUILD, look for this package: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11636

Notice this lines

export QTDIR=/opt/qt
export QMAKESPEC=$QTDIR/mkspecs/linux-g++
export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/qt/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

I see this is wrong.
First line should be:

export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt

But I dont understand 3rd and 4th line.

Anyway, pkgbuild does not work.
Can you please help me with this.

The 3rd and 4th line just set your PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH  env variable to be what they originally were but with the added values of QTDIR and /opt/qt/lib/pkgconfig respectively.

Re: I need help with this PKGBUILD (qt problem)

Well, um -- it works here.  At least I was able to build a package using the stock PKGBUILD

Can you elaborate on what is failing?

/opt/qt was the place used by Qt version 3. Maybe that package must specify the dependency on qt3 instead of just qt. Who haves qt3 installed will be able to compile without problems.

Re: I need help with this PKGBUILD (qt problem)

As a matter of fact, I do have Qt3 installed.  That is probably why it built for me.

Anyone going to post a bug to the AUR, or shall I?

Re: I need help with this PKGBUILD (qt problem)

Ok, I tried with qt3 also. It works.
Thank you.
