Strange error compiling Qt 3.0.2


Message 1 in thread

Hi all,

i downloaded Qt 3.0.2 from trolltech ftp site yesterday. After unpacking
it in /usr/local/qt i ran ./configure with options (gif, system-zlib,
png and jpeg) but the top Makefile is empty.

i have no other qt installed on my Debian potato r4. Does anyone had the
same problem ? Or does anyone have a clue to make me find out the problem
?

Thanks in advance,

best regards,

ps: QTDIR variable is ok as in used 3.0.1 before.

For now, i used Makefiles created in src,examples,tools,... subdirs to
compile Qt, hoping i did not miss anything.

The top level Makefile is not empty for me.
Start from scratch and see if it helps.

Hi Dimitri,

i did as you said and found a part of the problem, i had no devel package
for gif installed. As i included gif support, configure did not create
correctly the top Makefile.

thanks very much, regards

What is the "devel package for gif"? Qt does not need anything like
this as far as I know.

FYI: some linux distributions install e.g. the gif shared libraries in a 
separate package than so-called "-devel" packages, that contain everything 
you need to actually compile your own app with that library (as opposed to 
simply use the library from an app like, say, GIMP, or an already compiled Qt 
library.) 

Hence I guess one need to have the headers installed.

Qt does not needed any such package or headers.
