Qt 3.0.3

[Brian Witowski]

Well, I thought I had Qt 3 istalled.  Without going into details, it did not
properly install.

So I pulled it out and tried again.  I un-tar'd it to /usr/local/ then
renamed the resulting dir qt.  Did ./configure -thread.  No errors.  Did
make.  No errors.  Did make install and get the following: (these are just
the last several lines)

1 cp: `/usr/local/qt/mkspecs/linux-g++/qplatformdefs.h' and
`/usr/local/qt/mkspecs/linux-2 g++/qplatformdefs.h' are the same file
3 make[2]: [install] Error 1 (ignored)
4 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/qt/qmake'
5 cd src/moc && make
6 make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/qt/src/moc'
7 make[2]: *** No rule to make target
`/usr/local/qt/mkspecs/linux-g++/qmake.conf',   needed by `Makefile'.  Stop.
8 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/qt/src/moc'
9 make[1]: *** [src-moc] Error 2
10 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/qt'
11 make: *** [install] Error 2

First off, the 1st line listed seems silly.  Why is it trying to copy a file
to itself?

Secondly, if I am reading line 7 correctly, it can't find
/usr/local/qt/mkspecs/linux-g++/qmake.conf.  Am I right?  And it makes
sense.  I checked /usr/local/qt/mkspecs/linux-g++ and it was empty.

If thats the case, here are some observations.  After doing ./configure and
before doing 'make', there were qmake.conf and qplatformdefs.h in every
platform folder in /usr/local/qt/mkspecs.  But after doing 'make' and before
doing 'make install', they were all gone (the files, not the folders).

Knowing this, I started from scratch and made copies of qmake.conf and
qplatformdefs.h and put them aside for save keeping. (after doing
./configure -thread)  Before doing 'make install', I put the files in
/usr/local/qt/mkspecs/linux-g++.  Then I ran 'make install'.  Got the same
errors.  But, when I looked at qmake.conf and qplatformdefs.h they both
contained error messages as the ONLY text.  qmake.conf contained
'Content-length: 61
Failed to open /usr/local/qt/mkspecs/linux-g++/qmake.conf :' and
qplatformdefs.h contained 'Content-length: 66
Failed to open /usr/local/qt/mkspecs/linux-g++/qplatformdefs.h :'.

Here are my /root/.profile entries:


QTDIR=/usr/local/qt
PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
MANPATH=$QTDIR/doc/man
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib
export QTDIR PATH MANPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH QMAKESPEC PATH

I've found nothing of use at Trolltech.  If anybody can shed any light on
this, I'd be grateful.
