Bug#797355: general: packages missing in reportbug list
Package: general
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable
Id like to report an issue with qmake that renders it unuasable and is an
upstream issue. qmake didnt used to do this.
What is worse is that qt4-qmake package, where qt4-qmake binary and qmake come
from is not in the list to accept reports. The qt4-dev-tools package does not
contain these files. Maybe it should.
And what about version 5?
The problem is as such:
you grab a coin wallet and want to compile from scratch.(feathercoin,fedoracon,
bitcoin,etc... all are on github)
The normal method used is qmake && make, and provided you have all of the
(simple) depends present on your system, the app will build itself.Most of
these projects provide a qt-creator project file.
Feathercoin source is a little broken right now.
As an alternate, assuming your environment is sane(and in most cases needs some
tweaking, there is little documentation on what to do here) you can use qt-
creator to build the app from the project file.
I have noticed recently that this can fail, either failing to create the
makefile correctly, or for other reasons I cant remember.
As I said, the normal method is to use qmake from the project file to make your
makefile, then make the app.
qmake is choking for some reason. It does not say why, but all of a sudden it
wants more, spews out some useless help options and refuses to make the files
for make to work.Im not supposed to give make ANY options. ITS JUST SUPPOSED TO
WORK.
On fedora this is complicated further by openssl being hobbled, and sorry bub,
but I need those curves.
What to do? This affects multiple Linux distros.
