[solved] 3.9.9: Compilation error (openSUSE 11.x)

[coogor]

Hi,

just transferred the new source to the openSUSE Build Service, and received some compilation errors.

Code: Select all

GUI/ui_CurveDrawerDialog.h:26:22: fatal error: qwt_plot.h: No such file or directory

Are there any new dependencies or libraries that need to be included?
Thanks

Hi,
Sorry, I forgot the announcement on the site : from now the QWT library is needed (version 5 ok, version 6 not tested).
It's easy to compile it, but there is probably a package for your distribution.
http://qwt.sourceforge.net/

Thanks for the hint... but I'm still struggeling. I have included qwt-devel-5.2.1 (which contains the file qwt_plot.h )and libqwt, but the error still occurs in the same place.

I would love to attach the error log, but neither .txt, nor .log or no extention are allowed

Any idea?

Hi,
Replace the path to your qwt installation directory (where is qwt_plot.h), line 30 the file src/zyGrib.pro

Code: Select all

INCLUDEPATH += /usr/include/qwt-qt4/

and the name of the linked library in your distribution (line 31)

Code: Select all

LIBS += -lqwt-qt4

If you don't know exactly what to write here, you should ask a forum of openSUZE developpers (it's not a zyGrib problem)... and give here the answer for other openSuse users.

For openSuSE, the settings need to be:

Code: Select all

INCLUDEPATH += /usr/include/qwt/
LIBS += -lqwt

For what reason did you relocate them into the qwt-qt4 directory? I can't spot his in the original source file of qwt. If you intend to keep it like this, I need to find a way to override it in the .spec file.

EDIT: Build for 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 is done.

Thank you for the information.

A better question would be: why the library path are they not standardized between different linux distribution ?

There are only 2 short lines to update in the .pro file, this is not an insurmountable job. Or find a way to easily recognize opensuse from qmake.

As I checked the file from the qwt-project, it seems that Ubuntu is going their own way - dont ask me why, maybe because it is a Gnome-distribution

I have chosen the lazy way: Create a patchfile and activate the %patch tag in the spec file. 3.9.9.1 is build that way.

Ubuntu library path are the same than debian, and other debian-like distributions.

Sorry, I do not know the solution really satisfactory and universal.

...that may be the problem, no idea. As said, on the files from http://qwt.sourceforge.net/ I could not find any *-qt4

adding a patch file is a quite common approach, it works for openSUSE and probably for other (RPM) distributions - did not try Fedora yet.
