Compiling Qt-3.2.1 from source
 

I am trying to compile Qt-3.2.1 with the flag -with-sql-mysql but I get the following error:

I am specifically trying to compile the QMYSQL3 driver. Qt already is installed on my system but the original install did not make this driver (I think).

Now I have a question:

Doesnt the source package already contain everything I need? Header and development packages are for package systems, right?

My system is an LFS 5. I have painstakingly compiled and installed everything as the book says with very few deviations. Any suggestions? I want to be able to use MythTV on my box and it needs the QMYSQL3 driver. So really the driver is all that I
want to compile.

Thanks.

Well maybe no one else really tries to compile Qt from source (or at least most are luckier than I :) anyway....

I had to set -I/path/to/includes/mysql and -L/path/to/lib/mysql in order to overcome the problem above.

(when doing ./configure I appended the two paths ... and the first is -I as in includes not an L ... anyway, if you are like me this is ALL new territory)

Then I had another problem. I got an error about a mysql library not being found...looking into the error message I saw that for some reason the library path from above was not being used so I just make a symbolic link to the lib file. I made the symbolic link in the direcory that was being searched (it was the library directory in the source code for QT).

Funky errors. I hope that I can get Myth to run after all of this.
