Compiling superkaramba on Fedora Core 3?


Ok, so I upgraded from RH9 to FC3 (clean install). Now I'm going through and adding things back in that I used to have in RH9. I downloaded superkaramba and tried to ./configure it but it complains about QT must be > 3.0.

So I figured that I didn't have the QT source, just the libs and so ./configure wasn't passing it's tests. So I downloaded qt-3.3.3-8 sources and pointed ./configure to the appropriate directory and it still failed.

So then I actually looked at the ./configure script to see what it was doing. Turns out the program it's trying to run as a test is complaining about "qconfig.h" and "qmodules.h" not being on my system.

But I checked the qt sources and low and behold those files are NOT included with the qt sources. So now that you are caught up with my situation :-) Here's my question:

1. Are the header files really not included with QT anymore? If so then I guess I have to modify the ./configure script myself?

2. Does anyone know of an RPM for FC3 I could use? I tried yum and apt but they couldn't find superkaramba.

3. Can I use a FC2 rpm? Is it that different that it would mess things up?

Thanks

Hmm...nevermind...I downloaded the FC2 RPM and it appears to work with FC3.

However, if anyone does find out the correct way to go about this issue, I'd love to hear it.

Thanks.

Well I think I figured it out $@%^&#!!!!!! It's friggin 2:00 am and it turns out that the two header files I was missing was because the qt-devel rpm includes them but the qt-src.rpm does not!?!?!? What gives...shouldn't those be the same? Is the devel rpm not basically the sources so you can develop / compile against? So why doesn't the plain src.rpm have the same files?

Anyway, hopefully this will help someone else out there that might have been having the same problem.

If you receive an error about QT must be QT > 3.0 and you've double checked all your paths (QTDIR, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc) and in config.log you see that it's complaining about "qconfig.h" and "qmodules.h" not found then you probably need to install the qt-devel rpm.
