Okular building help request

[Jonathan Schultz]

Dear Hannah,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I tend to be online somewhat 
sporadically and in a lonely timezone (UTC +11) so I prefer asynchronous 
communication. That said, I will try sitting on IRC when I can to see 
what happens.

In regard to your suggestions, I found that any kind of 'emerge qtbase' 
fell over pretty much immediately with a complaint about a missing 
Makefile. So here is what I did (starting from a completely fresh 
installation), with links to the resulting log files. I hope someone can 
decode these messages - from what I can see everything looks normal 
enough until a line stating that the build has failed. As for the patch 
errors I was getting previously - I have no idea what happened to them.

 > emerge -vvv qt 2>&1 > emerge.qt.log

 > emerge -vvv qtbase --make 2>&1 > emerge.qtbase.log

https://www.dropbox.com/s/gga4rh7mwes4kav/emerge.qtbase.log

 > emerge -vvv --make qtbase 2>&1 > emerge.qtbase.log

Cheers,
Jonathan
