[Kst] Re: link step failing with qmake

[Barth Netterfield]

Hi Nadine,

Are you really using openSuse 10.2?  That is really really old (2006),
long out of support, and may be the source of some of the troubles.
If you are using it, is there any reason you can't upgrade to
something new?

i) Have you installed qt 4.7?  Is it in /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.3?

ii) make sure there are no old kst files kicking around:
root at ice kst#  rm /usr/lib/libkst2*
root at ice kst#  rm /usr/lib/kst/*
root at ice kst#  rm /usr/local/lib/libkst2*
root at ice kst#  rm /usr/local/lib/kst/*

iii) make sure that your build directory is empty (or gone)
root at ice kst#  rm -rR ./build

iv) make sure that you are using the correct versions of qmake, etc
root at ice kst#  qmake -v
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.7.0 in /usr/lib

root at ice kst# moc -v
Qt Meta Object Compiler version 62 (Qt 4.7.0)

The version should be >= 4.5.0 (ie, not 3.x, which is default for openSuse 10.2)

Then try again.  Let me know how things turn out.

In qtcreator, under Tools/Options/Qt4, it has for both auto-detected and manual, the version of Qt I want it to use; /usr/local/Trolltech/QT-4.7.3/bin/qmake .  It bothers me that there is no place to put where the includes are for QT-4.7.3, since there is another qt version on this system.
