I've just looked at google about this, and it appears that all the linguist dependencies are other parts of qt5. If you omit recommended dependencies, that is probably the reason why this did not get built (from a build where it _did_ get built, 'inguist' does not appear until 38% of the way through the log from a -jN build, so identifying what prevented it might not be easy). As a reminder: 1. Once you can build things reliably, deviation is ok, but as Bruce reminded me this week in a different context - if it breaks, I/you get to keep the pieces. 2. Sometimes recommended means "upstream expects this, but you can work around it" and in a few of those cases we show optional switches to work around it. But in other cases omitting a dep reduces the usefulness - I suspect this is one of these cases, but I have no idea which missing dependency causes it. 3. I build qt5 late, almost at the end of my normal desktop, so I usually have most of the recommended deps - I think I omit libmng, and maybe my gst-plugins-base lacks the QtMultimedia backend, but all the rest are normally present (I now drop Wayland into all of my builds, and use it in Mesa, in case I want to try building kf5 even though I've not had plasma working in ages). Good luck, kf5 seems to work for some people but not others. When I last looked at a kde distro (OpenSuse) a lot of their packages were still kde4 so although that worked better than my recent builds (e.g. for me konqueror always crashes trying to render slashdot.org) it wasn't a lot of help in working out where BLFS might have deficiencies. ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
