thanks for the reply. I applied the changes you suggested and the install now runs to the point where I get the error:
mv: rename /sw/src/fink.build/root-qt4-x11-4.3.2-1021/sw/lib/qt4-x11/plugins/codecs to /sw/src/fink.build/root-qt4-x11-core-shlibs-4.3.2-1021/sw/lib/qt4-x11/plugins/codecs: No such file or directory I tried creating this directory to see if the install would work. However, the directory must get deleted in the script because it disappeared. I then removed the line that creates it from the script and the install "succeeded" and I managed to build a couple of Qt examples. No doubt the absence of the codecs would have some later consequence. For now, I have finished what I needed to do and am using the Mac OS version of Qt with xcode and this seems to work well. thank you both for your help Jean-François Mertens-3 wrote: > > This rings a bell .. :) Cf my msg "Re: Build issue on attempting to > update lyx-qt to new upstream version" > on fink-devel, 12/01/07 19:01 , suggesting to add to the info file : > 1) > export CPATH=%p/include > as first line in the CompileScript > 2) > perl -pi -e 's,char [*]inp,const $&,' config.tests/unix/gnu-libiconv/ > gnu-libiconv.cpp > as last line of the patchscript > > > On 01 Jan 2008, at 13:02, alexor wrote: > >> I don't know if this helps but I renamed /usr/include/iconv.h to >> iconv.xxx >> to make sure that it didn't get picked up > No longer needed because of (1) above >> This time when I ran fink >> reinstall qt4-x11 it ran for a very long time and seemed to get to >> a "make >> install" stage.
