I've tried to install Quackle 0.92 on both Fedora Core 5 and on Suse 10.1 but so far without success. I'm wondering if anyone can spot what I'm failing to do or doing wrong and is kind enough to set me right.
Quackle requires SCons and Qt4. For Fedora Core 5, I've installed these from the Extras repository. For Suse 10.1, unable to find RPMs designed for Suse, I've attempted to install SCons and Qt4 from tarballs. On the assumption that SCons and Qt4 should now be correctly installed in Fedora Core 5, given that I've installed the RPMs, I'd like to concentrate on getting Quackle working on Fedora Core 5. I have made a quackle-0.92 directory out of the tarball. It's located in /tmp. In a terminal, as root, whilst in that directory, I enter scons r=1 and appear to get a successful result: ... done building targets. I cd to /tmp/quackle-0.92/quackleio/ and enter qmake I'm immediately returned to the # prompt, with no scrolling lines of code appearing. I don't recall now if anything more substantial visibly happened the first time I tried this. I enter make I get a lot of scrolling lines indicating a lot of errors. Notably: error: QtCore: No such file or directory ... error: QString: No such file or directory. This makes me think that I haven't done all that's necessary to make the prerequisite Qt4 available to Quackle. I don't know if there's an element which isn't there at all or if Quackle's make file is not looking in the right place for it. I've installed all the qt4-4.1.3-8.fc5.i386 RPMs available in the Fedora Core 5 Extras repository, in case a Qt component that is needed is not in the main Qt GUI toolkit package, qt4-4.1.3-8.fc5.i386, but this hasn't solved the problem. I presume the Qt Core components should be in the Qt GUI toolkit package. It would be nice if Quackle could be installed under Linux by simply installing packages but I appreciate that there is plenty of worthwhile development work to be done in improving functionality and that making installation simple may not be a priority. I note that someone is making an effort to produce a Quackle package for Debian Linux: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=367500 I note from http://www.scons.org/doc/HTML/scons-user/x124.html that I can get scons packages for Debian and see from http://lists.agnula.org/pipermail/users/2006-March/010527.html that Qt4 packages are also available for Debian, though the contents of that posting don't fill me with confidence that I'd have any more luck trying to get Quackle to work under Debian. ------------------------ Yahoo!
