Last weekend I sucessfully installed the testing version of Debian (etch). I had some installation issues with beta 2, so I used the daily build. The Qt4 packages and scons were both available from the testing repositories.
To my delight and surprise, Quackle 0.92 compiled just fine.

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.
