| [ home --> linux --> redhat ] |
Some minor problems do exist though (apart from the errors in the installation program, resulting in a mix of english and french messages). After installing RedHat 5.1 (kernel 2.0.34) I downloaded Source RPMS for Qt and KDE.
For some reason, the gcc compiler included with RedHat 5.1 has been compiled without C++ support. The installation manual correctly states that g++ should be used instead of gcc, so Makefiles should be changed accordingly.
This caused me some problems with the installation of Qt: the Makefiles are rewritten by the make linux-gcc-shared target. As I was using the 'official' rpm method (rpm -ivh package, rpm -bb), my changes to the Makefile were overwritten each and every time (the BUILD directory is apparently regenerated).
The only solution I could think of at that time, was to modify the %build% section in the /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/qt-1.33.spec file (around line 27). This way, I could copy a modified Makefile (also stored in the SPECS directory) over the installed version before make linux-gcc-shared is invoked.
After this brief struggle with the Qt source RPM, I proceeded with the KDE packages. They use GNU AutoConf, and seem to detect g++ automatically.
