[warpme]

Pablo,

I'm trying build minimyth r7529.
commit 7204 giving me following errors:

Code: Select all

I'm on ArchLinux. May You hint me where problem might be ?

thx in advance

Sorry, I do not have any idea.

What is on line 205 of file /home/piotro/.minimyth/minimyth.conf.mk?

Sorry for lack of this info in oryginal post:

Lines in question are:

Code: Select all

 # Get rid of Qt environment variables
$(foreach var, $(shell set | grep '^QMAKE' | sed 's%=.*$$%%'), $(eval $(var) :=))
$(foreach var, $(shell set | grep '^QMAKE' | sed 's%=.*$$%%'), $(eval unexport $(var)))
$(foreach var, $(shell set | grep '^QT' | sed 's%=.*$$%%'), $(eval $(var) :=))
$(foreach var, $(shell set | grep '^QT' | sed 's%=.*$$%%'), $(eval unexport $(var)))

same problem here with latest code. Using centos 5.
Warpme, did you find any solution to this?

[m_kane]

I tried this with Opensuse 11.1 and same results.
There must be something wrong with build system

edit:

I commented out last four lines.. now building. Hope it finishes ok.

[Pablo]

Odd. What shell (bash, dash, ash, csh, etc) are you using?

[m_kane]

Odd. What shell (bash, dash, ash, csh, etc) are you using?

I think bash in both machines.

[Pablo]

This is odd as I am building on CentOS 5 as well.

[m_kane]

What those lines actually do? Can I build without them?

The goal of those lines it to make sure that your environment does not have any Qt related environment variables that might cause MiniMyth packages to not build/link according to MiniMyth's Qt version. In most cases, there are no Qt environment variables set. As a result, in most cases, these lines are not needed. Personally, I do not need them on either my CentOS 5 or Fedora 14 build systems.
