RH9, Myth .8 compile issues

May 14, 2003, 3:15 PM

Post #1 of 8 (1462 views)

I have just downloaded and attempted to install .8 of Myth on my RH9 box.
It gets part way through the build then errors out with this:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt-mt
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [libmyth-0.8.so.0.8.0] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/mythtv-0.8/libs/libmyth'
make[1]: *** [sub-libmyth] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/mythtv-0.8/libs'
make: *** [sub-libs] Error 2

Can anyone shed some light on what my issue is? Thanks.

-Jeff

looks like you're missing some QT libraries... or (as I did) don't
have the QTDIR environment variable set properly:

export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-3.1

(I think that's what it is - you should double-check that path)

but since you're running redhat 9, why not just download the rpm's?

Axel has done a great job with things, and he and I will be finishing up
rpms for the other modules soon (though once you get mythtv and its deps
in, the other stuff compiles pretty easily).

Hi Chris... This shouldn't be it but let me double check. I downloaded and
compiled QT-3.1.2...

my QTDIR is defined as "QTDIR=/usr/local/qt" which is where the latest rev
lives

Weird...

I would, but to be honest I have a PVR 250 card and it isn't supported
until the .9 release. I was having build issues with the CVS of .9 so I
thought I'd back up and try and get .8 working to get the evironment
roughly "right" and then try .9 again.

So it looks like it is a QT related issue? is there something I can run
locate against to try and find the file that is "missing"?

Thanks!/

This is a wild guess, but Try this..

Insert this line into your /etc/ld.so.conf

/usr/local/qt/lib

then do a ldconfig then try to compile it again..

BTW: I was able to compile the CVS version on a fresh RH9 install with no
problems, but I like to choose a "Full Install" when going through the
package choosing process.

Doesn't RedHat 9 come with Qt 3.1? Anyway, did you build Qt
with threads? Don't forget to build it with mysql support, too:

configure -thread -plugin-sql-mysql -qt-sql-mysql [...]

Also, make sure you add /usr/local/qt/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and run
"ldconfig" after installing Qt.

qt-3.1.1-6

so I guess there's nothing wrong with compiling a new version.

Well it looks like I've made a bit of a mess. I think I'd rather just
reinstall and install ALL the components of RH9 - bring it totally up to
date, and try the CVS release again. If I do this, are there other third
party packages I need, other than LAME and XMLTV, to get it going?

The direct requirements are
# rpm -qR mythtv-frontend mythtv-backend|sort -u|xargs rpm -q --whatprovides|sort -u|grep -v 'no package provides'
bash-2.05b-23
freetype-2.1.2-7
glibc-2.3.2-4.80.6
lame-3.93.1-fr1
libgcc-3.2-7
libmyth-0.8-0_12at
libmyth-devel-0.8-0_12at
libstdc++-3.2-7
mythtv-0.8-0_12at
mythtv-backend-0.8-0_12at
mythtv-frontend-0.8-0_12at
qt-3.0.5-17
XFree86-libs-4.2.0-72
xmltv-0.5.10-0_19at

But xmltv has tons of perl requirements. Therefore:

<advertising>
o Get lame from freshrpm.net and mythtv/xmltv+dependecies from
atrpms.physik.fu-berlin.de, or much better:
o Get all dependencies in one sweep by installing atrpms-kickstart and run
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade # You want your system uptodate.
apt-get install mythtv-frontend mythtv-backend # no need to specify dependecies.
apt-get install synaptic; synaptic # optional, but nice ;)
