I'm trying to build simon for PCLinuxOS, but I am stuck on the following error:

Code: Select all

-- Found KDE 4.11 library dir: /usr/lib64
-- Found the KDE4 kconfig_compiler preprocessor: /usr/bin/kconfig_compiler

..I have qwt v6 installed:

Code: Select all

[root@AspireM ~]# locate qwt | grep "\.so"
/usr/lib64/libqwt.so
/usr/lib64/libqwt.so.6
/usr/lib64/libqwt.so.6.0
/usr/lib64/libqwt.so.6.0.2
/usr/lib64/libqwtmathml.so
/usr/lib64/libqwtmathml.so.6
/usr/lib64/libqwtmathml.so.6.0
/usr/lib64/libqwtmathml.so.6.0.2
/usr/lib64/qt4/plugins/designer/libqwt_designer_plugin.so

[root@AspireM ~]# locate qwt | grep "qwt.h"
/usr/lib64/qt4/include/qwt/qwt.h



..it is definitely installed; Is there a way to bypass this check?

Thanks.

EDIT: was given the following as a solution:

You can either patch the file so it looks for it in the correct place:

FILE(GLOB Qwt6_GLOB_PATH /usr/qwt* /usr/local/qwt* /usr/lib64/qt4/include/qwt*)

Or just make a temporary symlink from /usr/lib64/qt4/include/qwt to /usr/include/qwt

[root@localhost ~]# ln -s /usr/lib64/qt4/include/qwt /usr/include/qwt

..I modified it to use sed from the %prep section of the rpm spec file:

Code: Select all

# fix broken FindQwt6.cmake
sed -i '/\/usr\/include\/qwt/ { c \
FILE(GLOB Qwt6_GLOB_PATH /usr/qwt* /usr/local/qwt* /usr/lib/qt4/include/qwt* /usr/lib64/qt4/include/qwt*)
}' cmake/FindQwt6.cmake


Ah, thanks for reporting, I was not aware of that installation directory.

I assume you fixed it yourself? For the future: you can always override auto detection rules by specifying the correct location to cmake: "cmake -DVARIABLE_NAME=value ...". ccmake even provides a nice (console) gui for stuff like that.

I have amended FindQwt6.cmake in master to make the patch unnecessary in any future Simon versions.

Best regards,
Peter
