Valknut

I have some questions about the compile method of 0.4.0. The compilation of dclib was successful, i built it to a separated directory from the 0.3.15's dclib. Then i did:
pityke@pityke-desktop:~/valknut314/valknut-0.4.0$ ./configure --prefix=/home/pityke/valknut314/buildqt4/valknut PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/pityke/valknut314/buildqt4/dclib/lib/pkgconfig
the configure has stopped with this message:
checking that dclib SSL use matches valknut SSL use... configure: error: dclib must be built with the same SSL option as valknut. If you used --without-ssl for dclib, you must also use it for valknut.
I tried what happens if i add the --without-ssl switch.
The configure was succesfull but in that case but i got a make error:
Making all in ui
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/pityke/valknut314/valknut-0.4.0/valknut/ui'
/usr/bin/uic -o DCDialogFileBrowser.h ./DCDialogFileBrowser.ui

I have Qt 4.3.4 installed, and i'm using ubuntu 8.04; the make is GNU Make 3.81
What i'm doing wrong?

Ubuntu appear to have packaged QT4 incorrectly. According to http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/libqt4-dev/filelist , they have put the QT4 version of uic into /usr/share/qt4/bin , but /usr/share/ is for architecture independent files only, not compiled binary programs.

Valknut's configure script looks for uic in `pkg-config --variable prefix QtCore`/bin, and fails to find it, so the QT3 version is used, which fails.

I will adjust the configure script to prefer uic-qt4.

Meanwhile, adjust your PATH so that the QT4 tools are first e.g. add PATH=/usr/share/qt4/bin:$PATH to the configure arguments.

Also, if dclib/valknut SSL does not match, valknut will compile, but crash immediately when run. Probably the configure test is broken and dclib-ssl-use.h is not being found.

Ok, I will keep on trying with this. Thanks for your help.

i have the same problem (obviously with the same operative system =) )
i have tryed to rename the file '/usr/bin/uic-qt3' in 'uic-qt3.old' (random choice) and '/usr/bin/uic-qt4' in 'uic-qt3', so qt uic was linked to qt4core and not qt3. however after i having launched 'make', the compilation was arrested with an error message:

The wrong moc was run.

Just adjust your PATH so that the QT4 bin directory is first.

Great! I have renamed also the file '/usr/share/bin/moc-qt3' in 'moc-qt3.old' and '/usr/share/bin/moc-qt4' in 'moc-qt3' and i have succeed to compile :)

thanks a lot

Instead of doing the hard way you may try
sudo update-alternatives --config qmake
