Error compiling under Fedora 33

[owlbrudder]

New user here, so I am sure to be doing something wrong. Spent a career writing software and now retired. This is my first time with Qt. I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

I am trying to compile from the source for 2.2.1 and getting an error when the compiler hits line 1522 in qtrpt.cpp

qScriptRegisterSequenceMetaType<QList<RptPageObject*> >(m_globalEngine);

The error reported is:

In file included from /usr/include/QtGui/qtextoption.h:47,
                 from /usr/include/QtGui/qpainter.h:51,

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Looks like that when you installed Qt, you didnt installed QtScript

So simple! I'm now hitting a problem compiling QtRptDesigner, because i am trying to use Fedora 33 default environment which is qt5. I could not find how to install QtScript for qt4 on this platform.

Ah - looks as though i need to install qtlinguist. Progress is being made ...
