[Protux-devel] mustuxlib doesn't find QT

[Martin Herren]

Hej,

since a few day i try to compile the CVS version of mustuxlib on my pc
running Debian woody without success.
./configure can't find qt (libqt-mt.so.3 not found), but
qt 2.3.1 and 3.0.3 runtime libraries are installed under

$ ls /usr/lib/libqt*
/usr/lib/libqt-gl.so.2      /usr/lib/libqt.so.2.3
/usr/lib/libqt-gl.so.2.3    /usr/lib/libqt.so.2.3.1
/usr/lib/libqt-gl.so.2.3.1  /usr/lib/libqt.so.3
/usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.2      /usr/lib/libqt.so.3.0
/usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.2.3    /usr/lib/libqt.so.3.0.3
/usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.2.3.1
/usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3
/usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.0
/usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.0.3
/usr/lib/libqt.so
/usr/lib/libqt.so.2

i also got a symlink from /usr/lib/qt3/lib to /usr/lib cause lots of programs 
want it there...

the header files (only for version 3.0.3 are under /usr/include/qt, also with a 
symlink from /usr/lib/qt3/include for the same reason...

moc is under /usr/bin, also with a symlink from /usr/lib/qt3/bin...

i looked a bit around inside the configure script and found that the presence 
(and the version) of qt seems to be tested with "$kde_qtver", "$kde_qtsubver", 
"$kde_qt_minversion" and similar variables...
i don't have kde libs installed... and AFAIK Protux doesn't need kde...
so why is kde required by Protux's configure script to find qt ???

it don't think it's a good idea to make Protux dependent on kde, even more if 
kde is only used by the configure script.

BTW, it would be nice if the configure script could also find qt under 
/usr/[local/]lib (the standard place for libraries, even if qt/troll-tech tried 
to teach us another way) instead only under /usr/lib/qt3/lib
