Qvfb build problem... from a newbie

iw2lsi

Hi

in order to build qvfb, just configure, compile and install qt for X11 as usually

then update your PATH variable, cd to tools/qvfb under the same qt sources and run

qmake;
make;

thanks all...

Hi Giampaolo,

Yeah, that's exactly what I did but get the build problem with libpng? I've tried on three machines with the same results...
Not sure what I'm missing?

Thanks

Hello Richard...

can you report the error ?
maybe you are just missing the development version of the package

Oh! sorry!

as I remember I had succesfully compiled the qvfb in the past years, I'm going to try again...

actually with qt-4.8.0 and qt-4.8.1 I have another error:

x11keyfaker.cpp:48: fatal error: X11/extensions/XTest.h: File o directory non esistente

I'll try again asap on another (older) machine

Hello Richard

after resolving the libxtst dependency (apt-get install libxtst-dev), I succesfully compiled qvfb on qt 4.7.4

on the same machine, with 4.8.0 and 4.8.1 I have another problem:

.obj/release-shared/qlock.o: In function QLock::isValid() const': qlock.cpp:(.text+0x0): multiple definition of QLock::isValid() const'
...

my libpng is libpng12-dev (1.2.44-1ubuntu0.3), distro is KUbuntu 10.10

Best Regards

         Giampaolo

Hi Giampaolo,

Can you send me the ./configure parameters you use to build 4.8.0 QVFB?

Yeah I also saw this, it's because qlock. references in the make file are include twice???? This seems very strange? Is 4.8.x an officially tested release..

Hello Richard

yes... it's strange...

on X11 normally I pass no switch to configure... I just gave a

./configure; make; make install

I wonder also why qvfb is not built automatically with other tools...
