Qt5.1.0-rc2 building for Centos 6.4

[timoc]

Hi,

I'm having all sorts of trouble building from source using these instructions:
http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git

I have had problems ranging from making gcc crash (yes crash!) to unmet freetype dependencies at link time.

Does anyone have any Centos build instructions they can point to? or working configuration options?

[sahumada]

what configure options are you using and what's the error log ?

I was building with:
./configure -prefix /opt/local/qt-5.1.0 -developer-build -opensource -nomake tests -no-gtkstyle -opensource -confirm-license -nomake examples -fully-process -qt-xcb -qt-zlib -no-sql-mysql -no-glib

but i have it building now with:

./configure -prefix /opt/local/qt-5.1.0 -opensource -nomake tests -no-gtkstyle -opensource -confirm-license -nomake examples -fully-process -qt-zlib -no-sql-mysql -no-glib -no-eglfs -no-opengl

This is after installing a bunch of extra devel packages, which i have no idea as to if they are needed or not. I think the only requirement is -no-eglfs and -no-sql-mysql. I'm tweaking the configure to see what i can build, and will post back to this thread if i have anything new.

Here is a script i have concocted for prepping a vanilla centos 6.4 box for development, which I've added the qt devel requirements to, which should make life easier for those QT developers that want to try it for themselves in a Centos VM.

Have been using Qt4.8.5 on CentOS 6.4 for a while now. More recently just built latest Qt5.3.0.
CentOS requires the development tools installed.
Added the xcb-util-devel package to resolve xcb.
Added gstreamerdevel packages to enable Phonon support
Then ./configure -prefix <destination>
