Make errors making qtcreator on Solaris

kcbehler

I’ve seen a few “qtcreator on solaris from source” posts here around.
One saying: “Just build it!”

So I tried.

What I have:
Solaris 10 on Intel x86-64
gcc/g++ (GCC) 4.6.2
qt binaries and libraries: qmake —version returns
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.7.4 in /usr/gnu/64/lib
qtcreator.tar.zip expanded to qt/qt-creator-2.5.2-src

What I do is:
qmake qtcreator.pro -> produces a Makefile
make -> fails after a lot of ok messages from many compilations

cd utils/ && make -f Makefile.process_stub
gcc -c -m64 -O2 -Wall -W -DIDE_LIBRARY_BASENAME=\“lib\” -DQT_NO_CAST_TO_ASCII -DQT_USE_FAST_OPERATOR_PLUS -DQT_USE_FAST_CONCATENATION -I/afs/ipp-garching.mpg.de/aug/gnu/sunx86_510/64/mkspecs/solaris-g++-64 -I. -I../../../src -I../../libs -I/afs/ipp-garching.mpg.de/home/k/kcb/ftp/qt/qt-creator-2.5.2-src/tools -I../../plugins -I/afs/ipp-garching.mpg.de/aug/gnu/sunx86_510/include -o .obj/release-shared/process_stub_unix.o process_stub_unix.c

Any help much appreciated,

Looks like solaris has moved ptrace and socket into a separate library. Find out where those symbols are defined and add it into the .pro-file.

We never tested Crator with Solaris, you will most likely run into more issues. The fastest way to get them resolved is most likely dropping by on frenode.net in the #qt-creator channel on IRC (european business hours work best).
