Qt 5.2 on RHEL 5.8

ninadm

Hi,

I am building Qt 5.2 from source, i have finished compiling on Win 7, RHEL 6 & Ububtu 12.04 without any issue ( after figuring out missing dependencies ;) ).

But on RHEL 5 with gcc 4.8.0 compiler i am having all sorts of issues, first there are lot of missing dependencies which i had to manually install ( http://qt.digia.com/Product/Qt-core-features-functions/supported-platforms/ ) and even after installing all those libs i am still not able to compile.

Below is the error reported during make

Any pointer? i have tried most of the options out there on web, but still not working...

Change "-opengl" to "-opengl desktop" or "-opengl es2".

Otherwise, it looks like an error coming from RHEL, not Qt. See "link":http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-560239-start-0.html and "link":http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=38195&forumpage=3&PHPSESSID=e5af.

Adding above options didnt work, there are lot of dependencies missing in RHEL 5, we dropped the idea of compiling it on RHEL5.

I got the same issue. You can bypass it by compiling this file manually and by removing the -std=c++0x option
Hope this can help!
