Problem Building Qt5 on SLED11.3
-
Hello,
I have been trying to use Qt5 on Suse SLED11.3 but I have found that the X11 libxcb library distributed as part of SLED11 does not support the XInput2 extensions and so the pre-build distributions of Qt5.2.1 does not work in this linux distribution. Consequently I have tried building Qt from source with first Qt5.2.1 and then Qt5.3 but in both cases I have encountered the same issue.
I configure the build using "configure -no-c++11 -qt-xcb" or ""configure -no-c++11 -qt-xcb -platform linux-g++" and the configure stage works fine and the configure status looks reasonable. However, when I try to build, I get a compilation failure when compiling qtbase/src/3rdparty/xcb/xcb-util-wm/icccm.c because a lot of macros starting with XCB_ATOM_ are undefined.
Is there some trick that I am missing to get this to work?
The full compiler command line and the first few errors from it's output for this file are appended below.
