Problem building static 32bit library on 64bit ubuntu

[groomsh]

Hi,

i am trying to build static 32 bit qt library on 64 bit ubuntu but the build fails with:

@
g++ -c -m32 -pipe -O2 -fvisibility=hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -DQT_BUILD_OPENGL_LIB -DQT_NO_USING_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_CAST_TO_ASCII -DQT_ASCII_CAST_WARNINGS -DQT3_SUPPORT -DQT_MOC_COMPAT -DQT_USE_FAST_OPERATOR_PLUS -DQT_USE_FAST_CONCATENATION -DQT_NO_FREETYPE -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -I../../mkspecs/linux-g++-32 -I. -I../../include/QtCore -I../../include/QtGui -I../../include -I../../include/QtOpenGL -I.rcc/release-static -I../3rdparty/harfbuzz/src -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I.moc/release-static -o .obj/release-static/qgl_x11.o qgl_x11.cpp

i configured it with:

@
./configure -static -release -optimized-qmake -qt-zlib -qt-gif -qt-libpng -qt-libmng -qt-libjpeg --prefix=/opt/qt4-static-32b -platform linux-g++-32 -nomake demos -nomake examples -confirm-license
@

Can anybody give me some clues ? :)

I assume that you have to have 32bit versions of Qt dependencies installed on your system along with 64bit versions.

[groomsh]

Well yes, but i guess this error is confusing me...
It complains that QFontEngineFT is not declared, but i see this include at the beginning of the file:
@#include <private/qfontengine_ft_p.h>@
(QFontEngineFT is declared in this header file)

@
qt$ find . -name qfontengine_ft_p.h
./include/QtGui/private/qfontengine_ft_p.h
./src/gui/text/qfontengine_ft_p.h
@

You can see -I../../include/QtGui in the g++ command so i suppose it finds this header file:
@ ./include/QtGui/private/qfontengine_ft_p.h @
which in turn contains only one line:
@#include "../../../src/gui/text/qfontengine_ft_p.h"@

No idea what's going on :(

[lyuts]

Ok, src/gui/text/qfontengine_ft_p.h holds the definition of QFontEngineFT. But if you look inside it, then you will see that is is wrapped with

@#ifndef QT_NO_FREETYPE@

So, it looks like QT_NO_FREETYPE is defined and as a result the definition of class is just thrown away. I guess some options cause this behaviour. But at this point I don't know which one of them may be guilty.

[lyuts]

I have just looked through the configure script and come up with an idea: try to specify a "-freetype" option when configuring. It is not documented when running

@./configure --help@

But according to configure's source, it is supported.

[groomsh]

Ok cool, will try it.

Old post!

I'm in same position. I have explicitly declared -system-freetype flag. Though compile terminates with same error.
