New subject: [trinity-devel] arts 3.5.12 FTBFS (solved)

18 Mar 2011


      I don't know what happened. I modified my build scripts to install Trinity in /opt/trinity. I was planning to install Trinity alongside 3.5.10, which is installed in /usr. This is part of my preparation for building on newer Slackware systems.
Here is the tail end of the build log:
======================================

======================================
Several days ago I built 3.5.12 with no failures. So I did something wrong, but I don't know what.
This is a repeatable failure. I checked that I have qt-3.3.8b installed and not 3.3.8c. Automake is the correct version. tqtinterface-3.5.12 builds without errors and is installed in /usr.
Thanks.
