[SOLVED] Re: [trinity-users] arts build - uic-tqt ... not found (I've packaged and installed tqtinterface, but uic-tqt got missed?)

(at least Arch Linux [makepkg], and Slack [whatever it uses]). The reason on Arch is that 'makepkg' does a "semi" out of source build by creating a 'src' and 'pkg' directory in the current module directory. It builds everything in 'src' and then create packages in the fakeroot 'pkg' directory with 'make $DESTDIR=pkg/ install' The final Arch Linux package is created from the contents of 'pkg' and then 'src' and 'pkg' dirs can be removed leaving the original svn source unchanged. The tqtinterface/qtinterface/Makefile.am specifies: install-exec-local: test -z "$(bindir)" || $(MKDIR_P) "$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)" cp -Rp "$(srcdir)/tqt-replace" "$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/" cp -Rp "$(srcdir)/tqt-replace-stream" "$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/" cp -Rp "$(srcdir)/moc-tqt" "$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/" cp -Rp "$(srcdir)/uic-tqt" "$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/" <snip> In the list, everything except 'uic-tqt' is built in the 'src' directory and gets copied to the 'pkg' directory for packaging. But the correct path for uic-tqt is actually '../qtinterface/uic-tqt' not '$(srcdir)/uic-tqt' since it is provided as part of the source and not built during the compile. So it never gets packaged by default. I suspect something similar happens on Slackware. I don't know if this can be fixed in the code, a check put in place, or if it is just something that must be dealt with manually. For Arch, you just have to add a manual copy to the PKGBUILD script: package() { msg "Packaging - $pkgname-$pkgver" cd ${srcdir} mkdir -p ${pkgdir}/usr/bin cp -Rp ../qtinterface/uic-tqt ${pkgdir}/usr/bin make DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" install } -- David C.
