Debian etch doesn't have the right qmake ?

[anonymous]

I'm using etch with 4.0, not 4.1 that is not avalaible

for stable nor testing.

.configure stop with

configure: Processing language translations... configure: Running qmake... ***Unknown option -config Usage: /usr/bin/qmake [mode] [options] [files]

QMake has two modes, one mode for generating project files based on

some heuristics, and the other for generating makefiles. Normally you shouldn't need to specify a mode, as makefile generation is the default mode for qmake, but you may use this to test qmake on an existing project

It seems that qmake doesn't know about the option. Is this due to lack of 4.1? Because this leave out all Debian user, there is

any trick to allow Vidalia installation on Debian ?

Thanks a lot. Marco

One ticket is sufficient. Thanks.

We have a few Debian users (on sarge and etch) running Vidalia, including myself. A couple of us have gotten the correct version of Qt (4.1) from backports.org. I assume that's where the others have gotten it as well, but they haven't explicitly said.

ah, this is the qmake I have

mustafar:~/vidalia-0.0.6# qmake -version Qmake version: 1.07a (Qt 3.3.6) Qmake is free software from Trolltech AS.

[marcoc@…]

catch it. some package acrivate the alternative debian feature,

and qmake point to qmake-qt3

simply run

mustafar:~/vidalia-0.0.6# update-alternatives --set qmake /usr/bin/qmake-qt4 Using /usr/bin/qmake-qt4' to provide qmake'.
