Building F4L-CVS under Linux Debian

F4L is built over QT3, but still need some packages to run, you might encounter some messages like :

Unable to find /usr/lib/qt3/mkspecs/default/qmake.conf

To fix this first issue you should have installed all qt3-dev packages and link /usr/share/qt3/mkspecs to /usr/lib/qt3/mkspecs, to do this run the following command :

ln -s /usr/share/qt3/mkspecs /usr/lib/qt3

Next, run kdevelop and build the project using the f4l.kdevelop provided with the sources

First of all you will need some packages, so first run this :

apt-get install libqt3-compat-headers libqt3-headers libqt3-mt-dev

there might be others that I don’t know about, please let me know

Building f4l-beta under Linux Debian

first follow all points mentionned above (except using kdevelop), next, use the following commands :

        ln /usr/share/qt3/include /usr/lib/qt3/include -s	# this must be done using root priviledges

	export CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/qt3"
	export CXXFLAGS="-I/usr/include/qt3"
	export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/qt3"

	# this is to make sure that configure will not cache any parameters
	rm -f config.cache
	./configure
	make

and now, have a cup of tea, this gonna take a long time from now
