[SOLVED] compile error - library issue

[MontyWilliams]

mageia2 x86-64
Trying to compile xpat2 --> wish it was an rpm as in Mandriva <---

Running make, get error "fatal error: qobject.h: No such file or directory"
Ran urpmf.

In fact qobject.h is installed - in lib64qt4-devel

Question: Do I need to install the 32 bit libqt4-devel or can I force the make to see the 64 bit lib?
The 32 bit brings with it a ton of packages.

Cheers

What I would do in this situation is to get the src rpm from Mandriva 2010.2 (NOT 2011) and rebuild it for Mageia.
Rebuilding src.rpms is not hard once you have your build environment set up. There is a guide here
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packaging_for_beginners

BTW: If you put in an rpm request on Bugzilla someone might import it into Mageia

Thank you.
Quite educational.

Trying with xpat2-1.07-25mdv2010.1.src-1.rpm
Downloaded and saved.
Trying to use rpm or urpmi on this file gives error message "unsatisfied qt3-devel".
This (qt3) is a much depricated package?
spec file says "BuildRequires: qt3-devel" I wonder if I can just change this line to qt4?
Edit: Not quite that simple.

Will submit request for package inclusion.
Thought I saw some months ago an intention to include xpat2 in Mageia2, but with the manpower shortage at Mageia and the lack of importance of this package I guess not?

I will experience some grief on the home front if I install Mageia2 as my working system without this game.

This is probably why it has not been imported already. qt3-devel is not in Mandriva either yet xpat2 is still there. I suspect that means it has not been rebuilt for some time. Have you tried simply installing the Mandriva 2010.2 rpm? The worst that can happen is that it fails to install or does not work.

Trying:
xpat2-1.07-25mdv2010.1.x86_64.rpm
Looks OK.
Thanks.
