My current headache is trying to convince sondra* to build. It requires Qt2.2 or greater, and I have qt2.3 installe: bash-2.04# pkg_info|grep qt qt-1.45_1 A C++ X GUI toolkit qt-2.3.0 A C++ X GUI toolkit Sondra uses gnu autoconf to configure the build environment, but I can't get it to see that I have qt installed: bash-2.04# ./configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/X11/qt2 .... checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (snapshot >= Qt 2.1 beta2) (libraries) not found. Please check your installation! The /usr/X11/qt2 directory is my own cheap hack to make it look like I have a normal installation of Qt: bash-2.04# ls -l /usr/X11/qt2 total 0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6 Aug 6 16:04 bin@ -> ../bin lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14 Aug 6 15:56 include@ -> ../include/qt2 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6 Aug 6 15:57 lib@ -> ../lib Has anybody had any success with getting autoconf'ed programs to see ports software? Is there an option I can give to the ports "make" to build it so that that it works with autoconf'ed programs? I love ports software, but it's not all-inclusive.
