Qtstalker Installation

[sh_paul@yahoo.com]

Hi guys,
I am using Slackware 13.0 (x86). One of the programs I reaaly need to use is Qtstalker. When I try to compile this program, I get qt-related error. In the past I've used Ubuntu, which had two QT packages: qt & qt-dev. Do I need to install qt-dev package on my slackware box ?

Thanks,

Can you post the exact error message? It would be really helpful.

Hi Mike,

Thank you for your prompt reply. Sorry, I wasn't that quick--I've been sick lately. Here the error I am getting:

g++ -c -pipe -ffast-math -Wall -W -g -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -DQT_SHARED -DQT_NO_DEBUG
-I/usr/lib/qt/mkspecs/default -I. -I/usr/local/include/ta-lib -I/usr/lib/qt/include -o UpgradeMessage.o UpgradeMessage.cpp

make[1]: *** [UpgradeMessage.o] Error 1

There are three dependencies for 'qtstalker': QT (=> 3.3), Berkeley DB (=>4.1), and TA-LIB (=> 0.3.0). I have compiled and installed them properly. I also tried to use QT that came with Slackware 13.0 DVD and the one I downloaded from 'trolltech dot com/'. Neither one let's me compile 'qtstalker'.

Any help or pointer would be appreciated. Thanks, Paul.

Hello and Welcome back from being sick, that is never pleasant and we're glad you feel better. I'm not having much luck tracking down an exact answer for you but have you looked in your system repos to see if it's already available? It's available on Gentoo systems and this should make installing it much easier than compiling from source. About all I can think of is to make absolutely sure that you have met all the depends and systems requirements, read all the included README and INSTALL files you can find in the package that you downloaded.

EDIT: a little more investigating reveals that I need ta-lib-0.4.0 to install this program, check to see if you have it.

Thank you Mike,

I will double-check 'ta-lib' version and will try to compile it again. If it's not going to work, I will give Gentoo a try.

Many thanks again,

Paul
