[gentoo-dev] xft blocks qt-2.3.2-r1 ?

[gentoo-dev] xft blocks qt-2.3.2-r1 ?

[Alan]

Greetings guys.  I'm just finishing up a setup of a 1.4_rc2 box and I
tried to install a cd burning program for qt called koncd.  It requires
qt 2.3.2, but emerge reports that it is blocked by the x11-libs/xft
package.  These two don't seem related, and it seems a bit odd for the
block.

alan@phoenix alan $ emerge -p /usr/portage/x11-libs/qt/qt-2.3.2-r1.ebuild 

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B    ] x11-libs/xft (from pkg x11-libs/qt-2.3.2-r1)
[ebuild    UD] x11-libs/qt-2.3.2-r1 [3.1.0-r1]

Is this a bug, or will qt 2 provide xft (seems doubtful to me somehow).
Can anyone explain?

Hi

I know this is not the best solution (well, maybe it is ;), but there are WAY 
better burning apps in portage that use QT 3 and KDE 3, and are still under 
active development (maybe koncd is too, but then under kdenonbeta in kde 
CVS). Examples are k3b, arson, kreatecd (i think) and cdbakeoven. I use k3b 
and arson, and they just rock!

See ya

well, qt-2 doesn't work with xft-2, only with xft-1.
xft-1 is provided by xfree ebuilds, xft-2 by x11-libs/xft ebuilds.

so i added !x11-libs/xft to depend, but removed it again, and added
-no-xft to qt's configure, since not all xfree ebuilds (xfree-4.2.99)
provide xft-1.x.

hth,
