If there weren't any errors, the required RPMs are now installed.
[/list=1]
[*] Installing Qt

You have two options here either download the RPM's I've made available or download and compile Qt yourself.

1. Installing Qt using the RPMs I've provided
   You need to get the Qt 2.3.2 RPMs compiled with Gcc3 for Redhat 7.1/7.2. They are available at http://www.doomed.to/showeq and ftp://azriel.trifocus.net/pub/redhat. The specific RPMs you need for ShowEQ are qt-gcc3-2.3.2-1.i386.rpm and qt-gcc3-devel-2.3.2-1.i386.rpm.
   
   To install the RPMs use the following command:
   

   rpm -ihv qt-gcc3-2.3.2-1.i386.rpm qt-gcc3-devel-2.3.2-1.i386.rpm

   These RPMs install Qt under /opt/qt-gcc3-2.3.2. I have provided a script /opt/bin/useqt232 that can be sourced to set the appropriate environment variables to compile ShowEQ with this copy of Qt. You source the script as follows:
   

   $ . /opt/bin/useqt232

2. Installing and compiling Qt 2.3.2
   If you have not already done so, download the sources to qt-2.3.2 from ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-x11-2.3.2.tar.gz, the patch attached to this post (also found at http://www.doomed.to/showeq/qt-2.3.2-gcc3.patch). Then download the handy dandy shell script I provide for setting the Qt related environment variables from http://www.doomed.to/showeq/useqt232 and save it under the /opt/bin diretory (making an /opt/bin directory if necessary).
   
   To compile qt-2.3.2 using the 3.x compiler from the RedHat RPMS do the following (in order):

   $ cd /opt
   $ gtar xzvf <download_dir>/qt-x11-2.3.2.tar.gz
   $ gunzip -c <download_dir>/qt-2.3.2-gcc3.patch | patch -p 0
   $ mv qt-2.3.2 qt-gcc3-2.3.2
   $ cd qt-gcc3-2.3.2
   $ . /opt/bin/useqt232
   $ configure -release -shared -gif -xft -sm -system-libmng -system-zlib -system-libpng -system-jpeg -no-g++-exceptions -thread
   $ make

   Replace <download_dir> with wherever you downloaded the files to. You also might want to put the environment variable setting stuff into a shell script for later reuse. [/list=1]
   
   The options to configure are more or less taken from the qt.spec file from the RedHat qt-2.3.1 SRPM, the main option that is really needed is -thread.
   
3. Get libEQ.a
   Download the libEQ.a file from ftp://smurfette.trifocus.net/pub/libeq/i386/linux (with md5sum4e9d9772132fc63ea8860cc2fdb2905d ) and place it in your /usr/local/lib directory.
   
4. ShowEQ getting, configuring and compiling
   After you have successfully installed/compiled qt-2.3.2 (using the g++ 3.x compilers and the -thread configuration option) and installed libEQ.a you can get ShowEQ and configure it by doing the following (where <yourdir> is where you want to put the ShowEQ sources):

   $ cd <yourdir>
   $ export CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq
   $ cvs login
         Hit enter when prompted for a password
   $ cvs checkout showeq
   $ cd showeq
   $ . /opt/bin/useqt232
   $ export CXX=g++3
   $ export CC=gcc3
   $ make -f Makefile.dist
   $ ./configure

   Then do make as usual:
   

   $ make

   su to root, and install ShowEQ
   

   $ su 
      Enter your linux systems root password
   $ make install

   If this is your first time using a new version of showeq, make sure to either update your showeq.conf file based on showeq.conf.dist or create a showeq.conf file based on it. Typically you put the resulting showeq.conf under /usr/local/share/showeq/ .
   
   To run the resulting binary, su to root, and then run showeq (you can add command line options to suit):
   

   $ showeq

And theoretically, if you did everything correctly and I didn't have too many typos ShowEQ should run as expected.

Note, since a recent patch, you no longer have to set environment variables to run the ShowEQ executable. So do not put the environment variable stuff into your .profile, .bashrc, .cshrc, or .login files as doing so may break KDE.

Using this procedure you do not have to uninstall anything, nor change any links manually.

I hope this helps.

Enjoy,

One Word
THANK YOU
Ok 2 words then

Works perfect

Previously, I was getting the "Be sure you have at least GCC 3 blah blah" message.

This post fixed it... the solution was the two export lines, CC and CXX. Go figure. Once I exported those two it worked like a charm.

Thanks Zaphod.

RH7.1 followed all steps in this thread and have the exact libraries suggested. Make ran for about 40 mins and abended.

make[3]: *** [Kernel/qmngio.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/qt/src'
make[2]: *** [src-mt] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/qt'
make[1]: *** [src-mt] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/qt'

Ideas please?

[high_jeeves]

Please post the entire error message, what you posted is just make exiting out of its directory. Post about 10-20 lines above what you have there.

When I follow the link to RPMFIND I do not see those files. It looks like there are older versions of those GCC3 files available, but the ones required for Show EQ are not there. I found these files by going to www.tucows.com and searching for GCC. They are a real bitch to install, I hope I got it right after about 2 hours.

I also can not get the files from the CVS site, I think I have a firewall in the way (at work, cannot tell). I can get the Sourceforge FTP site but all of the copies of SEQ there are old. <b>Is there somewhere else that I can download the V4 SEQ files from? Can you put them out on the FTP Site for us?</b>

Thanks,
EZ

Be gentle , I am willing to do whatever I have to do, and learn whatever I have to learn to get this installed, but this is all new to me. If I could figure out a way to get the files in one mass download from the Browse CVS area I would get them that way, but it looks like you have to download them one at a time from there and there are just too many.

[Chuin]

I need to post about 30 lines of the text from my QT make attempt but the terminal does not allow me to CTRL C or cut text to paste into this thread. Short of just typeing the 30 or so lines is there a faster way?

PS.. I tried make | log

[Stipen]

It looks like you may have the same problem I did, missing libmng.h (This is for animated png files as opposed to animated gif files)

Grab it from here and it should take care of your problem.

My knowledge of Linux, and SEQ interworkings has increased 1000 fold.

I got the following error when trying to compile Seq. Tis is after I loaded all the reccommended files, installed the patch specified, etc. Any ideas?

[Stumpus]

Finally got QT installed. I think it took around four or five hours for me. Anyway, thanks for the help. It's running great. I went ahead and reformatted and installed a fresh copy of Red Hat 7.2 and followed your instructions. I had zero problems after I realized I was initially trying to install it on 7.0 (I spent hours trying to figure out why I was getting configure errors related to X windows).

Big thanks to all you developers. Your amazing expertise with Linux and development has led me to grow more comfortable and impressed with Linux than I thought possible... not to mention making my play time so much more efficient and enjoyable.

Hi
I installed Seq acording to this (Zaphod's) guide yesterday, and it took like h... but worked perfectly.
BUT when i tried to starte ShowEQ today, i got the following error.

undefined symbol: _ZN2Qt9lightGreyE

I found out, that by adding the enviroment value LD_LIBRARY_PATH again, Show EQ worked fine.

Do the following:

export QTDIR=/usr/local/qt-2.3.2
export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Then no prob.
I aint no Linux expert, so i don't know where to add enviroment values, so they are permanent, that is set when booting. Anyone ???

Managed to get gcc3 installed using these instructions for RH7.1 but now my qt2.3.2 compile is falling over pretty early on with this error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [moc] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/qt-2.3.2/src/moc'
make[1]: *** [src-moc] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/qt-2.3.2'
make: *** [init] Error 2

Anyone have any ideas on this one? The error occurs not right at the beginning but after it has done about 30 seconds of compiling.

Thanks.

[EQNutter]

Comparing my gcc directories it appears that my old version (2.96) had some files which 3.0.2 is missing:

cc1obj
f771
libgc2.a
libobjc.a
libobjc.la
libobjc.so
libobjc.so.1
libobjc.so.1.0.0
libstdc++.a
libstdc++.so
SYSCALLS.c.X

I definitely did install the lib RPMs but is it possible that these got installed to go along with the old version of gcc? If so how can I ensure that they go with my new 3.0.2?

Thanks.

[TriggerHappy]

nm... fixed

I know how this line works-- or is it some kind of comment??
