KDE4 build problems with Qt4

Beginner

Saturday, January 12th 2008, 11:53am

Hi. I try to build KDE4 from source code on Linux (x86_64), but when I build kdelibs I get a cmake error message

	Source code
1 2	CMake Error: Qt compiled without support for -fvisibility=hidden. This will break plugins and linking of some applications. Please fix your Qt installation.

I have Qt 4.3.3 built with -fvisibility=default. But when I try to build Qt with -fvisibility=hidden it fails with many "undefined reference to" errors while linking /bin/uic3 target. That's the example:

Source code

Please help me. I really don't know what to do next and what's the problem is...

there is a hidden configure-option for QT

just add the following option to your QT-configure:
-reduce-exports

sadly, this option is not listed in the --help output from the configure-script.

Oh, I just completely forgot to write here about results.. My problem was somewhere in the toolchain: I used GCC 4.2 as I remember, and it compiled something weird. I don't think it was a compiler itself, but the whole toolchain. I've recompiled the toolchain and changed GCC to 4.1.2 to ensure and that was it.

Now I use KDE 4.0.3 and it's something wonderful. Thank everyone for support.

i had the same error message about -fvisibility=hidden with gcc-4.1.2 and worked around with the undocumented configure-switch "-reduce-exports" for QT4.

(just to make clear that this error does not always come from a bad tool chain)
