Arch Linux User Repository

PKGBUILD for this package is being maintained there. You can install pre-built packages from my repo

Qt4 binary package has moved to my personal repository located here. You can add it to your /etc/pacman.conf for convenience, if you want (don't forget to import my GPG key).

@semeion,

qt4 was expelled from the official repositories due to https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2019-April/029560.html

It will not be restored, because software needs to stop using qt4. It's fine for people to still use it via the AUR if they have old software that is not ported, but the proper solution is to get that software ported to qt5.

"It takes a long time to compile" is not a reason to move it to community.

@xuanruiqi,

Only Developers and Trusted Users have access to pkgbuild.com, and we will not be uploading qt4 there. If we wanted qt4, we would upload it to community, but we don't -- we have managed to move every package still being actively maintained in the official repos, over to qt5, and we want to stay that way.

...

Again, the proper long-term solution is to get software ported over to qt5.

For those who have problems with ‘std::tr1’ has not been declared error: build in clean chroot with extra-x86_64-build script.

@dviktor maybe it can be added in mainline arch repository? seems like qt4 could be in mainline/community repo.

I don´t have a clean-chroot environment to compile it. I think alot of users will fail to compile qt4 on next weeks.

@shaurz please check that you have up-to-date dbus installed on your system

@semeion seems like it's package-related: it's very sensitive for the environment. While for the part of users package builds fine in usual environment the other part suffers from messed env for building Qt4. Even lib32-qt4 package mentions about it and build in clean chroot is recommended

Will this problem be solved in the future? or will it only be possible to compile qt4 using clean-chroot?

Failing to build with this error:

The QtDBus module cannot be enabled because libdbus-1 version 0.93 was not found. Turn on verbose messaging (-v) to ./configure to see the final report. If you believe this message is in error you may use the continue switch (-continue) to ./configure to continue.

I have a nonstandard PKGBUILD (my CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS are "-march=native -fomit-frame-pointer -O2 -pipe -fno-plt", but it turned out not to matter. It seems nonstandard PKGBUILD is usually NOT an issue, unless you put questionable things in your CXXFLAGS. Standard optimization options should just be fine.

The real problem is the clean chroot, which usually points to strange bugs.

Do any of us have access to the pkgbuild.com server? If so we can perhaps host built binaries there.

@xuanruiqi same result, same opinion : long compilation only possible by clean-chroot, a binary package would be welcome

Was having same issue and editing makepkg.conf made no difference, only lines different from yours were MAKEFLAGS="-j2" and BUILDDIR=/tmp/makepkg aside from PACKAGER and GPGKEY however, builds fine in clean-chroot. Thanks!

For those who have problems with ‘std::tr1’ has not been declared error: build in clean chroot with extra-x86_64-build script.

My error isn't due to a makepkg config. obj/release-static/YarrInterpreter.o fails to build:

But I suggest to build in clean chroot which seems to solve this nasty bug
