@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.

Please modify the configure command to include -little-endian and -host-little-endian. PKGBUILD is broken in current state.

or ingorepkg = qt4 to 'save your trouble'

This may be true, but you can't expect everyone to use a clean chroot. This build process is too fragile. It should work in any linux environment that satisfies the dependencies, and only ever fail with an explicit message indicating which dependencies are missing.

Your argument is invalid.

If this builds in a clean chroot, it indicates that this works correctly under expected circumstances. It additionally means the maintainer might not know why your system is special causing it to not work.

And make no mistake about it -- your system is special if it doesn't work. My system can build qt4 just fine outside of a clean chroot (I have just finished doing so), so clearly it is not impossible, and this matches the expected clean chroot results, so...

While it's possible that specific issues causing it to fail might be dealt with, I'd argue that the onus is on you, the person who it is failing for, to figure out the solution, rather than the maintainer, who it builds fine for.

I bet if someone could figure out the problem, dviktor would be happy to incorporate that feedback in the PKGBUILD.

@Drew it's entirely related to the Qt building process. I think we can't do a lot to improve building stability (please also consider how much time has passed since last Qt 4 update). Robust packages build fine on any system but this is not the case so we are forced to use clean chroot build or precompiled binary.

@alan1world this builds fine in a clean chroot.

build fails on one machine, works on another, both with dbus 1.12.16-5 :

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.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
