qt egg installation issue (installation-prefix)

[Mario Domenech Goulart]

The qt egg installation fails when run by salmonella: ​http://tests.call-cc.org/2010/07/13/salmonella-report/qt.html

It seems that the qt egg use (installation-prefix) from setup-api and gets /root/salmonella/salmonella-repo, which is the value passed to chicken-install via the -prefix option. However, the chicken tools (csc, csi) are not under /root/salmonella/salmonella-repo/bin.

I don't know if it is a salmonella bug or a qt setup bug.

mario, can you try out r18846 (trunk of qt egg) in your salmonella setup? I'm not sure how to reproduce this properly.

I couldn't make the qt trunk code build either.

Running chicken-install qt.setup from the qt trunk dir gives me:

$ chicken-install qt.setup

I get the same result when using salmonella. Here's the salmonella configuration file I'm using:

(dont-ask #t)
(verbose #t)
(eggs (lambda () (list "qt")))
(env-vars "CHICKEN_REPOSITORY=/home/mario/salmonella-repo/lib/chicken/5 QTDIR=/usr")
(chicken-eggs-dir "/home/mario/src/chicken-eggs/release/4")

I run salmonella salmonella.conf. The code above is the salmonella.conf contents.

I'm using chicken 4.5.0. I have the following easyffi versions:

$ chicken-status easyffi
easyffi ...................................................... version: 1.99.1
easyffi-base ................................................. version: 1.99.1

Any hint?

Forgot to mention that, to test the qt code from trunk with salmonella, I copied the trunk files to tags/0.91 by hand, so I can fool salmonella this way.

[Mario Domenech Goulart]

Testing trac after migration. Ignore this message.

[felix winkelmann]

I fixed several errors in the setup and support script, please give it another try (a new version has been tagged, which is 0.93).

Salmonella could install it: ​http://tests.call-cc.org/2010/08/11/salmonella-report/qt.html

I've installed it on my machine too and it seems to work fine (could run the egg-browser example)

Nice work. Thank you.

I'm closing this ticket.
