CodeAnalyst

[King_DuckZ]

Hello, I'm trying to install CodeAnalyst from AMD (http://developer.amd.com/tools/heteroge ... for-linux/), but I'm having issues building it from code.
In the config.log I get the following:

gcc version 4.6.3 (Gentoo Hardened 4.6.3 p1.3, pie-0.5.2)
... rest of stderr output deleted ...
configure:3074: $? = 0
configure:3063: gcc -V >&5
gcc: error: unrecognized option '-V'
gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
configure:3074: $? = 1
configure:3063: gcc -qversion >&5
gcc: error: unrecognized option '-qversion'
gcc: fatal error: no input files

Can somebody help me please? It would also be nice to have it in Entropy or in sabayon overlay, I find it a very good product and being released under the GPL 2 I don't think there should be any legal issues.

No thoughts at all on CodeAnalyst? Can it be added to the repository? I really need to use it, so sorry if I insist... even some help with fixing the build would be appreciated!

From what I've read over at the gentoo forums, codeanalyst has a dependency on qt3. We have qt4. Having qt3 and qt4 at the same time isn't the easiest of things (not that it can't be done). I don't think you'll find many distro's (if any) that support qt3 anymore.

The latest version of CodeAnalyst (3.4) uses Qt4, not Qt3, but there is no ebuild available for Gentoo as far as I am aware (not even in any overlay). There is a .deb package for Ubuntu 12.04 though, so you could use it in Ubuntu.

You could try filing a request for an ebuild to be created and the package to be built from it and put in the Entropy repository. To do that, click on the link 'Bugs' at the top of this page. I don't know how long it would take for a SL developer to create it, though.

Thanks for your replies. The version I'm trying to build is indeed the 3.4, but it fails with the error:
checking for Qt library name... failed
configure: error: Cannot compile a simple Qt executable.
And the log says (sorry for the first post, I've pasted the wrong part):
configure:18025: checking for Qt library name
configure:18063: g++ -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.cpp -lbfd-2.22 -lz -liberty -ldl -lpopt -lelf -lQtCore >&5
conftest.cpp:44:22: fatal error: qglobal.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

Obviously I do have that file, some include path must be wrong.
I'll try to fix the build myself, but having CodeAnalyst in some repository would be a huge time saver, so I think I'll file the bug as Fitzcarraldo suggests anyways.
