Description Peter Grasch 2012-12-01 10:56:13 UTC

The Makefile generation of Qwt6s designer plugin goes a bit awry and produces this (r:/build/kdesupport/qwt6-20110806/work/mingw4-RelWithDebInfo-6.0.1/designer/Makefile.Release):
[...]
@echo rcc ..\..\qwt-6.0.1\designer\qwt_designer_plugin.qrc && .\bin\rcc.exe -name qwt_designer_plugin ..\..\qwt-6.0.1\designer\qwt_designer_plugin.qrc -o resources\qrc_qwt_designer_plugin.cpp
[...]

.\bin\rcc.exe is of course not a valid path in that folder, so the build fails:
http://paste.kde.org/617972/

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge qwt6

Comment 1 Peter Grasch 2012-12-03 23:49:19 UTC

This is a bug in Qt and apparently fixed in 4.8.4:
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-27237?focusedCommentId=184187&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-184187

The workaround proposed by Daniel Frömmel in the comments worked fine for me.
