QTDIR not set properly

[Robert Persson]

I tried to run make xconfig in my linux source directory, but I get the following:

root@zebedee:/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.17# make xconfig
  CHECK qt
*
* Unable to find the QT installation. Please make sure that
* the QT development package is correctly installed and
* either install pkg-config or set the QTDIR environment
* variable to the correct location.
*
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `scripts/kconfig/.tmp_qtcheck', needed by `scripts/kconfig/qconf.o'. Stop.
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2

pkg-config is installed.
qt3-dev-tools is installed.
I am currently experiencing this bug in edgy, but I had it in dapper as well.

I got exactly the same problem!

I'm using Ubuntu 7.0.4.
Compiling kernel-source-2.6.21.1

plbraga@xluna:~/testing/snapgear_gaisler/snapgear-p33a/linux-2.6.21.1$ make xconfig
  CHECK qt
*
* Unable to find the QT installation. Please make sure that
* the QT development package is correctly installed and
* either install pkg-config or set the QTDIR environment
* variable to the correct location.
*
(...)

I installed qt3-dev-tools and pkg-config

[PBraga (pls-braga)]

just install:

        sudo apt-get install libqt3-mt-dev

----
I found on linux-2.6.21.1/scripts/kconfig/Makefile the way it detects qt.
then I checked the same way:

plbraga:~$ pkg-config --exists qt && echo ok

and

pkg-config --exists qt-mt && echo ok

and found that none was returning true!!

You can also just run make gconfig.
