[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. wget http://perlqt4.googlecode.com/files/Alien-SmokeQt-4.6.0.4.tar.gz
2. tar -xvf Alien-SmokeQt-4.6.0.4.tar.gz && cd Alien-SmokeQt-4.6.0.4
3. perl Makefile.PL
4. make

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expecting compile to finish, but i see:

What version of PerlQt4 are you using? What version of Qt are you using? On
what operating system?

PerlQt4 version: 
0.96.0 (have not compiled this yet though)

Qt/Qmake version:
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.7.2 in /usr/lib

Operating System:
Arch Linux (Linux 2.6.37-ARCH x86_64)

Please provide any additional information below.

At first i attempted to compile perlqt4 until i came across missing cmake 
(smoke related) files. I then assumed that Alien-SmokeQt would need to be 
installed for perlqt4 to compile, so i attempted to compile that until reaching 
a compilation failure at 85%.

Also i get the same error when trying to compile with:
  cmake -DENABLE_SMOKE=on \
    -DENABLE_SMOKEKDE=off

Assuming phonon is kde related, shouldn't that stop it from compiling phonon 
objects?

Phonon is actually shipped with Qt: 
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/phonon-module.html

You can disable the build of the phonon bindings with
perl Makefile.PL -DWITH_Phonon=OFF
or
cmake -DWITH_Phonon=OFF

This is definitely a problem upstream, as others are experiencing the same 
issue.  A Google search for "Phonon::registerMetaTypes()" returns this: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebindings/+bug/746424

I was also able to reproduce the error while compiling the kdebindings-4.6.1 
release.  If you want to use Phonon with PerlQt, I can give instructions on how 
to patch the auto-generated phonon/x_10.cpp file.  We generally try to avoid 
that though, because it doesn't really solve the root of the problem.

Looks like this has been fixed:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=269943

So that will be included in the next Alien-SmokeQt release.

Thanks for the help and explanation!
However, now stuck at 99% (typical i know ;X) with this one:

< ... snip ... >

[ 98%] Built target smokeqwt

Having trouble working out what's going on there, the file definitely exists as 
far as i can tell.

Any idea? Thanks

The qimageblitz module didn't have the correct include search path set.  I've 
attached a patch to fix it.

You could disable QImageBlitz in the same way you disabled the Phonon build:
perl Makefile.PL -DWITH_Phonon=OFF -DWITH_QImageBlitz=OFF
cmake . -DWITH_Phonon=OFF -DWITH_QImageBlitz=OFF

Is this fixed now?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Yes this is fixed, thanks for the help.

If interested, i have created some PKGBUILDs for archlinux, they build 
correctly and have been working perfectly so far. I will probably update them 
with your patch later today.
