Hi,
I encountered a similar problem which was caused by not having the
correct Qt version
installed. You definitely need to install Qt version 3 and not version 2.
As I remarked a while a go in a mail to one of the developers, an
excellent alternative to using the
Qt container classes would be to use STL. I would definitely go for
that. Using STL instead of Qt
would make it also much easier to set up the environment on new
platforms for porting taskjuggler.
Considering also that a specific Qt version is required instead of just
any version also indicates
to me that the Qt container classes are still not that stable so that in
the future we can also
expect impacts on taskjuggler (which would require anyone who wants to
compile taskjuggler
to also upgrade their Qt version).
Would there be any objections if "certain volunteers" would replace the
Qt container classes by
STL in taskjuggler?
Cheers
Erik
