DBDesigner Ebuild

April 7, 2008 · Posted in Gentoo · 3 Comments 

I ve said in the past that Electrical and Computer Engineering Department @ University of Patras is deeply in love with Microsoft and close-source software. So every program we use on every lab is closed source.
In this semester we have “Databases” labs and we use DBDesigner4 for Database Designer. Unfortunately it is closed source but there is a .tar.gz for Linux purposes. Of course the linux edition is full of bugs but… anyway
There wasn’t a Gentoo Ebuild since they remove it in November 2007 ( i think ) so i wrote mine

But there is an issue

When you try to excecute startdbd you might get the following error

/opt/DBDesigner4/DBDesigner4: symbol lookup error: /opt/DBDesigner4/Linuxlib/libqt.so.2: undefined symbol: XftPatternGetString

The solution is:

cd /opt/DBDesigner4/Linuxlib

rm libqt.so.2

ln -s libborqt-6.9-qt2.3.so libqt.so.2 (already done this on ebuild thanks to Rufinus)

You are done
