first off...if you don't know why it was compiling without jpeg then you
really shouldn't be compiling your own packages. :)
Now..so that I"m not totally bashing... :) ... QT doesn't autoconfigure
itself like other packages do...it does a very *very* minimalistic configration
based off of some basic configuration options in the configure script. For
the most part you have to tell it what you want...and by default it doesn't
build with mng,jpeg, etc.. support. If you had read the README's you would
have figured that out....for example:
"If you want to enable built-in GIF image reading support in Qt, run
configure with the "-gif" argument before compiling." - README
"This will configure the Qt library for your machine. Note that
GIF support is turned off by default. Run ./configure -help
to get a list of configuration options. Read PLATFORMS for a
list of supported platforms." - INSTALL
./configure -help
Usage: ./configure [-debug] [-release] [-shared] [-static] [-gif] [-no-gif] \
[-sm] [-no-sm] [-thread] [-no-thread] [-qt-zlib] [-system-zlib] \
[-qt-libpng] [-system-libpng] [-no-jpeg] [-system-jpeg] \
[-xft ] [ -no-xft ] \
[-no-<module>] [-kde] [-Istring] [-Lstring] [-Rstring] [-lstring]
The defaults (*) are usually acceptable. Here is a short explanation of
each option:
[ ... ] (removing alot of unneeded options for you
* -no-xft............. Do not compile with X11 FreeType (AntiAliased text)
support
-xft ............... Compile with X11 FreeType (AntiAliased text support).
Requires XFree86 4.0.2 compiled with Xft support as
well.
* -no-thread ......... Do not compile with Threading Support
-thread ............ Compile with Threading Support
* -qt-zlib ........... Use the zlib bundled with Qt.
-system-zlib ....... Use a zlib from the operating system
http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib
* -qt-libpng ......... Use the libpng bundled with Qt.
-system-libpng ..... Use a libpng from the operating system.
See http://www.libpng.org/pub/png
* -no-mng ............ Do not compile in MNG I/O support.
-system-libmng ..... Use libmng from the operating system.
See http://www.libmng.com
* -no-jpeg ........... Do not compile in JPEG I/O support.
-system-jpeg ....... Use jpeglib from the operating system.
See http://www.ijg.org
* -no-nas-sound ...... Do not compile in NAS sound support.
-system-nas-sound .. Use NAS libaudio from the operating system.
