I'm using a VirtualBox machine (32 bit) to build BLFS to comply with the Linux Standard Base (all the packages mentioned in the book (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/7.8/), with required and recommended, but trying to avoid optional packages). As the title says, I can't get BLFS 7.8 to completely build Qt 4.8.7.

According to the BLFS 7.8 book, it's supposed to build the following:

Installed Programs:
assistant, designer, lconvert, linguist, lrelease, lupdate, moc, pixeltool, qcollectiongenerator, qdbuscpp2xml, qdbus, qdbusviewer, qdbusxml2cpp, qdoc3, qhelpconverter, qhelpgenerator, qmake, qmlplugindump, qmlviewer, qt3to4, qtconfig, qttracereplay, rcc, uic3, uic, xmlpatterns, and xmlpatternsvalidator

Installed Libraries:
libQtUiTools.a, libQt3Support.so, libQtCLucene.so, libQtCore.so, libQtDBus.so, libQtDeclarative.so, libQtDesignerComponents.so, libQtDesigner.so, libQtGui.so, libQtHelp.so, libQtMultimedia.so, libQtNetwork.so, libQtOpenGL.so, libQtScript.so, libQtScriptTools.so, libQtSql.so, libQtSvg.so, libQtTest.so, libQtWebKit.so, libQtXmlPatterns.so, and libQtXml.so, and several plugins under /opt/qt4/imports and /opt/qt4/plugins

It builds all the libraries, but not all of the programs: qdbuscpp2xml, qdbus, qdbusviewer, qdbusxml2cpp, qmake, xmlpatterns, and xmlpatternsvalidator are not built.

Since most of the programs left out have dbus in their names, I checked systemctl and the result is the following:

Does anyone have any idea of what might be wrong?
If you need more information, please let me know.
Thanks.

From what I can tell the DBus tools should be built and installed when DBus support is enabled in the Qt libs; probably the same applies to the XML tools.

When you execute the configure command it provides a summary of the applied configuration, but that scrolls out quite quickly before the process exits. To see it you'll have to scroll up the console output, or pipe it into a file; I recommend to leave out the make call until you're sure you got the configuration right. There you should be able to see which features are en-/disabled, and perhaps get a clue why not.

For additional configure options to force features see

./configure --help

This should give you a first hint where to start, and what you can try out to solve the issue.

As suggested by @Murphy, I ran ./config and got the following results:

I don't know why some modules (like QtDBus) are note building, when they clearly should, and others (like GStreamer) are not even configured to be built, despite having it installed in the system.

Any suggestions will be welcome. Thanks.
