Bug#572821: freemat: FTBFS with Qt 4.6.x

[Ilya Barygin]

Package: freemat
Version: 4.0-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu lucid ubuntu-patch

In Ubuntu, we've applied the attached patch to achieve the following:

  * Remove *.moc.cpp files on clean, they don't work with current Qt and 
    cause FTBFS.

We thought you might be interested in doing the same. 

The package contains moc files build for Qt 4.5.2 and fails to build 
with Qt 4.6.x currently present in Ubuntu Lucid:

[  3%] Building CXX object libs/libGraphics/CMakeFiles/Graphics.dir/HandleUIControl.moc.cpp.o
/build/buildd/freemat-4.0/libs/libGraphics/HandleUIControl.moc.cpp:14:2: error: #error "This file was generated using the moc from 4.5.2. It"
/build/buildd/freemat-4.0/libs/libGraphics/HandleUIControl.moc.cpp:15:2: error: #error "cannot be used with the include files from this version of Qt."
/build/buildd/freemat-4.0/libs/libGraphics/HandleUIControl.moc.cpp:16:2: error: #error "(The moc has changed too much.)"

So it's not an immediate problem for Debian, but will cause a genuine 
FTBFS when Qt is upgraded. Perhaps upstream shouldn't ship moc files at 
all.
