Thanks!  I will look into this and see if it works for me.

    Ah, it's the same old blues; need to have qt(4)-devel packaged for qwt.
    
    (What I've tried is: Run Fedora as host, and have a podman (or docker,
    as if I care, replace "podman" by "docker" below) container
    
    marcus@workstation> podman run -it --rm centos:8)
    
    This is a very rough rundown of what I just did in a fresh CentOS 8
    container:
    
    [root@hash /]# dnf check-update; dnf install -y epel-release
    [root@hash /]# dnf update -y
    [root@hash /]# dnf install -y make rpm-build qt5-qt*-devel rpmdevtools
    ccache
    [root@hash /]# adduser mockbuild
    [root@hash /]# cd
    [root@hash ~]# curl -o qwt-6.1.3-11.fc31.src.rpm 
    
https://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/fedora/linux/releases/31/Everything/source/tree/Packages/q/qwt-6.1.3-11.fc31.src.rpm
    [root@hash ~]# rpm -i qwt-6.1.3-11.fc31.src.rpm
    
    I had to hunt down a lot of qt4 lines in the qwt.spec and remove them
    before this builds on CentOS 8. I have just attached a diff for a
    successfully building Qwt6 on the Bug that Vasil mentioned [2], so we
    can try that one; continue with
    
    [root@hash ~]# cd rpmbuild/SPECS
    [root@hash SPECS]# rm qwt.spec
    [root@hash SPECS]# curl -o qwt.spec 
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1636615
    [root@hash SPECS]# rpmbuild -bs qwt.spec
    [root@hash SPECS]# cd ../SRPMS
    [root@hash SRPMS]# rpmbuild -rb *.src.rpm
    … waaaait …
    
    This should, if the build succeeds (mine is still running), give you
    qwt6-qt5 packages. Install these! 
    
    [root@hash SRPMS]# cd ../RPMS/
    [root@hash RPMS]# ls */*
    noarch/qwt-doc-6.1.3-11.el8.noarch.rpm
    x86_64/qwt-qt5-6.1.3-11.el8.x86_64.rpm
    x86_64/qwt-qt5-devel-6.1.3-11.el8.x86_64.rpm
    x86_64/qwt-debugsource-6.1.3-11.el8.x86_64.rpm
    x86_64/qwt-qt5-debuginfo-6.1.3-11.el8.x86_64.rpm
    [root@hash RPMS]# cd x86_64
    [root@hash x86_64]# dnf install -y *
    
    Try to build GNU Radio now!
    
    
    Best regards,
    Marcus

getting qt-gui to enabled.  I am currently using the new distro CentOS 8, and I 
cannot find any ‘qwt’ packages.  Has anyone got gnuradio to build on CentOS 8 
yet?  I am very close to having all the modules I desire to be built and 
enabled.
