Debian and Ubuntu QT uses qt-copy ffs

Because Qt as released by TrollTech is what's supported, the fact that other distros go "Oooh, shiny patches", and apply everything in sight does not mean that gentoo should do the same.

The reason is quite simple. Qt is a big beast and, for a source distro, not very easy to maintain, especially when your trying to split it up (It really doesn't like that.). Rion might just have noticed this. Although I'm not a maintainer, I know this.
Adding "custom patches" from a 3rd Party means, that they have to be tested by the maintainers, which means a lot of compiling (Qt and programs depending on it) and testing. (Qt takes quite an amount of time to compile, as you may have noticed.

)
And no, the Qt-Copy patches are not "well tested", if they were, they were already integrated by Trolltech.

You can of course add the patches to your local installation - use portage's and paludis' bashrc support to autopatch - but keep in mind, that it is not supported by the Qt maintainers.

Rion: I've moved 4.4.0_rc1 to my overlay as requested.

For anyone interested in that, be aware that I'll be dropping the exceptions USE as soon as I have some free time, since that will allow me to use a very simple overlay eclass on top of the gentoo qt4-build.eclass.

Hello,

since a few days the compilation of the qt-snapshots are failing due to the following patch not being able to be applied:

Code: Select all

0220-no-x-recursion-in-xerrhandler.diff

In the qt-copy/patches-directory there is a file named DISABLED, where one should put in the numbers of the patches to be disabled, but it seems that the split-qt-ebuilds are ignoring this file.

So: How can I disable the aforementioned patch?

Anyway: Rion - thanks for providing an otherwise reliable way to install the snapshots!

EDIT: I just found out, that I could alter the qt4-build.eclass-file. But I think there could be a more convenient way to disable certain patches, because I would have to edit the eclass after each update.

Rion · Post by **Rion** » Sun Apr 20, 2008 3:14 pm

de_benjamin, fixed. thanks for report

EDIT: more convenient way is set environment variable. maybe i'll add this feature one day.

BTW: I just synced the overlay. Rion: Did you forget to add the ebuilds? There aren't any in the overlay.

I have one problem to use the overlay with paludis, i have this error

Code: Select all

 When performing sync action from command line:
  * When executing sync task:
  * When syncing repository 'qt_overlay':
  * Could not find repository 'qt_overlay' (paludis::NoSuchRepositoryError)
  * Looking for suggestions:
No suggestions found.

And my qt_overlay.conf

Code: Select all

location = ${ROOT}/usr/local/overlay/qt
sync =
#profiles = ${ROOT}/usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/2008.0
#eclassdirs = /usr/portage/eclass /usr/portage/local/layman/desktop-effects/eclass
#distdir = /mnt/Data/portage/distfiles
master_repository = gentoo
format = ebuild
names_cache = /var/empty
write_cache = /var/empty

The overlay's name is qt44dev.

Look in <repo>/profiles/repo_name for the repository name, the .conf filename and the name of the location directory has _nothing_ to do with the actual repository name.

What should I insert for "sync =" ?

Thanks

It works, thanks.

Rion,
if you have some spare time could you please make an ebuild for the PyQt-4.4 snapshots?
http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/stati ... ads/PyQt4/
Rion or anyone else who has the knowledge

That'd be very cool!

Thanks.

Here ya go

Code: Select all

cd $PORTDIR_OVERLAY/dev-python
svn co http://gimpel.ath.cx/svn/gimpel/dev-python/sip/
svn co http://gimpel.ath.cx/svn/gimpel/dev-python/PyQt4/

You maybe also need to #comment out following line 35 in /usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/common/g++.conf

Code: Select all

QMAKE_LFLAGS           += -Wl,--no-undefined

if you get a ton of undefined references.

You could also use the stable version in portage, it should compile this way too.

mikkoc · Post by **mikkoc** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 4:42 pm

Thanks gimpel,
unfortunately it doesn't compile for me.
I get the same error as when I try to compile it manually: a whole bounce of "undefined reference to..."
Does it compile for you?
Thanks

gimpel · Post by **gimpel** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 4:43 pm

Oops, yeah see the edit ^^ for compile fix.

mikkoc · Post by **mikkoc** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 4:55 pm

seems to be compiling fine now

thanks

Maintainer: Can you please add a pseudo "dbus" Use Flag to x11-libs/qt as strigi is requiring it and I have to fix it everytime.

Thanks

Does it work for you? It can't download files if I keep it to 20080505, and it fails applying a patch if I use regen to update it to today...

Eckos · Post by **Eckos** » Sat May 10, 2008 11:08 pm

im just searching for the 4.4.0 version because it will be a while before it hits the tree.

I don't think anyone is particularly willing to roll their own.

I was! http://dl.liveforge.org/var/gentoo/qt440-local.tar.gz
Although it is supposed to hit the tree sometime this week, I couldn't wait and editted the ebuilds and eclasses to work with the 4.4.0 release. I have this stuff in my local overlay, but you may use it as is. No guarantees...

I also bundled the ebuilds for the PyQt4 and sip snapshots of 20080507, and the latest release of eric. I may put PyQt4 and sip snapshots into berkano overlay actually, and eric should be updated in the tree. But anyway, there you have it. Have fun! :p
