Hi all, I've got the latest portage available, V3.4.1, Qt Creator installed. When I go to start up creator, I get a full screen window frame popping up, some menu and icon bars around the edge and then, instead of the text edit pane, I get a "clear" window, I can see the screens wallpaper, and three dialogues popping up. These dialogues are titled "Welcome Mode Load Error" and look like the top paragraph of the dialogue shown here: http://tinyurl.com/o9ax8ml - yes I know this is for a windows bug, but the dialogue is the same.
I've tried to track down on the Qt site what the minimal Qt requirements for Creator are but that was useless - can't find it anywhere. I then had a look at the Creator ebuild and it says: # minimum Qt version required 38 QT_PV="5.3.2:5" This is where it gets interesting. I have not made the jump to Qt 5, but I can remember a large Qt update recently that had "5" bobbing past occasionally during the compile process. It was something that I meant to follow up but haven't. Doing an "eix qt | grep Installed" reveals that I have a mix of 4.8.7 and 5.4.2. Doing "emerge --info | grep qt" reveals only "qt3support" and "qt4". No mention of "qt5". As this is to do with OpenGl, but I actually suspect this mismatch of Qt, "eselect opengl list" says nvidia is selected. Re-emerging nvidia-drivers also says: *************** * >>> SetUID: [chmod go-r] /opt/bin/nvidia-modprobe ...[ ok ] Switching to nvidia OpenGL interface... done * Removing x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-352.21 from moduledb. Switching to nvidia OpenGL interface... done * Updating module dependencies for 4.0.5-gentoo ...[ ok ] * Adding module to moduledb. Switching to nvidia OpenGL interface... done Switching to nvidia OpenCL interface... done * USE=tools controls whether the nvidia-settings application * is installed. If you would like to use it, enable that * flag and re-emerge this ebuild. Optionally you can install * media-video/nvidia-settings *************** So it appears OpenGl is good to go. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can get back to a "pure" Qt4 setup? I've just had a look in /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc and there is a qt5 in there. Should I do a "-qt5" in make.conf and a new "emerge -NuD world"? Regards, Andrew p.s. Whoever looks after the wiki, https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:X86/Working/USE the section "What USE flags exist" has two links to supposedly online description - no they don't.
