I've been looking at transmission's update from 2.82 -> 2.82.
The main program seems to build OK, but the gtk window is ugly.
The qt client is another matter. It now requires Qt5. I built Qt5 after
a few false starts. Since I have Xorg in /opt/xorg, it didn't honor
pkgconfig in all cases and I needed to add:
pathappend $XORG_PREFIX/lib LIBRARY_PATH
pathappend $XORG_PREFIX/include C_INCLUDE_PATH
pathappend $XORG_PREFIX/include CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
to /etc/profile.d/xorg.sh. I also installed Qt5 in /opt/qt-5.1.0. The
configure command was:
./configure -confirm-license \
-opensource \
-release \
-prefix /opt/qt-5.1.0 \
-nomake demos \
-nomake examples \
-optimized-qmake \
-opengl es2 \
-xcb
All of the libraries are prefixed with libQt5, e.g. libQt5Gui.so. There
is a conflict with programs like qmake, so the order of the directories
in PATH is critical and changes if a program like KDE wants to link to
Qt4 or transmission which want Qt5.
Building the transmission qt client was not hard:
export PATH=/opt/qt-5.1.0/bin:$PATH
cd qt
qmake qtr.pro
make
INSTALL_ROOT=/tmp/transmission/install make install
The Qt5 interface for transmission is much nicer than the gtk interface.
The question is how to handle this in the book. Add another page for
Qt5? Just skip the Qt version of transmission? Something else?
