the ones in my initial reply. pick your choice. > I have tried to rebuild the same for Ubuntu (arm) as > done for Harmattan, and everything looks alright. Cannot say I can reproduce > this. I have no idea which environment you have or build into but for sure download qt4-x11 from any official archive (Debian or Ubuntu), drop the patch, and build in a clean pbuilder/cowbuilder. As a matter of fact, the debug packages are empty. > More to the point: even if it turns out a bug in certain cases, it is a > false behaviour to always fail.

Using the developer mode isn't an option. _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
