I'm trying to install qt3 on Panther. I just installed the latest fink.
I first installed qt3 via apt-get. however the binaries apparently were link against fink's freetype2 not Apple's. Designer works only if I set
Errm, AFAICT they were well linked against freetype2 from /usr/X11R6/, but against an old version, corresponding to xfree86-4.2.1 or Apple's X11 beta, compatibility version of libfreetype.6.dylib was 6.2.0, it is 6.3.0 now (whatever "compatibility" may mean in this context).
I think the qt3 packages in the 10.3 bindist will have to be replaced.
Actually, the problem is that XFree86 was disabling a flag that provides backwards-compatible symbols for freetype, so a libfreetype from XFree86 4.2 (including Apple's X11) has some symbols that a libfreetype from XFree86 4.3 doesn't.
I've notified the XFree86 team about this and it's already fixed in CVS, a future XFree86 4.3.1 release or the upcoming 4.4 release will both solve the problem.
In the meantime, Martin is right, qt3 needs to be rebuilt.
See an earlier thread about qt3 upgrade problems on fink-devel. I solved this by removing qt3 and qt3-dev first before compiling qt3.
...and also needs to be fixed. ;)
I'll be looking into this tonight and hopefully have a fix in CVS shortly.
