The actual german proverb is: "Lieber ein Ende mit Schrecken als Schrecken ohne
Ende."
The closest translation I found at
http://www.phrasen.com/uebersetze,Better-an-end-with-terror-than-terror-without-an-end,2983,e.html
sais:
"Better an end with terror than terror without an end."
Der Schrecken (noun) = terror, horror, fright etc
But I agree that "pain" is a better fit in this context ;)
To bring it a little back ontopic:
If the whole purpose was to deploy a given application on Linux (rather than,
say, compile Qt 5 and install it under /usr/lib "for general use"), then
A) I could compile Qt myself (-> make sure that no existing system plugins from
e.g. KDE are pulled in, which on their turn could pull in an older/different Qt
version)
B) Deploy that Qt compile with my application
(/opt/MyApp/[bin|lib|resources|...] - or wherever would be the appropriate
location for "application bundles" on Linux these days)
Yes, "duplicated /shared/ libs! Not the proper place to install!" - I hear you
:) But I am really thinking "Mac Bundles" here (where the appropriate libraries
to pick up are "hard-coded" after (during?) link time into each binary/shared
lib with the "nametool" on OS X).
That should work on Linux, too - right?
Cheers,
Oliver
