Here are the current results of my inspection ;) * linking against __ti7QWidget fails :
qt is written in C++. C++ compilers use name mangling to map symbols to unique identifiers. A tool called c++filt exists, which allows us to demangle such names. Try c++filt __ti7QWdiget to see what kaffe wants to link to. In the above case, it turns out kaffe wants to link to the type_info node of the class QWidget. This happens because kaffe's makefile.am for QT has a bug: it sets necessary flags like -fno-rtti as CFLAGS instead of CXXFLAGS, so they don't get picked up by the C++ compiler. I'll have a simple fix for that soon, I just need to test it on the different Qt 2/3/embedded releases to be sure it works. The interim solution is to make kaffe with make CXX="g++ -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" * linking against kaffevmDebugMask fails : This symbol comes from kaffe/kaffevm/debug.c . It is only defined if NDEBUG is not defined and DEBUG is defined. By default, neither symbol is defined, so all DBG macros, and kaffevmDebugMask are undefined. Qt, on the other hand, defines QT_DEBUG and DEBUG. This leads qt-awt to try to link against kaffevmDebugMask, which does not exist. The interim solution is to configure kaffe with --enable-debug. As the long term solution, I'll post a patch that renames kaffe's DEBUG define to KAFFE_VMDEBUG, making such collisions unlikely in the future. * I've done what you say, I've set QTDIR to the qt-embedded directory where the fonts are, I've updated LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include libqte and it still does not work! I get garbage on the screeen! Ah yes. qt-embedded doesn't really appreciate dual use of the framebuffer as the linux console and QWS screen. So you'll have to redirect stdout and stderr to some file when you run kaffe with qte. following the above directions, I've got kaffe to work with qt-embedded, and ran the TextEditor awt test successfully (as far as the qt awt is implemented, it still has its own share of bugs). Jim Huang is working on improving the qt awt support for Qtopia, and I hope others will help out with the code as well. the code needs some cleanup, there are some quite annoying bugs that need to be fixed, etc. cheers, dalibor topic __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
