When building the IDE you'd normally use make bigide or similar which

Hi,
This question / discussion is also very interesting to me (warning
possible dumb questions ahead).
I am still very vague on the widget type/set in my gnu/linux education.
I'm kub14.04, the ide then uses gtk2, all automatic.
If that's Kububtu, I'd expect it to be using KDE which implies you've
already got Qt. Assuming that you have- or can add- libqt4pas-dev then
you can build the Lazarus IDE etc. for Qt.
Ahhhh. Thank you for the insight! Yes, I can now compile qt as well as
gtk2.
So simple!!...when you know what is needed...
Just FYI for others that may be in my position:
This insight (using a qt version) just solved the problem I was having
with a later install version of kub 14.04 and kub 15.04 and 15.10 where
a simple progress bar from the comp. palette showed fine in my
development computer (earlier install v. of 14.04) but would NOT show in
those other two versions. Ouch.
Thanks again, you just solved a headache for me (but one needs to
install the libqt4pas5 library on the destination machines, even so
problem solved).
Having to have that library is unfortunate, but is a fundamental
requirement since Qt exposes a C++ API which is not directly usable by
FPC. If you start looking too closely at that point, you have to
question the wisdom of using non-mainstream tools... I really don't want
to go there.
In practice, it's also worth installing database -dev packages e.g.
libpq-dev on user-level machines, since it is these that typically set
up a fixed-name symlink that avoids an app having to search for various
possibilities. So on one of the older machines around here I've got
/usr/lib/libpq.a
/usr/lib/libpq.so -> libpq.so.5.1
/usr/lib/libpq.so.5 -> libpq.so.5.1
/usr/lib/libpq.so.5.1
while on a newer one:
/usr/lib/libpq.a
/usr/lib/libpq.so -> libpq.so.5.4
/usr/lib/libpq.so.5 -> libpq.so.5.4
/usr/lib/libpq.so.5.4
That's a distro problem, not an FPC or Lazarus one.
