I don't know about phobe2. I grabbed the latest QT package from Rawhide
(qt-3.1.1-4). The base is qt-x11-free-3.1.1.tar.bz2 . There is also a
Xinerama tarball (is it used, by default?) and redhat's own default qtrc .
BW: the qtrc includes the following gem:
libraryPath=/root/.kde/lib/kde3/plugins/:/usr/lib/kde3/plugins/
(That package was built by root, aparantly)
There are numerous minor patches done in the prep phase itself not using
patches. This is natural: QT is a package that is supposed to work on many
platform, not only LSB linux. QT tries to be more "self-contained" (to be
easier to build) , and this is the standard with any (big enough) library.
A distro would like QT to build with as many system libraries and as few
built-in libraries, as this results in less (binary) code and probably
faster and smaller (at runtime) programs.
The patches there:
qt-3.0.5-nodebug.patch (651 bytes)
Seems to remove two warnings (to make the code less "scary"?)
qt-3.0.5-xim.patch (756 bytes)
Seems to change the defaults for two config options. Related to CJK
below, I guess
qt-3.1.0-makefile.patch (449 bytes)
Don't build the subdirs 'tutorial' and 'examples'
qt-x11-free-3.1.0-assistant.patch (402 bytes)
A small patch I don't understand: Patch
qt-x11-free-3.1.0/tools/assistant/lib/lib.pro to add
!force_static:!win32: {
CONFIG -= staticlib
CONFIG += dll
}
Maybe something "to get it built"?
qt-x11-free-3.1.0-designer.patch (637 bytes)
Patch to qt-x11-free-3.1.0/tools/designer/designer/designer.pro .
Similar to the one above?
qt-x11-free-3.1.0-editor.patch (370 bytes)
Patch to qt-x11-free-3.1.0/tools/designer/editor/editor.pro
This time:
-CONFIG += qt warn_on staticlib
-CONFIG -= dll
+CONFIG += qt warn_on release dll
Is there anything bad in this?
qt-x11-free-3.1.0-fontdatabase.patch (2028 bytes)
I'm not sure I understand this patch correctly, but it seems that it is
intended to give Xft fonts priority over leegacy X fonts, and also read
some aliases by defualt (?).
qt-x11-free-3.1.0-header.patch (411 bytes)
Rems-out printing of a certain header in
qt-x11-free-3.1.0/src/moc/moc.y
qt-x11-free-3.1.0-lib64.patch (1284 bytes)
Patches qt-x11-free-3.1.0/config.tests/unix/checkavail to replace
*/lib (at least on certain places) with */lib64 . Probablly required
for one of RH's 64ibt platforms.
qt-x11-free-3.1.1-ansi.patch (354 bits)
A smallish ansi-c++ purity patch, I guess.
qt-x11-free-3.1.1-monospace.patch (1306 bytes)
I don't understand this patch. Seems to modify the definition of what
is a monospaced font. Either this was a real problem, or this is
intended to work around some broken fonts. No useful comments there.
qt-x11-free-3.1.1-qmlined.patch (318 bytes)
A patch to qt-x11-free-3.1.1/src/compat/qmlined.h to #include
qtmultilineedit.h . Path untested by QT?
qt-x11-free-3.1.1-qmotif.patch (922 bytes)
make qmotif the default style, and remove a message
"QMotif requires a Qt/Enterprise edition"
One of the changelog entries:
* Wed Nov 13 2002 Than Ngo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 3.1.0-1
- update to 3.1.0
- adjust some patch files for 3.1.0
- clean up specfile
- remove some Xft2 patch files, which are now in 3.1.0
- add qwidget_x11.cpp.diff from Trolltech
- install qt in %%{_libdir}/qt-3.1 (bug #77706)
- don't use rpath
- enable large file support
- use system Xinerama
- remove unneeded cups patch file
- fix to build against new XFree86
Providing quality QT packages takes patching.
If that scares anybody, you should take a look at the XFree tarball. This
one suffers from an over-dose of patches ;-)
