Indeed. > Hmm. Any more ideas? Is it just that I still have Qt 4.4? I see that > since r10537, Qt 4.5 is needed to even compile trunk: Not intentionally. However it's also best not to mess with the translation files unless you have 4.5, and our graphic rendering speed is really bad unless you have 4.5, so we're leaning so heavily in that direction I'm not sure if it's worth preserving backward compatibility with older versions at this point. I could probably just ifdef this one thing out and ignore it for now, because we probably don't even use setOptions anyway. On balance though, I'm not that interested in making sure I didn't break something for 8.04 now that I've finally upgraded myself. Jaunty has 4.5.0, and for that matter I was already using a self-compiled Qt 4.5 on LTS. (Rosegarden copes quite well with a copy installed to /usr/local, and I pretty much built it with straight default configure options. The only bad thing was it took blarking forever to build.) > I'm reluctant to upgrade my Ubuntu 8.04 LTS to anything newer, but maybe > it's a price I'll have to pay to keep up with the bleeding edge. Are you > intending to support Qt 4.4? I was until my computer went tits up. I couldn't see reinstalling LTS on bleeding edge new hardware, so I've no longer got an old distro around to help test backwards compatibility. That makes maintaining it a less attractive option than it was. On the other hand, I definitely DO NOT recommend that you upgrade 8.04. If you do anything, grab a copy of Qt 4.5.0 and compile it yourself. It's not hard to do, just time-consuming. Stay away from any Ubuntu newer than 8.04. Intrepid was bad, so I skipped it. Jaunty is worse, not better. Everything is really fscked up right now. I haven't had this bad of an experience with things being broken in many years, and the whole experience has been very disheartening. If this keeps up, Linux is doomed. I mean I've been patiently answering questions and making apologies for almost 10 years, and I'm really very close to just losing my last shred of hope. -- D.
