Re: [gentoo-user] /usr/bin/qtconfig is missing components
Just for fun: Open /usr/bin/emerge in a text editor and read the first 10 lines. Then run grep python-exec /usr/bin/* It basically is the same what qtchooser does: Forward a python script to the appropriate python version. 2018-07-23 13:20 GMT+03:00 Franz Fellner : > IMO the problem is that qtchooser acts as one point to select ALL > components for the default Qt, be it qt4 or qt5 (and possibly qt6 in 2020), > without checking if the tool really exists. > It just forwards the call to an execuatble with the same name inside the > qt-installation's bin dir.

Re: [gentoo-user] /usr/bin/qtconfig is missing components
IMO the problem is that qtchooser acts as one point to select ALL components for the default Qt, be it qt4 or qt5 (and possibly qt6 in 2020), without checking if the tool really exists. It just forwards the call to an execuatble with the same name inside the qt-installation's bin dir. (/usr/lib/qt...) qtconfig got removed and people (with DEs lacking qt integration) couldn't configure their fonts/colors/widget style/... anymore. So someone just started to develop a third-party config tool to fill the gap. qtchooser on the other hand is an official qt tool (at least it is hosted on qt's servers). I think that's why they don't just call qt5ct ;) And it would introduce a speacial case for just this one tool. 2018-07-23 13:05 GMT+03:00 Mick : > On Monday, 23 July 2018 10:09:38 BST Franz Fellner wrote: > > Yeah, stupid qtchooser ;) > > > > qtconfig got dropped, use x11-misc/qt5ct instead. > > Thanks Franz, qtconfig used to be installed by default with Qt.

Thanks Franz, qtconfig used to be installed by default with Qt. I wonder why x11-misc/qt5ct isn't treated the same, especially as qtconfig is left on the box and is symlinked to qtchooser now. :-/ -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Thanks Peter, thanks for pointing this out. I have the same symlink here. As I understand it qtchooser is used to select which qt version to run, if you have more than one. I'm looking for something to configure the widgets and font sizes in the version I am presently running. $ qtchooser -l 5 default qt5-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu qt5 I'm not sure why qtconfig is now a symlink to qtchooser, but this won't adjust settings as far as I can tell. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Re: [gentoo-user] /usr/bin/qtconfig is missing components
Yeah, stupid qtchooser ;) qtconfig got dropped, use x11-misc/qt5ct instead. 2018-07-23 12:02 GMT+03:00 Dale : > Mick wrote: > > When I run /usr/bin/qtconfig it complains about a missing > '/usr/lib64/qt5/bin/ > > qtconfig': > > > > $ /usr/bin/qtconfig > > qtconfig: could not exec '/usr/lib64/qt5/bin/qtconfig': No such file or > > directory > > > > $ locate qtconfig > > /usr/bin/qtconfig > > > > > > Which package is responsible for it and how can I get it back? > > > > > Does this help? > > root@fireball / # equery b /usr/bin/qtconfig > * Searching for /usr/bin/qtconfig ... > dev-qt/qtchooser-0_p20170803 (/usr/bin/qtconfig -> qtchooser) > dev-qt/qtchooser-0_p20170803 (/usr/bin/qtchooser) > root@fireball / # > > Dale > > :-) :-) > >

It looks as though the config program has been dropped from the current version. On this box, /usr/bin/qtconfig is a symlink to qtchooser, whose man page is not much help. I remember using qtconfig to tweak a few things, but I haven't needed to recently so it might have disappeared quietly without my noticing. Sorry not to be more help. -- Regards, Peter.
[gentoo-user] /usr/bin/qtconfig is missing components
When I run /usr/bin/qtconfig it complains about a missing '/usr/lib64/qt5/bin/ qtconfig': $ /usr/bin/qtconfig qtconfig: could not exec '/usr/lib64/qt5/bin/qtconfig': No such file or directory $ locate qtconfig /usr/bin/qtconfig Which package is responsible for it and how can I get it back? -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
