KDE4 apps blink?

2018-10-09 Thread Richard L. Hamilton
As a temporary measure, I downloaded a prebuilt MacVim.app from Macupdate. It works, but the window _blinks_. Same with the kshisen app that I got built once I followed a suggestion how to get libkdegames built. They're not even using the same copy of the Qt/KDE libraries, since the downloade

MacVim, installed binary port, but still blinks

2018-10-10 Thread Richard L. Hamilton
It runs, but blinks. There's a workaround: start MacVim, and uncheck Preferences -> Advanced -> Use Core Text renderer Then quit MacVim, and when you start it, it shouldn't blink anymore. I gather that a better fix is pending upstream.

To me it sounds almost like back when xorg-libXt needed to be linked with a -flat-namespace option if one was going to use openmotif with it. But as I recall, the current version of open motif isn't supposed to need that anymore But it could still be a building or linking issue, something to d

libkdegames doesn't build yet, due to some changes in build procedures apparently; there is a ticket, and hopefully there will shortly be a proper fix. Having said that, with a jury-rigged way around that (not correct, but it works), all the KDE4 games would build. But they have display issues
