When you implement a program with Qt, -you can run it on the X Window System (Unix/X11), Apple Mac OS X, and -Microsoft Windows NT/9x/2000/XP by simply compiling the source code for -the platform you want. Qt is the basis for the KDE desktop environment, -and is also used in numerous commercial applications. - -This Qt 4 package is created to enable co-existence with Slackware -native Qt 3 package; developers should only remember to use versions -with "-qt4" suffix (like "qmake-qt4", "assistant-qt4", "designer-qt4", -etc.) of programs that exist under same names in Qt 3 (and developers -using CMake should be fine without any additional action, because stock -CMake is already looking for "qmake-qt4" first). - -Qt 4.5 comes with a new graphicssystem backend named "raster" which -outperforms the current standard one, but is not yet set as standard -because it might not work with all Qt4 applications out there currently. -You can set it as standard by passing RASTER=yes to the script. -Alternatively you can also set it on runtime for each application (if you -start it from the command line). Tests have shown that "normal" Qt4 apps -work well with it, whereas KDE 4.2 does not. - -Further you can enable the patches kde has included in its qt-copy -tree by passing QTCOPY=yes to the script. This fixes some issues which -make Qt apps nicer to use in kde(4). Descriptions of the individual -patches are available in the respective diff or patch files. If you -want to additionally *not* build with support for Phonon (as does qt in -Slackware-current at the moment), you can pass PHONON=no to the script. - -WARNING: This requires *a lot* of harddisk space available on build time. -Be sure to have at least 2GB of free diskspace. - -WARNING: Do not use upgradepkg to to upgrade from qt4-4.4.3 or earlier. -You should remove the old one and use installpkg for qt4 >= 4.5.0 in -that case. If you (accidentally or otherwise) ignore this advice, you -can safely remove any broken links in / and rm -rf /usr/lib/qt-4.4.3 -afterward :-) |
