 Posted: Tue Feb 10, 2004 9:31 pm Post subject: Qt 3.3 upgrade |
 |
|
Yes, it's now available (~x86 for now). It works pretty well here.
Amongst other things, it now includes support for ipv6 (using the ipv6 use flag). With this support turned on, Qt will continue running like it used to. With this support turned off, Qt also continues running like it used to, but it generates some binary incompatible plugin modules.
This means that libraries that were linked against an older Qt's plugin system will most likely not work. They will need to be re-emerged.
For most people this will be kdelibs and kdeartwork. You'll know you need to do this if your styles in KDE don't work like they used to after upgrading Qt.
Hope this helps.

I'm confused. Presumably you meant that the other way around - if you exclude ipv6 it will behave just as before; if you include it you will create some binary incompatibilities due to the change.
Or am I missing the point?
Also, if you compile the 'incompatible' version (whether that is with or without ipv6), does recompiling anything that depends on Qt resolve these incompatibilities? I.e. would I need to rebuild KDE for example? |

| I said it correctly - you have to enable ipv6 to keep compatibility - turning it off (which happens if you don't have the ipv6 use flag) creates an incompatible module. |

| Note that the only incompatibility that we've noticed so far is for style plugins - that is, you don't have recompile all of kde, just kdelibs and kdeartwork. |

I re-emerged kdelibs and kdeartwork and I have the styles and such back, but styles seems to be broken. If I choose plastik, all of the widgets look like keramik. Using anything else (SGI, Motif, etc.) all seems to work fine. The window decoration is plastik but all of the window widgets arent't. If I change Control Center to plastik, the Control Center itself looks like plastik until you close it. Every other window and Control Center when you re-open it looks like Keramik widgets.

Hmm. the recompile worked fine for me here. Sat in KDE and remerged kdelibs and kdeartwork, logged out (with the ugly theme still applied) and then logged back in and changed back to thinkeramik, and everything is fine. I tested plastik as you mentioned and that seemed fine too. |

One ponders rebuilding QT with the ipv6 use flag vs. rebuiding kdelibs and kdeartwork  |

Thanks for clearing that up. I asked because it went against my intuition. |

Just to add my experiences to the mix. 
Upgraded to qt-3.3 without ipv6. Everything in kde still works without re-emerging. YMMV. |

Carlo pointed out that re-emerging kdeaddons fixed this problem for him, so you may want to try that as well. |

it screwed up my licq-qt tray/slit icon. the icon has distorted and/or cut off graphics (depends on the skin you set) and refuses to dock. i've recompiled it, didn't help. i'm using fluxbox and no KDE.

No problems here with qt-3.3 and kde-3.2. I've even modified the ebuild to respect CFLAGS. Tried two machines. One with "-march=pentium4 -O2" the other with "-march=athlon -O2". No problems so far.
Why recent qt ebuilds no longer modify qt to respect CFLAGS? |

This is it!
Now I reemerged kdelibs and am going to emerge kile-1.6.1.
Thanks! |

Hrmm.. this seems to be opening a can of worms now. I can't rebuild kdeaddons due to the following error:

I tried re-emerging gtk and it seems to be just fine. The file in reference is a perfectly fine libtool archive. I compiled it with
| Code: | | USE="-xmms" emerge kdeaddons |
and everything seems to have build fine. Another bug or is my system messed up? I've rebuilt gtk+ and libtool and both seems to be working find and other test rebuilds of gtk+-based things seemed to be fine. I'm also seeing some odd warnings I've never seen before such as
| Code: |
*** Warning: Linking the shared library noatunpitchablespeed.la against the loadable module
*** libnoatunarts.so is not portable!
|
This again seems to only be associated with KDE building.
Okay... I'll stop rambling now... |

After upgrading to QT 3.3, I'm having, so far, 2 noticeable problems.
1. My KMenu is a little too skinny.
http://ucsu.colorado.edu/~woodcm/kmenu.png
You can see that the right side cuts off too much. The arrows have their tips chopped off.
2. Tooltips for the taskbar pop up after I move the mouse off. For example... If I click on the taskbar entry for Firefox and then move the mouse away, the tooltip will pop up after the mouse leaves, and stay there until I put the mouse over it again, or click the tooltip itself.
I've reemerged kdelibs, kdebase, and kdeartwork so far. What else should I try? |

I can confirm problem number 1. I'm not sure if anything can be done about it (I recompiled all my KDE packages and it didn't change it). |

there are problems with umlauts and other special chars now and i really can't dock LICQ any longer. it went smoothly into the slit before 3.3, but now the dock-icon is just floating around on a transparent background with the titlebar "LicqWharf", which will totally distort the icon if i turn it off. what did they do to qt???

So which is the better solution, remerge kdelibs and kdeartwork or QT with the ipv6 flag?

I'll have to throw in my towel as well - got the exact same problem described by rndpk in the above quote. What bugs me(literally), is that I've tried recompiling the entire KDE 3.2 suit and qt 3.3 with "ipv6" as well. Still no luck with choosing plastik as my preferred style in Control Center. I get the distinct feeling it can't find the style and thus reverts to keramik, this being the default(?) style of 3.2.
Here's the bugzilla-entry: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41041
PS. *Cough* My live-in's uncle is head of staff at Trolltech - a phone call and a couple of angry barks might fix this problem...

How did you get kdebindings to completely compile in the first place? I haven't ever been able to get it to compile. |

I have the same problem. However in my system (KDE3.2) the arrows are not cut short, but they are unavailable. Before reemerging, the K menu seemed really awkward and stretched vertically. Moreover the plastik theme didn't seem to work either.
So I reemerged kdelibs and kdeartwork as somebody had advised. Now the vertical size of kicker is back to normal. But...

There is a gap between the pop-up menus.
I noticed that apps run faster though, as a last solace.[/url] |

did anyone notice this:
| Code: |
Semi-Transparent Windows
Support for semi-transparent top-level widgets on Mac OS X and Windows 2000/XP has been added. To make a widget semi-transparent, call QWidget::setWindowOpacity() with an opacity level between 0.0 and 1.0, for example:
widget->setWindowOpacity(0.5);

sounds neat
