Title: QT 4 for TC 5
Post by: rperkins on February 03, 2014, 10:51:28 PM

Hello

Is there something I can do to use the qt extensions on tc 4.x on tc 5.x ?
I was able to compile my needed program on tc 4.x but the extensions are not on tc 5.x
I saw another thread about moving to qt 5.x  .  I'm not concerned with that.  the version of qt used on tc 4.x meets my needs

Thanks for all your help.  I am starting to be able to get around in TC :)

As mentioned elsewhere in these forums, qt-4.x will need re-compiling for tc-5.x - did you pm the maintainer to check if he's willing to do so?

Thanks for your reply.  I had tried to do a search of the forums before asking, but I did another search today and realize I missed several posts.  Sorry about that.

I went ahead and PM'ed the author of the QT libs, requesting to have them updated.

Hello,

as the maintainer of the Qt 4 package for TC 4.x, I wanted to have ported stuff over to TC5 months ago. Since then, I was lacking the time to set up a TC5 based development (virtual) machine. My build scripts are available can be acquired using

Code: [Select]

git clone git://git.svolli.org/tinycore.gitI surely can help anyone who wants to take over, but I'll still be too busy for the next two months to setup anything new.

Greetings,
SvOlli

Thanks for your reply and also for making the earlier versions of Qt for Tc.   They've been a lot of help to me.

Hi
I gave this a quick try in hopes that the rest of what I need has been packaged for tc5.

Just a FYI for anyone going down this path
With regards to trying to use these build scripts to build qt4 on tc5
the URL to download the src has changed .  The directory stucture is different
I was able to hack that to make the download work.
the unpacking worked fine
the configure failed due to changes in the original url and/or the way the tarball is now packaged.
...gave up...

Note I didnt try any of the other packages besides qt-4.x.
The scripts look well setup and could be some great timesavers.
I just didnt put more time into it because I got tc 4.7 working for my needs and I wasnt sure that I wouldn't have other lacking tcz in tc5.x

thanks again for your work
