Can QT4 be rebuilt with SSL support?
-
also qt3support and glib support would allow us make more extensions
qt4.6 is released last month maybe we should build a new extension named qt4.6 keeping qt4.5 ?
if it is ok i can do that ;D
-
I sent a PM to the creator of the qt-4.5 extensions almost a month ago requesting an extra module and have not gotten a response, so if you are willing to make some qt-4.6 extensions Arslan S, that would be great. FWIW, I would like to have the qt-opengl module available in the repos. Thanks :)
Edit: I had a response in my PM inbox today from SvOlli concerning the qt-opengl, so maybe he will see this and reply with his thoughts.
-
I had a "conversation" with SvOlli yesterday about getting a qt4 package update that included the accessability option. He is still in "the loop" so I think we should give him the chance to respond to the current requests. In case he will not be able to meet these requests I can contribute with help if needed (I do already have build scripts in place).

yes i agree
also i suggest renaming it to just qt4 or libqt4 instead of qt-4.5 or qt-4.6
-
Agree on changing the name.
qt4 would be appropriate (it is much more than lib(s)) .

I haven't seen this thread until now, so here let me throw in my two cents:

qt3 support is in now, but I don't see where building with glib depends is needed. I try to keep the (base-)package as small as possible on both, size and dependencies. Tinycore is supposed to be lean and I don't want to throw in more bloat as possible. Which brings me to the next topic.
qt4.6 is released last month maybe we should build a new extension named qt4.6 keeping qt4.5 ?
I know that and I use it on my desktop machine already. Qt 4.6 introduces some new cool features like the finite state machines and an animation framework. This will enlarge the base package for features that no-one uses right now. I also found a first bug in Qt 4.6, so I would suggest a switch, when there's the first package that needs a Qt 4.6.x. By that time, I guess there might be already 4.6.1 out.
FWIW, I would like to have the qt-opengl module available in the repos.
That's not possible in an easy way. Tinycore lacks the complete 3D framework that Qt depends upon. Provide me with that framework an I'll provide you with qt-opengl extension.
if it is ok i can do that ;D
My complete effort on Tinycore is available via git. I introduced my build environment here (http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=2056.0). Feel free to use it to hack whatever you want with it, I've integrated almost everything I've gotten so far on responses.
Agree on changing the name.

I don't think that's a good idea. Several other packages, like Opera, depend on qt-4.5-base. Changing the name needs to change all these files as well... And I guess that will cause at least one "mysterious" error. So I'll suggest we'll do the renaming once Tinycore has gone 3.x and a new extensions repository will be set up. If I see how fast roberts keeps putting out new releases, I'll guess it won't be too long. ;D
Greetings,

arora web browser (or qt-webkit) needs glib2 support for flashplayer to work
http://code.google.com/p/arora/wiki/Flash (http://code.google.com/p/arora/wiki/Flash)
glib2 is a lib sooner or later you have to install i think
but never mind we already have a lot of browsers, i just like new and different things
-
Would something like qt-3.3.8b-xorg (but for qt4) be wanted, or is that something different?
-
That's not possible in an easy way. Tinycore lacks the complete 3D framework that Qt depends upon. Provide me with that framework an I'll provide you with qt-opengl extension.
Something missing from the Xorg extension?
-
I found the time to include support for glib and ssl into the Qt 4.5 package, but I'm lacking the time to test it. The tcz's are available as a tarball at:
[^thehatsrule^: removed - extensions policy]
Please test them and let me know if they work as you intend.

tested with arora flashplayer is working now thanks ;)

Looks like everything is working now, no more compilation errors

Something missing from the Xorg extension?
Finally I got the time to double-check: Xorg seems to be fine, but the OpenGL implementation depends on libGL.so.1, which is provided by Mesa which I can't find in the repository. With that missing Qt's configure reports that all OpenGL tests failed and OpenGL cannot be built.
-
Mesa is included in the Xorg extension, as a one-stop-catch-all for all graphical needs. Qt probably didn't like it being in /usr/local.
There are a few 3d games available, and Wine of course, so things seem to work out on that front.
