Qt beta

@alfkil

Me ready for test as usual

@alfkil

Seems like part of the territory.

Ok, I am just posting it here. If you are unsure about beta software, do not download this ;).

Qt.4.7:

JuffEd:

Vacuum:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4au3u119f47nejf/vacuum-new.lha?dl=0

As I pointed out, Vacuum is in a very sorry state. But I would like, if someone with a basic understanding of jabber to confront it and point out, where the mistakes are. It also crashes at exit.

@alfkil

Installed and all seems working for now, aniway what new in this new beta ?
I ask because the changelog was not updated ...

Really? I can't get juffed to start - not the new version or the old one. However smtube and and screengrab work better and without the widget error. Other utils/games are also split - some work better while others can't start.

@Srtest

What does Ranger tell you about JuffEd? Does it exit again after loading, or does it hang? It could be an issue with the tcp/ip stack.

@samo79

The only new thing is, that I updated the version number and sorted out a confusion in a couple of includes. Which means, that possibly some old apps will no longer work as they are; they have to be rebuilt.

@alfkil

Funny thing - I grabbed this screen with screengrab of snoopy recording JuffED: https://s30.postimg.org/p1kke63v5/screen1ab.jpg
Then, went to upload it and didn't reboot before that. Suddenly after about 3-4 minutes JuffeED appeared so I also grabbed the result: https://s28.postimg.org/fqdpvxezx/screen1ba.jpg

Now it appears like it always did and also seems to work better after a couple of minutes fiddling with it. I will now test the other qt apps/games to see if they also appear after several minutes.

@Srtest

Try going into Tools->Settings. Under 'General', please UN-tack 'Open files in existing instance'. Click OK and exit JuffEd. Try to start it again. See, if there is a difference in startup speed.

@all

Has anyone tried Vacuum?? I have just uploaded a fresh version, that fixes a few bugs, including the crash at exit. Please let me know, if it seems to work ok. I have only tried logging on briefly with a newly created jabber account. I cannot communicate with people, because I don't have any contacts, that are online :).

@alfkil

Yep Vacumm crashed at exit also for me .. later i will try your newest version .. for now all seems working normally but i verified only a few softwares

P.S.
The installer text reference of Qt package still say "0.9.4" .. perhaps it should be updated to 1.0.0

Of course :).

Qt4.7-Minimal, VacuumIM and JuffEd have all been uploaded to os4depot.net. Have fun, and Happy New Year!

Hi,
with previous Qt (< 2016) or with the current one (today minimal from os4depot) and new FE update 1, we have problem to start SMtube.

It seems that the new libfontconfig.so (FE update1) is linked with libpng16 (or something like that).

Now, SMTube complains about

libpng warning: Application built with libpng-1.4.0 but running with 1.6.12

Even when I recompile SMTube with libpng16, it complains the same way.

Is Qt linked with libpng14 ? Is something that I can override in SMTube ?

When I revert to the FE update 0 libfontconfig.so, no problem.


Thx

Arg... I think libQtGui.so is linked with fontconfig, so that is probably the reason. I am not sure, how to fix that?

Also, it doesn't complain here. Are you sure, that it is not only a problem with your new build?

What are actual requirements of these games? Is Radeon HD card required?

@utri007

Well... They are not strictly 'games'... Qt is a multiplatform gui toolkit. JuffEd is a syntax sensitive texteditor for programmers. And Vacuum is a Jabber client. What is your interest in gaming? There is a very nice 'Tower of Goo' version for Qt on os4depot somewhere. It requires miniGL and probably wont work with new RadeonHD drivers. Was it something like that, you had in mind?

@alfkil

It's not a SMTube bug.
All the QT programs make the same "libpng warning: Application built with libpng-1.4.0 but running with 1.6.12 ". And make a fonts scan, every time. The fonts are very small in the qt programs, like SMTube, Juffedit or QTorganoze.

I replace the old libfontconfig.so, and shows "fontconfig" errors, but not more font cache, and the size of fonts are the correct.

I even seem faster than before.

:)

@Alfkill
hi,
"it is not only a problem with your new build?"
no, it occured as soon as FE update 1 was installed with an old build.

I tried to rebuild (with libpng16 and latest libfontconfig to try to solve this problem).

Is it possible for you to rebuild libqt* with libpng16 and/or latest FE upd1 libfontconfig.so ?

thanks

@zzd10h

Ok. I am going away for a few days, so I will look at it next week. Thanks for the report!

@alfkil

it seems that qPDFView have the same problem

Thanks by advance. ;)
