Qt beta

Problem solved.

I started SMTube by CLI since it hidden the annoying FE update 1 new warning about libpng.
Starting again SMTube by WB solved the crashs (but annoying warning came back...)

The problem is, that the previous versions of LibQtGui have had a "built in" version of libpng inside them. Now, I can remove that easily, but still the libfontconfig in Update 1 will not link properly. I have written to Hyperion asking for updated libz and libxml2. Before that, it is hard to do anything constructive...

@alfkil
ok thank you for the information

@zzd10h

Also the header files for libpng are missing from the SDK. So I am unable to build libQtGui.so even with your additional libz and libxml2. This is a tad frustrating... :-/

...So grabbing a random libpng v.1.6.?? set of headers enables me to build the library. And now it 'works' (except for an annoying request for volume 'proc:'...). But of course now libQtGui is hardcoded to use libpng version 1.6.xx and will refuse to work on systems without this library. Which means every system prior to FE U1... If you can all live with those quirks, I can release the library. Otherwise I am out of ideas.

EDIT: I believe that libfontconfig.so is to blame for the 'Missing volume proc:' requester.

@alfkil

Yes, please, release it or at least a link here to grab it.

Thanks

@zzd10h

This is the best, I can do.


I have removed the dependencies for libxml2, libharfbuzz and libbz2 from the Gui library. This way, if you run on a prior to FE U1 system, you will only be asked for libpng16. Hopefully you will have a friend, that can supply you with it.

I will do a proper release. That way noone gets confused (we hope), and I can also include my new hack for removing unnecessary volume requesters. :)

Version 1.1.0 is in the upload queue at os4depot:

Hopefully someone will spot any problems before it is fully comitted. I would hate to have to do v.1.1.1... ;)

@alfkil

Alfkil are those files usefull for somethings ?
I mean all that .la and .prl files in "lib" folder ... probably they can be removed from the archive in order to make it smaller

Maybe still also libQtCLucene.a (22 MB of size)

@samo79

I think they are necessary. And they are not so overly large after all ;). libQtCLucene is also used for something, although I do not remember exactly what.

Hi,
using SMTube, since FE Update 1, there are some debug message in console when using

location = new QLineEdit(this);

console messages are :
returning file "/Work/QtApps/SMTube/fonts"
returning file "/Work/QtApps/SMTube/fonts"
returning file "/Work/QtApps/SMTube/fontconfig"

Could you do something in QLineEdit() or is it something totally different ?

Thanks

@alfkil
