Is QT 4 or 5 still alive somehow?

A lot of time passed since the last update on anything that has to do with QT. Is his still alive? Does anyone work on aything for QT?

Is there anywhere a newer version than 1.1.0 that exists on OS4Depot?

You mean the Amicygnix port ?

No there is a native QT made by Afkil (Thorbjørn Wennermark), I hope he is around.

Alfkil is still around, at least he did Spotless back in April, but all the Qt5 repos seem to be gone.

It seems that even QT 4.7 needs some update. The latest version complains on my system about multiple families on font config files. Also, I guess that it needs a recompile to use the newest AmiSSL, which I think it uses.

It would be a pity all this work alfkill did to die.

@walkero

what program did you run? i installed qt few days ago, had no probems with it so far

This happens on any program, even on the demos that come with QT 1.1.0

@walkero

with boxes i got this error:
Failed to create temporary opengl context!

i guess some open gl driverers is not installed yet?

libdemo_shared.so.1.0.0 - didnt start.. or maybe it did, just not gave me any messages. so guessing it started successfully as i should?

and when runnung qOrginizer downloaded from os4deot i got these 2 errors but program works

libpng warning: iCCP: too many profiles
libpng warning: iCCP: too many profiles

the 13 other demoes worked like a charm, no errors

There is a little bit of news now, and... tam-tam-tam, spoiler alert - there are more news to come. ;)

@alfkil

Glad to see you back on track! And congratulations on your new X5000! I'm sure you'll enjoy it - it's a great machine. (Just powered off mine to take a little break )

@alfkill
Yeah, give us some news.... I am glad you are back too...

Hello dear Community.
Any news regarding a/the QT5 port for our Ladies?

Got a port project in mind that needs a QT5.3

@zerec

there is a attempt to get Qt 6.4, but there is some problems that
might need os4 core development, webkit is one of the areas that
fails apparently, and alfkil apparently worked himself into the
famous 'wall', which never should be ignored how serious that is
for your health (and it takes a long time to recover). personally
I think signals need to be worked, on among the things os4 core
anyway needs to fix.

@trgswe

Thanks 🙏🏽. Yes a recent WebKit is so
essential for OS4.

Hope with the synergy-power
our awesome Community got we will see it rise.

One shout out:
Thanks to all you guys out there that define our
Smart Community. Even small steps are steps.

I am trying to build alfkill QT6 project on cross-compiler, but I haven't been able to build it completely.

Here are some of his reaction to my questions:

Maybe a more experienced developer/user can take a look at it..

@SinanSam460

I have not given up hope completely. The current work on Qt6 got stalled because of a bug in elf.library. I am trying to find out, if this has been fixed already.

I am also in a moving situation, so it will be another month, before I can resume work.

@alfkil
Btw, just in case you miss it : in latest ogles2.library (currently 3.3) Daniel add multicontext support, so it should help with your ogles2 issues you have before when porting QT.

@kas1e

Thanks! That is good to know. Just have to get my AmiSphere account up and running, I guess.

@SinanSam460

I have left a comment for you in the issues pane in the Qt6 repository.
