QT SDK feedback and questions

OK, first try with the QT SDK, and there are some issues.

The installer should add a path to the user startup else qmake can't be found. I added this to my user-startup to make qmake available.

Path Bob:QT-4.7/bin/ add

So after that, i continued and tried to build my first project, so i typed "qmake" in shell... qmake started working but after a few seconds i got this requester: Please insert volume Work: in any drive. Process: "qmake".

So it seems you have an hardcoded path in qmake?

I tried to assign work: to bob: (see path above) and then qmake failed with this message:

6.RAM Disk:znotes-0.4.5> qmake
findConfiguration()
OOPS!
qtconfig= "/qt/bin/qt.conf"

i checked in qt:bin/ but there is no file called qt.conf?

After some research i found out what that file should contain,
and rolled my own:

[Paths]
Prefix=/qtdir
Libraries=/qtdir/lib

i guess qtdir is a variable? i don't know if it's set in the amigaos port?
maybe it should be changed into:

[Paths]
Prefix=/Qt
Libraries=/Qt/lib

... alfkil?

It would be nice if this was done by the installer.

so now i tried to simply type qmake, and voila, i got myself a makefile! :D
... and a bunch of compiler errors... damn! :D

I just tried to configure speedcrunch:
http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/SpeedCrunch?content=69979

and got this message?

6.RAM Disk:speedcrunch-0.11-alpha/src> qmake
findConfiguration()
OOPS!
qtconfig= "/qt/bin/qt.conf"
Project ERROR: unsupported Qt major version found but 4 required

Seems wrong, as we have qt 4, right? something wrong in my qt.conf?

QT seems to clash with the amigaos sdk?

The last three projects i tried to compile gave me this error:

In file included from /SDK/newlib/include/sys/time.h:16,

in sys/select.h on line 80 we find:
int waitselect _PARAMS ((int, fd_set *, fd_set *, fd_set *, struct timeval *, unsigned int *signals));

if i comment that line all compiles without problem, but, well, this is the wrong approach ofcourse. =)

the first bin i got (with the nasty comment in select.h crashed on start,
so i deleted it and tried another one..
also this one with the comment in select.h,
this one also crashes on start, i thought i'd paste some feedback here.

shell output:

@spot
You remember that for any QT app you should manually set stacksize all the time ?

Kazooee: actually, i did not set any stacksize.
In my shell startup i have "stack 5000000" shouldn't that be enough?

@spot
Should be enough then, right.

The major version number thing there is a fix for... you need a particular file.

I think this is it:
Quote:

copy it into a file called qt:mkspecs/qconfig.pri

If that isn't it I'll have another look. I did mention it in the old Qt thread so you could have a look through there.

Bump, alfkil?

@spotUP

The missing PATH is because you have choosen "update" in the installer. That way the s:startup-sequence is not updated, and since your last installed version was "user", there is a missing line there. This is of course a mistake, I will change it. Thanks for reporting!

The qt.conf problem is a little more strange, I will need to look into that.

Ok, i will delete qt and reinstall then.

Alfkil what about the sdk clash?

@spot

The version problem you mention is probably due to me inserting a lot of stupid debug output. I think the script might expect to get the version from qmake and not getting it but just some random debug output instead. Should be fixed.

@spot

About the SDK clash: For some reason, the c++ compiler doesn't like the work "signals" in the header. Just change it to "_signals" (or smth similar) for now. The same problem might occur in exec and bsdsocket at some point.

@spotup

About the crash you experience from JSPong: Can you try and track down which font is used? Have you tried both the native renderer and opengl (there might be a difference)?

@spotUP

Could you maybe post the .pro file that makes the version error?

Alfkil can you come to #amigadev on irc.amigaworld.net? We could work out bugs a million times faster! Or do you have msn?

@spotUP

I am an idiot with IRC. I have a client on my Ubuntu machine, but I don't know how to use it. Is there a keyword for connecting to a server? /CONNECT maybe...? No, doesn't seem to work...

@alfkil
