Hi,
The Qt/X11 Free version available from Fink has a shell script patch
that basically adds (as far as I can tell) support for Darwin. The
I think the patch is just a few lines in the configure script, but I may
be wrong.
Qt/Mac version doesn't know about Darwin.
Not sure what you mean here. Qt/Mac obviously "knows" about Darwin which
is the basis of Mac OS X. How does Qt/X11 know more about Darwin?
I like to build from source so I can study the underlying code to
understand what it does.
I suggest you also ask on a Fink mailing list, since Fink distributes a
patched Qt/X11 package.
Building from the Fink sources. I first tried of course building Qt/X11
from the source obtained from Fink. The build died w/a bus error at the
same point I am at ie. the first invocation of uic to create headers in
designer for forms (if I understand the point of the code qmake is
building at the point of failure) I decided to stick w/the Fink sources
since they had already had been modified to handle Darwin. I noted the
old version of GNU libtool used in the 3rdparty subdirectories used to
provide the 4 required libraries for qt. I decided to continue working
from the Fink source of Qt/X11 and build/install the 4 libraries myself
using the new 1.5.10 GNU libtool. All 4 build and installed and tested
fine (as far as I can tell).
Maybe you shouldn't be using the latest versions of these tools, but
instead the versions that were current at the time Fink's Qt/X11 was
released.
[...]
I indeed was surprised that uic was calling a plugins subdirectory (I
assume the -L option to uic is specifying a library path). Any idea why
uic needs to call plugins when building a static/threaded qt ? Does this
imply I really should be building a shared/threaded version of Qt ?
I know it's possible to build static versions of Qt, that's not the
problem. Maybe the tools you're usign are too recent. I suggest you also
ask on a Fink mailing list.
