Bug 378785 – Qt designer doesn't find all the KDE widgets!

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Giorgos Tsiapaliwkas 2011-08-11 14:23:38 UTC]

Hello,

I am using two variations of KDE in my system.
The one is coming from the ebuilds and the other is coming from the kdesrc-build script.
(If you don't know what is it look here,http://kdesrc-build.kde.org/).

I am using two KDE because i want a development enviroment which will not damage my system in case i screw up something.

The KDE upstream is using the kdelibs/kdewidgets directory in order to make embedded these widgets to Qt Designer.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.designer
2.just enter something
3.look at the list at your left
Actual Results:  
first screenshot(named gentoo)

Expected Results:  
second screenshot (named master)

Can you inform me please with the status of the current bug?

I have found the solution for the current bug.

The CMakeLists.txt of kdelibs/kdewidgets in the 28 line checks for qt designer,so if you first install the designer and then kdelibs everything will be fine,but if you install first the kdelibs and then the designer then cmake will not find the designer and it will not create the required view column for the widgets.

The widgets are being created/installed in the system in both situation but the source code which creates their visual appearence it doesn't.

So should we have to add a "ewarning" in the ebuild?

thanks

Thanks for digging into this... the problem is, noone with a pure gentoo install will ever hit it because qt designer is build together with qt-gui... I'll have a closer look.

... and for the same reason I cannot really test it.

Could you please try the attached trivial kdelibs patch? I do not see anything in this codeblock that actually requires designer...

Not really applicable to Gentoo.
