Forgot to mention this is with the latest qt (3.2.1).  I also noticed the Signal Handlers tab is blank.

[Comment 2 KF1RdJJ3VXc 2003-09-19 09:38:46 UTC]

Just noticed it's also missing the following objects under File | New:

Configuration Dialog
Dialog with Buttons (Bottom)
Dialog with Buttons (Right)
Tab Dialog
C++ Source File
C++ Header File

[Comment 3 KF1RdJJ3VXc 2003-09-23 10:12:41 UTC]

All of the above problems still exist in 3.2.1-r1.

[Comment 4 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2003-10-02 09:05:32 UTC]

This has been fixed in portage - you will most likely need to re-emerge qt.

[Comment 5 KF1RdJJ3VXc 2003-10-02 12:09:27 UTC]

The following items from File | New are still missing:

Configuration Dialog
Dialog with Buttons (Bottom)
Dialog with Buttons (Right)
Tab Dialog

Also, Help | Contents and Help | Manual still don't work.

[Comment 6 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2003-10-02 13:29:50 UTC]

Ok, fixed the first problem...not sure how to get Help -> Contents working
again.

qt-3.2.1-r2 ebuild

[Comment 7 KF1RdJJ3VXc 2003-10-07 13:44:58 UTC]

Just noticed a couple more problems:

1) The ebuild creates /usr/qt/3/doc/html but fails to copy the .html files
- this breaks Qt Assistant.

2) The man pages for moc, uic, etc, aren't in the path.  MANPATH is incorrectly
set to /usr/qt/3/man (should be /usr/qt/3/doc/man ?).
