Hi, ATM there is a masked and non-working ebuild of x11-libs/qt-embedded in portage. This ebuild really needs a update to the latest version (3.2.0b2). Is there a Gentoo devver who can take a look at this? I was also thinking about a Gentoo installer project: we can include QT/Embedded on the LiveCD and build a small installer application. This application will use QT/Embedded and vesafb. The hardest part to code, filesystem resizing/deleting/creating/choosing, is already done: PartGUI (http://part-gui.sourceforge.net/) runs on top of QT/Embedded. Including Konqueror/Embedded (see module kdenox from KDE CVS) for online help is also possible :) What do you think about this idea? Greeting, Niek. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
If you could provide a working ebuild that would help a lot. Also, if there is a stable version of qt-embedded, also provide an ebuild for that.
OK, here's a ebuild for QT/Embedded 3.2.0 beta2. The ebuild is not perfect (I can't get CUPS support enabled) and some things needs to be fixed (can't get the mouse working as a non-root user, perhaps a /dev issue?), so please clean this ebuild up. If QT is installed (X11 version), you have to comment out things in /etc/env.d. And oh, I've to redirect all stdout/stderr messages to /dev/null, or they mess up the framebuffer screen. Here's a screenshot of QT Designer running with QT/E (designer > /dev/null 2>&1): http://picserver.student.utwente.nl/getpicture.php?id=178920 BTW, PartGUI is also working perfect with this version. I'm now trying to build Konqueror/Embedded...

Will take a look at this asap.

I've updated qt embedded to the latest stable version 3.1.2. I'll plan to get a 3.2 ebuild in as soon as it moves out of beta. It will definitely require lots of testing. More bug reports are welcome.
Hi, There is a very big problem in the current ebuild (attach from 2003-06-30 09:41). It depends on virtual/x11. The major advantage of QtEmbedded over Qt-x11 is that it does not requires XFree86 ! And the current ebuild requires XFree86. Another very important note: In the src_compile(), uic is not build. This tool is very important, because dialogs are build with uic. If uic is not installed, and Qt-x11 is not installed too, you won't be able to build your Qt programs. You have to add these lines, at the end of src_compile(): ----------- cd $S/tools/designer/uic emake ----------- I made my own version of the ebuild for Qt-3.1.2: http://fdupoux.free.fr/gentoo/qt-embedded-3.1.2.ebuild It is very incomplete (many missing options, such as cups, gif, mng, odbc, ...), but it works for normal Qt programs (uic is included) and it does not requires XFree86. Hope it helps. It was tested for QtParted and PartGui. regards
Hi The 3.1.2 ebuild I've commited is virtually the same as the one you listed, but I added in your line building the uic. Thanks for the comments.
Created attachment 14781 [details] Compilation error Thanks for your new ebuild. There was a compilation error (see attach txt) It seems that the ebuild compiles QtDesigner, and QtDesigner needs libqassistantclient. IMHO, you have to do that (like for uic): cd <assistant directory> emake Is there a way to disable compilation of QtDesigner ? Most Qt developers work with the Qt-x11 version. QtEmbedded is only used to build and at runtime...
