this is a request to break all the qt related functions into their own eclass ... the reason is that there are a bunch of games (and ive seen other packages) that would make life a lot easier when dealing with QT ... for example, i have a few games that can use QT-2 or QT-3 ... some of these i'm just guessing would be useful, but a few i would start using right away ... functions i'd like to be able to utilize: # add requested version to DEPEND and stuff qt-depend <version number> # return the base qt dir ... if [version number] is not specified, default to # whatever is in installed, or to latest version if more than 1 is installed qt-basedir [version number] # similar to above qt-includedir [version number] # get qt cflags qt-cflags [version number] qt-cxxflags [version number]
You can do all this already with kde-functions.eclass. It doesn't include any global-section code, so the kde-related functions there are harmless. # add requested version to DEPEND and stuff inherit kde-functions; need-qt $VER # return the base qt dir ... if [version number] is not specified, default to # whatever is in installed, or to latest version if more than 1 is installed inherit kde-functions; set-qtdir $VER; now $QTDIR is set. Ugly, yes, and if you really want one we can add a wrapper # similar to above as above, use $QTDIR/include If any of the above isn't good enough, why? # get qt cflags If you just need to get the cflags necessary to compile a QT app, then AFAIK just using -I$QTDIR/include should always work. (You do need to add $QTDIR/bin to the beginning of PATH to make sure to use the correct moc and uic.) Otherwise we'd need a qt pkg-config file or a qt-config utility. Opinions?
yeah, ive realized this over time but just forgot about this bug as far as i'm concerned, kde-functions does everything i need
