Description Luke-Jr 2014-11-21 20:41:41 UTC
It is no longer possible to build dev-qt/qtcore without iconv/glib support. Upstream appears to still support this.
Comment 1 Davide Pesavento gentoo-dev 2014-11-22 14:47:43 UTC
It didn't (and still doesn't) seem worthwhile to support those flags IMO. glib in particular has potential ramifications in other modules too. Any compelling reasons to restore them?
Comment 2 Luke-Jr 2014-11-22 19:40:50 UTC
I don't care about iconv, but if I wanted to use glib, I'd be using GNOME.
Comment 3 Davide Pesavento gentoo-dev 2014-11-22 19:43:50 UTC
USE=glib enables integration between qt and glib event loops, which is needed by several other *qt* libraries, so you would end up having to enable it anyway...

Can you give examples? I don't think Qt is ever used with the glib event loop on Mac or Windows, yet it works fine on those platforms... I really don't want glib installed on my PC.
Comment 5 Davide Pesavento gentoo-dev 2014-11-22 20:34:41 UTC
Sorry, I wasn't clear... I meant *third-party* qt-based libraries such as polkit-qt and phonon, not other official qt modules.
Comment 6 Luke-Jr 2014-11-22 20:40:32 UTC
I don't want polkit nonsense either, and phonon-vlc seems to work just fine without glib.
Comment 7 Davide Pesavento gentoo-dev 2014-11-22 21:32:47 UTC
Those were just examples, as you asked. IIRC KDE used to require it, too, but apparently it's not needed anymore (assuming our deps are correct).
Comment 8 Luke-Jr 2014-11-22 22:02:21 UTC
FWIW, I've been running KDE 4 since about 4.2 without qt[glib] just fine.
