It is not a TDE package.. Sorry, it is one of the
system dependencies for gpg/gpg-agent. The package name is 'pinentry'. I'm
sure it
is on your box as we speak. That is what brought up my concern. "Will this
renaming break all packages that are NOT tde packages but that rely on Qt?"
If I understand your earlier response, the qmake
paths/properties will handle outside packages that look for the Qt executables and find
them under their new names. I don't know how that works, but I guess there is a
pkgconfig type lookup or config file that would do it. Where I'm still lost is if
there is both Qt4 and TQt3 installed and some package looks for the old Qt
name -- how is it prevented from grabbing the Qt4 provided package by
mistake?
pinentry was just the example I stumbled across
today. In the (tde-world, non-tde-world), it is the non-tde-world apps that concerned
me regarding the name change. May not be an issue, but all the work you
are having to do in the 'tde-world' having to be duplicated for all
'non-tde-world'
Qt packages was what scared me :)
Ok, I follow. I'm slow. :-)
I have pinentry installed. Of course, built against Qt4 rather than (T)Qt3.
Perhaps that package needs to be rebuilt, explicitly declaring enable-pinentry-qt if the
package was built against Qt4. When that option is used, you need to use the standard
"qt-dir" options to ensure the configuration knows where to find TQt3:
--with-qt-dir=${QTDIR} \
--with-qt-includes=${QT_INCLUDE_DIR} \
--with-qt-libraries=${QT_LIB_DIR} \
Will the build still fail because moc was renamed to tqmoc? After a quick look at the
pinentry sources, yes: the configure script explicitly looks for moc. I'm thinking a
patch to change moc->tqmoc, much like we just patched all of the Trinity sources with
the new names.
Would a sym link moc->tqmoc succeed? Probably, but only when the TQt3 bin files are
installed to a location different from the Qt4 bin files and the "qt-dir"
configure options are used to explicitly find TQt3. Using a sym link would be a packaging
issue.
We probably should have some notes about unique non Trinity packages that need such
attention. Do you know of other packages outside of KDE3/Trinity that build against the
old Qt3 and are expected to work within Trinity? For example, the old version of QCAD
built against Qt3, but was not a KDE3 app. Thus, that kind of package would not apply to
us (although I'm curious whether that version of QCAD would build against TQt3). Any
external app needing to interface with Trinity apps through TQt3, such as dialogs,
probably needs attention in the wiki.
That's my 2 cents.
With that said, how does pinentry interface with Trinity? Dialogs?
