I used the qt-copy patches with Qt3 on Slackware without noticing problems. However, in the other set of patches (of which I guess they come from Debian/Ubuntu), they are at least 2 patches that shouldn't be included: -the 06_disable_rpath.diff is policy, and I had to remove it from MutantTurkey's set of patches to build Qt3 on Slackware. -the 72_dont_trust_uname-m[â¦].diff patch has nothing to do in a Qt3 fork which is intended to be used with any Linux distribution. Slackware doesn't have dpkg-architecture, neither does Arch.
I have reviewed a bit more the patches tarball, and the 05 and 09 patches are also Debian-specific (the 05 one specifies paths, and the 09 one makes /usr/X11R6/lib the default X11 path instead of /usr/X11R6/lib64, which will almost surely break the build on Slackware64). According the following link: http://www.trevorpounds.com/blog/?p=111 lib64 is the usual directory for 64-bit libraries on amd64 and will also work on Debian/Ubuntu.
