Installation and Deployment

[quote author="Alexandra" date="1294056575"]I will remind her of the wiki again. Maybe we can get some answers based on the questions directly. No promises though, she's doing all she can.[/quote] Anything new on this? :-)

ok glad you succeeded. could you edit your title and add [Solved] ?

There are many platform specific solutions. A free cross platform solution is "CPack":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPack

Thanks for the hint Volker. I had a closer look into the .spec file of the rpm that I am using and behold: there is a line passing several extra parameters to the configure call: -- ok now the third try to get that following line into the post. It was parsed away by the forum. The line contains: @define common_options -L%libdir@ I changed that line to my needs and the issue is solved now.

Well... Solved by using 4.8-tp ;) Thank you Qt Team ^^'

No problem. Thanks for sharing!

Tobias: Yes I am using Qt SDK download with Qt Creator. I still cannot see results of say for example QDateTime variable where I break. Debugging helpers are already enabled. Any clue why I cannot see the values of compound or class variable?

Thanx got you :)

In the past there was qtdemo compiled with Qt all along. This was really easy to look into the examples. Since the use of the sdk, you have to compile qtdemo yourself or get to an example as i explained and compile one by one.

Thats correct. You donj't have vector icons in Win7, you just have icons with several resolutions. To create them, "icoFX":http://icofx.ro/ could be used for example.

Going a different way with this: rather than using a QtService, I'm using a traditional Qt application where the issue doesn't occur, at least for the time being.

That is the old sw developer trick. When the engine of your car stalls, get out of the car lock the doors unlock the doors get into the car start the engine again :D

Thank you for your help! I reconfigured and recompiled the qt-win-opensource-4.7.3-vs2008.exe (after "nmake confclean") and added the -no-s60 switch. I had to restart nmake a few times (had problems updating some files and stopped), but it finally succeeded. Conclusion: 4.7.3 works with default configuration on my Windows XP 32-Bit, Windows 7 32-Bit and Windows Vista 64-Bit machines, but needs the -no-s60 switch on my Windows 7 64-Bit machine. Strange behaviour? Who cares if it's working ;) Andreas.

I agree with ludde. You are trying to use glut to reproduce functionality that is already in Qt. Some glut functions can still make sense to use within Qt (ie for drawing basic geometric shapes such as a sphere). Take a look at my repository to see a few very simple OpenGL apps that use Qt rather than glut for the windowing functionality. Just use svn to checkout: @ https://svn.theharmers.co.uk/svn/codes/public/opengl/trunk/ @ cd into one of the directories e.g. 06-solar-system then run: @ qmake make @

Thank you Denis - congratulations on hitting 25k points btw :-)
