    Hi, community of Qt Developer Network!

    I am using Ubuntu 12.10 with Unity Desktop on the board. If I build Qt with these keys:
    @
    ./configure -fast -opensource -nomake-demos -nomake-examples -no-webkit && make
    @

    I am getting working Qt libraries but..they do not support Unity Global Menu. When I build an application with them, I am getting traditional menu on the form (global menu shows it to the left of the tray).

    There is a package qt-sdk which has Qt 4.8.3 + Qt Tools. However, it supports Unity Global Menu. Maybe there is a configure key which gives this functionallity?

    Has anyone dealed with this issue?

    Thanks.

      The nice thing about linux distros is that it is really easy to find out how they build their stuff:-) So did you check what ubuntu does when building Qt? Just check the package-version.debian.tar.whateverCompression file found "here":http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/qt4-dev-tools .

      The configure command used is in debian/rules of that archive. You can also see that ubuntu does a lot of patching... maybe what you need is in one of those patches. Those are listed in debian/patches/series IIRC.

        Maybe this can help to configure what you want:
        Section 5: Configuring Unity

            Thanks, Tobias!

            It looks like I need to patch Qt with smth like qt-appmenu and etc.

            However I wrote an email to Ubuntu Employee I know, so maybe he will tell smth I need.
