    Hi,

    For some particular software, it requires this particular version as dependency. I got the qt v3.3.8 from the archive.

    I was able to run ./configure in the source directory successfully. However, on running make I got an error. Below is the output of the make command:

    make[1]: Entering directory '/home/insanity/software/misc/qt-src/qt-x11-free-3.3.8'

      ptrdiff_t is defined in cstddef: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/ptrdiff_t
      Looks like this old software does need some adjustments to compile wirh a recent compiler.

        Hi,

        You might also need an older version of the Xorg libraries. Or update the corresponding code.

            A version that's about as old as Qt 3.3.8 which means that dates back 14 years ago. Note that it might be a more recent version. You'll have to check when the symbols you need were modified.

              @deostroll Hi, I have the same issue. Did you ever solve this?
