That's interesting, as i found it easier to set up Qt4 Phonon support on Ubuntu than i did on Gentoo. On Gentoo, media-sound/phonon would always collide with qt4-phonon. Everytime i had to update my system, Gentoo would always inform me of this collision, forcing me to uninstall qt4-phonon, install media-sound/phonon (as it was a requirement for KDE4), update my system, then would i be able to remove media-sound/phonon and reinstall qt4-phonon.
But why are you saying this to the PyQt mailing list when this is dependent on the Linux distributers' side? --- On Mon, 11/17/08, Marcell Mars <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Marcell Mars <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [PyQt] i kindly request for better support of PyQt4 on linux > distributions... > To: [email protected] > Date: Monday, November 17, 2008, 7:53 PM > i really like PyQt4 with all of the features it brings to > us. couple > of weeks ago i finished application with video playback and > PyQt4 > provided me great playground. for that particular set up > (art > exhibition) it probably saved me at least 7-8 hours of work > comparing > to other solutions i was thinking about. > > but. > > it took me hours of work to finally set it up on ubuntu > box. i was > firstly trying to do that properly through ubuntu package > management > system but then finally needed to compile everything. i > needed to do > that mainly because of phonon support. i use gentoo (where > everything > is nice and smooth :o)) but had to use ubuntu because it > seems that's > the default choice for desktop these days. > > i dream about support where deployment of the PyQt4 apps > won't be that painful. > > hope riverbanking/trolltech/nokia is aware of what kind of > problem we > have here and that they work on the solutions. > unfortunately it seems > that just communities around distributions are not capable > to solve > that properly. i address that to companies behind the > framework > because easy solutions for the deployment are quite in > their interest. > (not that it is not in my own selfish interest, too ;)) > > i'm very thankful for all of the hard work put behind > qt/pyqt and i'm > sorry i can't contribute more to that development. > > thanx for listening > _______________________________________________ > PyQt mailing list [email protected] > http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list [email protected] http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
