Qt Creator & static libqt-mt.a
Hi, Qt Creator is not part of Cygwin? Furthermore having a static version of the Qt library would save everybody a lot of trouble (both Qt3 and Qt4). -Phil -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

I meant some people would like to distribute an executable to systems with no Cygwin or Qt installed. False. While some plugins can be builtin to the libraries, the following absolutely require plugin support: - CJK language support, - QML (QtDeclarative), - QCA, - QtDesigner widgets, - Phonon, - third-party QStyle engines, - and last, but not least, KDE. What I am trying to say is to include both the DLL and the static library in the package, this way we'll be able to use Qt Designer and linking the final executable dynamically or statically. As it is right now I've been rebuilding Qt from source 2 or 3 times because the configure script deletes all objects files when it's run and each build took 96 minutes. Not to mention I had the following bugs: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-20342?focusedCommentId=158621#comment-158621 -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Well you just have to rename the static library. The Qt build is very configurable; you may want to consider disabling whichever components you don't need in order to save time. I failed to see any "-no-example" option. The script deletes all object files so running the script by trial and error is not an option. Needless to say, our Qt includes patches which fix all these errors. I have yet to push these upstream, so in the meantime, please direct Qt bug reports to these lists. I'm hoping I do not have any more bug to report. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

As I mentioned here: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-20342?focusedCommentId=158731#comment-158731 There is a lot of missing libraries when compiling an executable. I had to add the following in mkspecs/cygwin-g++/qmake.conf: QMAKE_LIBS_X11 = -lXext -lX11 -lz -lfreetype -lXrender -lfontconfig -lICE -lSM And I had to pass x11 to CONFIG in the project file.

Perhaps it is pointless having a static Qt library after all because the executable will depend on other libraries that are dynamic: ... cygICE-6.dll => /usr/bin/cygICE-6.dll (?) cygSM-6.dll => /usr/bin/cygSM-6.dll (?) cygX11-6.dll => /usr/bin/cygX11-6.dll (?) cygXext-6.dll => /usr/bin/cygXext-6.dll (?) cygXrender-1.dll => /usr/bin/cygXrender-1.dll (?) cygfontconfig-1.dll => /usr/bin/cygfontconfig-1.dll (?) cygfreetype-6.dll => /usr/bin/cygfreetype-6.dll (?) cygwin1.dll => /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll (?) cygz.dll => /usr/bin/cygz.dll (?) -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
