Qt 5 Base for OS/2
« on: August 14, 2019, 06:03:00 pm »
Hi

Qt5 first release is now available for download. It is not yet on the netlabs repository, but on the netlabs experimental repository. (I don't know the rules on when it is going to be on the normal repository).

I had installed as suggested: "yum install qt5-qtbase-examples" and rebooted.

I think it would be great if the community can start testing it out, reporting bugs/issues (I guess here), testing software, and even dreaming what Qt5 open source can be ported to OS/2. But it is also important to help funding this project (webshop or via Patreon page).

Regards

Hi

Looking around I found a list of Qt apps available (Qt4 and Qt5) for other platforms. Not all can be ported, but maybe there is something interesting ;)
- manjaro.org

Any other links or ideas are welcome.

Martin, thanks for popping this up! A couple of notes:
- Qt 5 RPMs will be moved to the release repository later today.
- Qt 5 consists of modules and each module has its own repository and issue tracker. Per-module tickets should be reported to the module's issue tracker. Currently we only ported the QtBase module. Its issue tracker is located here: https://github.com/bitwiseworks/qtbase-os2/issues.

And here are the proper release notes btw: https://github.com/bitwiseworks/qtbase-os2/releases/tag/v5.11.0-os2-b1

A question, How backward compatible is it?  In other words will it run Qt 4 programs or do we need to keep our Qt 4 install?

I ask because I have about 25 Qt 4 programs that get from daily to weekly use.

Qt 5 is not very backward compatible with Qt 4 but there are tools from Qt that simplify porting. But Qt 5 and Qt 4 apps can coexist so unless there are Qt 5 versions of your apps (which you should use then) you can still use Qt 4 versions.

Re the package error. Fixed, it will get deployed in 30 min or such.

Thank you Dmitriy, at least I can continue proof reading and editing, hopefully without problems.

I get this error: "Datei /@unixroot/usr/bin/pwd_mkdb.exe aus der Installation von libc-1:0.1.2-1.oc00.i686 kollidiert mit der Datei aus dem Paket klusrmgr-1.2.1-1.oc00.i686", meaning pwd_mkdb.exe is both in libc and klusrmgr.

Jochen, how do you install things? `libc-1:0.1.2-1` depends on a newer `klusrmgr-1.2.2-1` which should be automatically dragged in (causing a klusrmgr update before libc) unless you do something special with custom yum/rpm flags.

With ANPM. I start the upgrade. Libc stops the installation with the message, that I must reboot and then start update again.
I rebooted and restarted ANPM. Then comes the message.

klusrmgr 1.2.2 was installed (at least according to the RPM DB), but 1.2.1 was still there. I had to clean up the duplicates.

Jochen, I see. This looks like an ANPM bug to me. Please report this situation to their bug tracker at https://mantis.arcanoae.com/. (Apparently they should let the whole update process to complete and only then offer a reboot).

OK, I will try update via yum, when I'm home again.

I think, I have to file this one via Netlabs.
yum update crashed midway. After a reboot, python couldn't import its SSL wrapper.
I had to unpack the RPM on linux and copy them over to my /@unixroot.
After that, yum was working again.

can you reproduce the issue? As w/o a reproducable case it's almost impossible to see what the issue could have caused. As to be honest we never got such a report so far. Which doesn't mean anything :)

Yes, I know. My daily work is trying to reproducing claims of misbehaving software.
I will try to reproduce the issue.
