Well for one thing, you can't run the 32-bit one against a 64-bit install or vice versa. Any plugins they load (including system style plugins) must be the same bit-ness. Designer used to load plugins for custom widgets... not sure if it still does. If you're on a 64-bit distro, you most likely don't want the 32-bit versions. If you're on a 32-bit distro, you can't use the 64-bit ones. That's a distro/packaging problem though. The best we could do is to remove these from the Qt repo and build/packge them separately (like we do with Creator). -- Link _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
