Re: [Development] Proposal: Disable ActiveQt from MinGW
Hi, There is Wine IDL compiler (http://www.winehq.org/docs/widl) which can be used with MinGW. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Cross_Compile_Mozilla_for_Mingw32 has a reference about it. Cheers, Cristian.

I'm not an expert on ActiveQt, but my understanding is that it's of minor use without an IDL compiler. MinGW doesn't offer one, which is why all examples except the 'webbrowser' one are skipped for MinGW ... and that one crashes: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-32140 So, any thoughts on this? Surely the bug above mentioned can be fixed, but is there any use of shipping ActiveQt for MinGW if there is no idl compiler? I understood you can't just use the Microsoft midl one ...

Anyhow, I asked on the mingw-w64 mailing list, and the binary seems to be just one step into getting wine and mingw-w64 closer together, and there are still licensing issues etc: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/Wine%20integration Regards Kai ___ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development

Re: [Development] Proposal: Disable ActiveQt from MinGW
Hello, Wine provides an IDL compiler, which has been adopted my mingw-w64: http://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/mingw-w64-tools/widl/ Mozilla is using it: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Cross_Compile_Mozilla_for_Mingw32#Install_widl_(optional) On Thu, Oct 10, 2013 at 11:24 AM, Koehne Kai wrote: > Hi, > > I'm wondering whether we should remove ActiveQt from the MinGW binary > packages, and skip it by default if we build for MinGW. > > I'm not an expert on ActiveQt, but my understanding is that it's of minor > use without an IDL compiler.

[Development] Proposal: Disable ActiveQt from MinGW
Hi, I'm wondering whether we should remove ActiveQt from the MinGW binary packages, and skip it by default if we build for MinGW. I'm not an expert on ActiveQt, but my understanding is that it's of minor use without an IDL compiler. MinGW doesn't offer one, which is why all examples except the 'webbrowser' one are skipped for MinGW ... and that one crashes: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-32140 So, any thoughts on this? Surely the bug above mentioned can be fixed, but is there any use of shipping ActiveQt for MinGW if there is no idl compiler? I understood you can't just use the Microsoft midl one ...
