Re: [Qgis-developer] Report bug/feature on homepage
Too many vague or un-researched bug reports. People filing bugs instead of googling the problem or even reading the manual. Lets just go with the average user might not understand when the right place is the mailing or stackexchange vs filing a bug. Those other methods of communication allow true bugs to filter through. It also allows for the collection of all relevant evidence to make a bug testable or at least an attempt at it. It's a signal to noise issue.

Re: [Qgis-developer] Report bug/feature on homepage
My main objections to having a report bugs button on the main page: - I think users who are not too familiar with the workings of open source projects will be alarmed why we think it necessary to add a report bugs button right next to the download button. They want (the illusion? of) bug-free software (even if there is no such thing). - I want to avoid cluttering of the homepage. - I also think Randal has a point when he says that some small hurdle can help keep the number of not-so-helpful bug reports down. +1 for top of get involved page.

[Qgis-developer] QGIS custom widgets library for Qt designer: python/cpp availability
Hi all, I have been creating a new library for having QGIS custom widgets available in Qt Designer, see PR 1325 [0]. I am facing a problem regarding the included file name that is defined in the custom widget and used by uic to create the code for it [1]. The problem is that this file won't be the same if the UI will be compiled from python or from c++. For example, QgsMapLayerComboBoxPlugin [2], would need to include qgsmaplayercombobox.h [3] for c++ while it waits for qgis.gui for Python. Does someone has any idea if it would be possible to make the widget librabry working for both languages? The non-optimal solutions I see: * provide two libraries, one for python and one for c++ * add a setting in cmake to choose to compile custom widgets for C++ or for python * choose one by default and let the user change in source the included file I think that all of these are non satisfying and removes all the magic from this new feature. If you have any lead, it's more than welcome. Cheers, Denis [0] https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/1325 [1] http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qdesignercustomwidgetinterface.html#includeFile [2] https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/1325/files#diff-15 [3] http://qgis.org/api/classQgsMapLayerComboBox.html ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer

Re: [Qgis-developer] Report bug/feature on homepage
Hi guys, +1 for top of get involved page But to avoid the massive reporting bug we can write in the page a suggestion to the users, they need to ask first in one of the mailing list (qgis-user, qgis-developer) instead reporting right away the bug.

All good. Never once have we had a problem.

Maybe you need to update your LD_LIBRARY_PATH so QGIS or Qt knows of the custom OCI lib path during runtime? The qsqlocispatial Qt SQL driver should be installed in Qt's plugins/sqldrivers/ dir (reason you may have needed sudo). It is the one linked against the OCI client. Maybe check that it is installed correctly, and that the OCI lib is linked correctly, using `ldd`? This all assumes that it is the OCI lib stuff that is not being found in your error, and not something else. Maybe some Linux gurus can help further.

[Qgis-developer] Fwd: error starting qgis (built from source)
-- Mensaje reenviado -- De: Jorge Tornero jtorlis...@gmail.com Fecha: sábado, 3 de mayo de 2014 Asunto: [Qgis-developer] error starting qgis (built from source) Para: Larry Shaffer lar...@dakotacarto.com I'm not a Linux guru, but I've had the same problem some days ago. It's related to that pointed in a previous message (the system doesn't know where to look for those libraries). I haven't been able to solve it in a nice way with a fancy, for sure one-liner magic console command but just installing to /usr instead of /usr/local (I seem to recall that you've to set properly CMAKE_INSTALL_PATH when ccmake) did the trick for me. Would be nice to find the right way, anyway All the best Jorge Tornero El viernes, 2 de mayo de 2014, Larry Shaffer lar...@dakotacarto.com escribió: Hi, On Fri, May 2, 2014 at 2:53 PM, chris marx chrism...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, So those options already had the correct paths, so I didn't need to update them. I have the oracle instant client and sdk libraries installed, and cmake didn't complain about not finding them. Any other ideas? Maybe you need to update your LD_LIBRARY_PATH so QGIS or Qt knows of the custom OCI lib path during runtime? The qsqlocispatial Qt SQL driver should be installed in Qt's plugins/sqldrivers/ dir (reason you may have needed sudo). It is the one linked against the OCI client. Maybe check that it is installed correctly, and that the OCI lib is linked correctly, using `ldd`? This all assumes that it is the OCI lib stuff that is not being found in your error, and not something else. Maybe some Linux gurus can help further.
