[Qgis-developer] Best practices to run multiple QGIS versions on same machine

2012-08-03 Thread Ivan Mincik
Hi, I would like to ask, what is the best practice to run two and more different QGIS versions on the same machine. I have QGIS 1.8 installed from regular Debian packages and QGIS master from GIT repository compiled and installed locally to my home folder. As time goes on, these versions will

I seem some problems too, particularly rasters don't show properly in 1.8 (no bands are selected), probably because of some settings from qgis-master. We might want to change the name of the QGis.conf (say QGis-dev.conf) in the master version, and revert it before releasing. Etienne On Fri, Aug

As it says, when using a system SDK. If you just compile for your current system, with no SDK options, you don't need to do this. I suppose this should be removed, since I was aiming for simple current system builds in the instructions. On Aug 2, 2012, at 11:44 PM, Noli Sicad wrote: My

Hi all. Just tried the improvements by Etienne Jim: - quite nice to have the same ramps for both vectors and rasters - it would be very good if the download unzip of colour ramps would be made automatic, single-clicky-style - would be good if one could filter them by metadata (e.g. slope) - how
