Hi Keith, I found a thread discussing breakage of qt due to the evolution of the Xft:
http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/xpert/2002-April/016854.html But the message is pretty old and the errors I am getting are different (no doubt due to the fact that Xft has continued to evolve and that I am trying to compile qt 3.0.5, not 3.0.3). I checked your download site on xfree86.org and found qtkernel.tar.bz2. But it's pretty clear that that patch isn't intended to make qt 3.0.5 work with current cvs HEAD xfree86. I tried it and got lots of errors. Here are the errors I get with stock qt 3.0.5: make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/qt/src' g++ -c -pipe -Wall -W -O2 -fPIC -DQT_SHARED -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_NO_NIS -DQT_NO_XFTNAMEUNPARSE -DQT_NO_IMAGEIO_MNG -DQT_NO_IMAGEIO_JPEG -DQT_NO_STYLE_AQUA -DQT_NO_STYLE_INTERLACE -DQT_NO_STYLE_COMPACT -I../../../X11R6/include/freetype2 -I3rdparty/libpng -I3rdparty/zlib -I/usr/local/qt/include -I../../../X11R6/include -I.moc/release-shared/ -I/usr/local/qt/mkspecs/linux-g++ -o .obj/release-shared/qtaddons_x11.o .kernel/qtaddons_x11.cpp kernel/qtaddons_x11.cpp: In function `int _XftNameUnparseValue(_FcValue, char*, char**, int*)': kernel/qtaddons_x11.cpp:108: error: invalid conversion from `const FcChar8*' to `const char*' kernel/qtaddons_x11.cpp:118: warning: enumeration value `FcTypeMatrix' not handled in switch kernel/qtaddons_x11.cpp:118: warning: enumeration value `FcTypeCharSet' not handled in switch kernel/qtaddons_x11.cpp:118: warning: enumeration value `FcTypeFTFace' not handled in switch kernel/qtaddons_x11.cpp:118: warning: enumeration value `FcTypeLangSet' not handled in switch kernel/qtaddons_x11.cpp: At global scope: kernel/qtaddons_x11.cpp:123: error: `XftValueList' was not declared in this scope kernel/qtaddons_x11.cpp:123: error: `v' was not declared in this scope kernel/qtaddons_x11.cpp:123: error: parse error before `*' token kernel/qtaddons_x11.cpp: In function `int _XftNameUnparseValueList(...)': kernel/qtaddons_x11.cpp:125: error: `v' undeclared (first use this function) kernel/qtaddons_x11.cpp:125: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.) kernel/qtaddons_x11.cpp:127: error: `escape' undeclared (first use this function) kernel/qtaddons_x11.cpp:127: error: `destp' undeclared (first use this function) kernel/qtaddons_x11.cpp:127: error: `lenp' undeclared (first use this function) kernel/qtaddons_x11.cpp: In function `int XftNameUnparse(XftPattern*, char*, int)': kernel/qtaddons_x11.cpp:143: error: `XftPatternElt' undeclared (first use this function) kernel/qtaddons_x11.cpp:143: error: `e' undeclared (first use this function) kernel/qtaddons_x11.cpp:146: error: `FcPatternFind' undeclared (first use this function) make[2]: *** [.obj/release-shared/qtaddons_x11.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/qt/src' _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
