Install precompiled qt 4.6 in /opt?

warnec · 2009-12-02 20:40:06

1) I'd like to grab qt 4.6 and install it in /opt to build Arora w/ it (while having 4.5.3 for rest of KDE). I just don't like the idea of having to download and compile this much of code (whole qt). I'd like to know if I can find any precompiled pkgs for qt 4.6.

If (above)=yes
then echo 'where can I find them ?'
else run(secondquesition)

;secondquestion:

I'd like to know if this pkg:

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30289

Points to the source of the now stable and officialy released qt 4.6. If yes, does it mean that it is somehow 'frozen' (you know, stopped being a heavily-developed branch and became stable)

Ps.: Sorry about this pseudocode, I just felt like doing something funny

The branch pointed to by that pkg should be the official stable 4.6.

Great, but you already jumped to the 'secondquestion' part.

'Secondquestion' was only supposed to be ran if '(above)' (the '1)' question) turned out to be 'yes'.

Don't want to be offending, just have some kind of twisted humor today (No, I'm not drunk)

Not only did I not follow your logic...but the my return value was also incorrect. It seems the 4.6-stable branch is reporting as 4.7, as per qmake -v.
So I will not pass go and I will not collect $200.

There's kde-qt (looks like 4.6 stable to me) in ProgDan's repo.

Not answering any of your questions but... Pierre has made a build of Qt-4.6 available if you want to test it:
http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/ … 14504.html

So far only minor font issues appear to have surfaced.

Looks like this pkg here:

qt-4.6.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

(from https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre/packages/x86_64/)
will suit my needs.

Two questions:

1) I'm using kdemod, and there is a special qt package 'qtmod'. I surmise it's because of incompatibilities with original qt Arch pkg.
As the pkg from pierre repo was propably built for vanilla Arch KDE, will it work for me anyway? (I don't want to use it with KDE packages, but build one qt program, Arora, with it)

2) The files inside propably install themselves to something like /usr/bin or /usr/lib. Is there any way to make them install in /opt?

I took a look here:

http://www.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman.conf.5.html

and the RootDir options seems like what I'd need.
I'll give it a shot and post back.
UPDATE:

[warnec@chakra-desktop ~]$ LANG=C RootDir=/opt/qt46 sudo pacman -U qt-4.6.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
loading package data...
checking dependencies...
error: replacing packages with -U is not supported yet
error: you can replace packages manually using -Rd and -U
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: qt: conflicts with qtmod
[warnec@chakra-desktop ~]$

Although it seems to conflict w/ qtmod, I will simply install it with no conflicts check, because it isn't meant to replace it - as I said, I just need the files to compile Arora.
UPDATE 2:

[warnec@chakra-desktop ~]$ LANG=C RootDir=/opt/qt46 sudo pacman -Ud qt-4.6.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz                                                                  
loading package data...

[warnec@chakra-desktop ~]$

So the RootDir variable seems to do nothing. It still tries to install to /usr.
UPDATE 3:
Setting /opt/qt46 globally in /etc/pacman.conf seems to have done the trick.

[warnec@chakra-desktop ~]$ LANG=C sudo pacman -Ud qt-4.6.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz loading package data...

If you don't want to compile it yourself, why not grab trolls' installer?
