mm I compiled qt-4.5-rc1 without problems but now every kde program works ok except plasma that crash with sig 11. Any ideas?

With which options did you compile Qt? For me, compiling it with "-graphicssystem raster" and "-graphicssystem opengl" caused serious instabilities, but everything except KDM seems to run fine if you compile it to use the native grpahics system.

KWin requires the native graphics engine to composite. If you change the default you must run KWin from the terminal with:

kwin --replace -graphicssystem native &

Thanks @Zarin, I didn't know that! Are y'all planning on enabling KWin to use the opengl graphics engine for 4.3.x or 4.4.x? I've read, compared to OSX on the same hardware, X-compositing is incredibly slow, and if the stats on this blog correctly represent hardware in general, using the opengl engine would really narrow that gap (if not, that's OK too).

Anyway, keep it up -- two of my friends have already switched to (GNU)Linux+KDE after seeing it on my laptop, and several others have looked starry-eyed after watching me play around with KWin's compositing effects

I can't get no stable kde-system when using opengl... the apps segfaults or the colours are different than they should be. I've tried the radeon opensource and the proprietary drivers with no luck.
I've got kdm working by recompiling (_after_ installing qt-4.5) first kdelibs and then kdebase-workspace.

What I'm using now is qt-4.5 compiled with '-graphicssystem raster' and kwin will be started with '--graphicssystem native'.

You can try to recompile kde after installing qt-4.5 . I would start by recompiling kdelibs and then kdebase-workspace.

Does this build package use opengl for QT 4.5?

I am having tons of issues with the tray icons, pretty much annoying the hell out of me.
Kde 4.2 is damn near perfect except for the tray icon corruption.

Hi, any get the package to build on 64bit?

When I try to build it, I get a bunch of ODBC errors:

Snorkel, I have the same problem as you.

sid350 · 2009-02-26 10:32:37

i've edited PKGBUILD (disabled odbc etc.), here it is http://pastebin.com/d490a13aa
now it works for me.
hope it'll help.

i've tried to build it with graphicssystem raster, but with --graphicssystem native fonts look much smoother. so i leave it native.

eric · 2009-02-26 12:17:22

There's also a patch that should solve the issues with ODBC:

thats interesting with the smoother fonts on the native graphicsystem.
I compiled both with native and raster but i dont know which one I am running now
but it has nicer fonts then the other graphicsystem.
Is there an easy command to find out what graphicsystem is active?

Ok everybody! I've been using this thread as a reference to compile qt 4.5 rc1 for the last few days, so far, no success. BUT!! qt4.5 has just been released!

http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2009/03 … l-shelves/

go get it! I'm going to try to compile it later tonight

Best results for me have been to compile qt 4.5 with native graphicssystem (so not using raster/openGL). KDE 4.2.1 is so far a very pleasant experience

sidenote: now just waiting for Opera to release a x86_64 Qt4 build... could be a good few months :S

Arch Linux
