If you could do this, you do me (and hope others, too) a favor!

There’s no simple way to install libphonon in the old & unsupported CentOs 5.4/REL 5.4…

Bon Voyage and good backport

@fano

Thanks for the feedback.

I noticed a similar problem when trying to adapt to the new packaging with Centos 6, which unlike C5 relies heavily on the Qt4 packages. I have some preliminary packages for 6 that include the updated libphonon that comes with the Qt toolkit, but I have not back-ported it to 5. I’m in the middle of moving 1200 miles (the truck is packed and leaves today) so it’s unlikely that I’ll get to it in the next 3-4 weeks, but I do plan to get back to it when I get settled on the other end, both to finish testing the C6 packages, and to backport the updated phonon to the C5 package structure.

Cheers.

Hy Joe!

First thanks to have done this RPMs you’re doing a great service to the Cent OS users

But I’ve a problem, my Qt WebKit based application requires libphonon, it should part of Qt or its 3rd party?
There’s a Cent OS 5.4/5.5 RPM containing it?

If is an optional part of Qt could you add, this?

Thanks,
fano

There are still problems with qt4-devel and qt4-doc. The messages are: “Package does not match intended download.”

Thanks JATF, I now just run it from terminal. Now, I can run, but I can’t debug, the message is Unable to starg gdb ‘gdb’: No such file or directory. Should I install just regular gdb, or I need to get a “special” gdb that is just used for QT. If so, where/how should I get it?

Regards,

@nina802:

The qt-creator package does not come with an application launcher. I’ll make a custom one and include it in the next package. In the mean time you can either run it from a terminal or create an application shortcut to /usr/bin/qtcreator.

Cheers.

I’ll check it when I get home. Don’t know why the package would be out of synch. I haven’t changed it in quite a while. I’ll verify all the packages and then resynch the repository.

Open a terminal and type ‘qtcreator’ to see if it is installed. I’ll have to check on an app launcher, since I always run from the command line. I’ll try to got to it when I get back to the house.

On my centos, I just skipped the part to install qt4-doc.
I saw qt-creator when I did rpm -qa, however, I don’t see qt creator on my application menu. I see qt designer, qt config, and qt linguist though. Do I miss something here? Thanks.
