KDE3.1, qt3.0.5 and GCC3.2???
I realise this is not exactly Debian related, but I know that quie a few of
you are working on building KDE and QT with GCC3.2 and just wanted to ask
some experts.
I am getting ready to wipe my Debian Woody system and replace it with a
self-compiled Linux including the latest bells-N-whistles I could find.
I am starting with the LFS base system tarball, which includes GCC3.2 and a
few patches. As my card is not 3D accelerated in XFree86, I'll be using xig's
Accelerated X server, but I still need to build XFree86, since xig does not
provide most of the X libs or header files, expecting them to allready be
installed.
I'll be building KDE3.1 once it's released, scheduled for Monday, the 11th.
The latest I heard was that GCC3.2, KDE3.1 and trolltechs qt3.0.5 did not
play together well, and that KDE's qt-copy should be used instead. Is this
still the case? Is this likely to change soon?
I'l also be building KOffice1.2, the latest stable version, but KDevelop is
giving me pause for thought.
I know that KDevelop2.x has stopped development and that Gideon is the next
version as KDevelop3.0. What has been peoples experiences with both of these
on KDE3.0? Is Gideon a fast moving target that I would be better to wait for
the stable release? Is the stable version of KDevelop good for KDE3.1
development?
Last time I looked at KDevelop, the documentation was seriously out-of-date.
Has this been worked on?
Now I am aware that many people here are diligently working on packaging the
latest-N-greatest KDE has to offer for Debian, and before Woody's release, I
did track those developments. However, I am looking to improve my systems
performance by limiting what gets installed and optimized compilation for my
Dual PII system rather than the 386 compiled Debian packages. Not to mention
the great learning experience for doing it myself.
Thank you all for your diligent work and expertise.
Cheers,
John Gay
