Problems with qt-embedded

[Nikolaus Regnat <nregnat@gmx.de>]

Hi

I'm having massive problems using the qt-embedded packages currently available 
under debian.

I can compile a small "Hello World" application (shows just one QPushButton) 
with libqt-dev (2.3.1-22) on my woody based system and this works as 
expected.

After that I compiled the same app with libqt-emb-dev (2.3.2-3) and saved the 
/usr/bin/qvfb program to a local directory because unfortunately one can not 
install libqt-dev (which includes qvfb) and libqt-emb-dev (which is needed to 
compile applications to let them run under qvbf) at the same time!?!? 
Compiling and linking against libqte worked fine but when I tried to ran the 
program with ./app -qws -display QVFb:0 (running a qvfb of course) I got
the message:
"Cannot find font definition file /usr/local/qt-embedded/lib/fonts/fontdir - 
is $QTDIR set correctly?"

Ok, so i set QTDIR=/usr (cause the fonts/fontdir is stored under /usr/lib/ and 
setting QTDIR to /usr/share/qt as told in the README.Debian file of 
libqt-emb-dev does not work). After this I tried to start the app again and I 
got the message:
"Connected to VFB server: 240 x 320 x 32
Segmentation fault"
The qvfb got green and a cursor appeared but that`s it.

Getting tired of this I use one of my unstable boxes to try the latest 
unstable packages. I tried both the packages for qt2 emb and qt3 emb but none 
of them could fix my problems. Starting the app with 
./app -qws -display QVFb:0 under a qt3 emb environment gave me:
"QVFb: driver not found"
and the qvfb process spilled out endless lines:
"Semop unlock failure Identifier removed
Semop lock failure Identifier removed"

Using the  libqte2-dev (2.3.4) packages didn't work either (btw: there's no 
qvfb for qt2 emb under unstable and using the qvfb from the 
qt3-dev-tools-embedded package also segfaults...


So I gave up. Can anyone _please_ point me in the right direction on how to 
use the qt embedded packages (either qt2 or qt3) with qvfb (I don't want to 
switch to a console to test the app) ???


Thanks everyone who read all that stuff above ;-)
