Well, enjoy!

Incidentally, how does Konqueror + webkit (if that's what you're using) compare to Firefox? i.e. why you want to switch? Does it work way better/faster?

I've never liked Firefox much, mostly because it's slow and completely lacks desktop integration. For instance, downloads come up in that dumb pop-up window instead of the system tray notifications, and desktop file association settings don't apply to Firefox. Drives me crazy. But Konqueror has had rendering engine issues for awhile now... and I just tested all the sites I've been having trouble with. They all work great. Even better, Konqueror renders faster now than it did before... and it was faster than FF to begin with.

One thing... in order to make webkit your default rendering engine you have to go into a terminal and enter the following:

Code:

keditfiletype text/html

Then in the resulting window click the Embedding tab and move WebKit to the top of the list. Hopefully they'll come up with a more user-friendly way to get into that menu for KDE 4.6.

Anyway, it's working great so far! I'll yell if any issues crop up.

Thanks for the added information, especially that command to set webkit as the default. Someone's bound to be looking for that at some point.

Best regards!

Hmm... BrZ: what Slackbuild You used, and what tarball You have? I tried with qt-everywhere-opensource_4.7.1.tar.gz, but no luck with the compilation

Got this error messages:

Code:

kernel/qapplication.cpp: In function ‘void initResources()’:
kernel/qapplication.cpp:140:28: error: ‘qstyle’ was not declared in this scope
kernel/qapplication.cpp:140:34: error: ‘Q_INIT_RESOURCE_EXTERN’ was not declared in this scope
kernel/qapplication.cpp:141:5: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘do’

kernel/qapplication.cpp:146:28: error: ‘qprintdialog’ was not declared in this scope
kernel/qapplication.cpp:147:5: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘do’

I'm compiling with this configure command and switches:

Code:

./configure -prefix /usr \
-libdir /usr/lib64 \
-sysconfdir /etc \
-plugindir /usr/share/qt4/plugin \
-importdir /usr/share/qt4/import \
-datadir /usr/share/qt4 \
-translationdir /usr/share/qt4/translation \
-examplesdir /usr/share/qt4/examples \
-demosdir /usr/share/qt4/demos \
-opensource \
-qt-sql-mysql -qt-sql-sqlite \
-plugin-sql-mysql -plugin-sql-sqlite \
-graphicssystem opengl \
-opengl \
-glib \
-v

Any ideas, how to solve? Slack64-current.

EDIT:
I tried with the SlackBuild script from official Slackware repository (changed only paths and filenames, and added OpenGL support) and still the same.

@Martinezio,

Using the same source (qt-everywhere-opensource_4.7.1.tar.gz) and this script. No idea what that error means. Scroll up and try to see what procedure or file or whatever can give some clue. By the way, ever saw this error with Qt before: "libEGL fatal: DRI2: failed to authenticate"?

Martinezio · 11-15-2010, 06:26 AM

On my log there is no clue at all

There is no message telling me, that something is missing, or whatever. Just the error and exit.
I'm trying once again with Your options (btw: probably You have a minor bug in Your script - there is no \ sing on one line while invoking options for configure script

so the followed lines are ommited).

BrZ · 11-15-2010, 04:26 PM

thx =]

Martinezio · 11-16-2010, 01:32 AM

Well... Still no luck

There must be a problem with something else, but don't know where... Google tells me nothing

Just this error:

Code:

Oh, well... Seems I need to wait for official slackware package of QT 4.7

BrZ · 11-16-2010, 11:32 AM

You can try again after the last update. And, yes. The official ones are the best. I'm very happy to replace some of mine with the ones shipped by the crew.

Martinezio · 11-19-2010, 01:36 AM

Well, since I don't like to wait, I've done it myself

I think, the problem was in glib2 library. After upgrading system to latest current updates, making QT 4.7.1 was an easy pie

Now, I try to build it once again, but now with OpenGL native support.

Edit:
Ok, building process goes fine, but KDE 4.5.2 doesn't work with QT 4.7.1 with --graphicsystem=opengl - got black screen (apps are working in background, but no UI was seen - just blank desktop and mouse pointer). Perhaps it will work, but I think I must first rebuild whole KDE system :/
