[SOLVED] qt documentation missing?

Hi all,

Is qt suppose to come with its documentation. If so, I can't find it.
qtdoc tries to use kdeinit4_wrapper instead of kdeinit5_wrapper, looks for $QTDIR instead of $QT5DIR.
The html files for qt should be in $QT5DIR/doc/html. The value of $QT5DIR is /usr/lib64/qt5, there is no doc directory.

Are the docs not supposed to be included in 15, or did I do something wrong?

Your qtdoc is from KDE4. It is inside the kde-dev-scripts-4.14.3-x86_64 package which was in KDE4 in Slackware 14.2 and Slackware current pre 15 somewhere in 2020.
Have you upgrade a Slackware 14.2 to Slackware 15.0 ?

In this case have you upgraded every packages and how ?

This package should have been upgraded with the kde-dev-scripts-21.12.1-x86_64 package from KDE5 if you have installed KDE5 and removed KDE4.

Thank you for your answer, but I did not upgrade from 14.2. I have just now downloaded kde-dev-scripts-21.12.1-x86_64-1.txz from a ftp-site and used /sbin/explodepkg. Then looked at qtdoc and it's the one pointing to kdeinit4_wrapper and $QTDIR.

That latest package seems to have a problem. It is labelled as a KDE5 package but the script qtdoc inside the package is the KDE4 one. May be there is a problem with the Slackbuild of the official Slackware 15 for this package. I will look deeply.

The latest kde-dev-scripts packages has a new patch which is saying :

qtdoc remove not working qtdoc executable
Reasons: kdeinit4_wrapper does not exist,
$QTDIR/doc/html does not exist.

So this script come from KDE4 and is now obsolete in KDE5. This script was left by mistake from KDE devs.

I see ... from what I can tell from the qt5.Slackbuild, the docs are never made. Which I find a little bit strange, because there is an application called assistant-qt5 for the docs...which has no docs.

There is :
-docdir /usr/doc/qt5-$PKGVER
In the SlackBuild and the (probably not compiled) docs are there.

But it seems not compiled :
make docs
make install_docs

were not called in the SlackBuild.

In the slackbuild for qt in 14.2 it does contain "-nomake docs". So I don't know what, if anything, has gone wrong, but I do like to have the docs

I had searched but not found this link, but since KDE/QT is the main desktop I thought docs for qt would be installed. The docs for gtk+2 and gtk+3 are installed but gtk+ and gtk+4 are not. Anyways I will mark my post as solved.
