Has anyone here tried building QT 4.7 on 13.1 or -current?

Not me

But if I wanted to give it a try, I would try to re-use the Slackbuild shipped in the source directory of the distribution, after having checked if there are new configure options.

Yep. Initially had problems with PyQt and KDE (bindings), but all was sorted. No other major issues. 4.7.1 is out.

Did you use the existing Slackbuild, or did you do it from scratch?

Used the existing SlackBuild.

ps: Seems CVE-2010-1822 (crash-svg-image) wasn't fixed on 4.7.1. (I'm supposing as the patch was applied without warning. You'll need to research)

Could you give me a run-down of the probs you had and how hard they were to correct?

Basically patience =]

They don't built. It was with KDE 4.5.2, PyQt 4.7.7 and Qt 7.0. Kdebindings refused to compile smoke and PyQt errors with "qgl.h"(?).

A couple of days and I found a patch to PyQt. Some commits released at kdebindings snv made KDE happy again.

Slackware is a dream to play around like this. KDE 4.5.3 (alien's scripts) had no errors with Qt 7.0 and PyQt 4.8.1. Today Qt 7.1 built fine.

Do You enable OpenGL support in QT? ('-graphicssystem opengl -opengl' configure script options)
Note, that OpenGL support for QT 4.7.x is in development stage and default graphicssystem is software renderer, so qgl.h isn't installed.

So I need to upgrade pyqt as well?

The whole point of this exercise, by the way, is to get kwebkit working better.

@Martinezio,
Yes, enabled as Glib support, just to see what happens and how the pieces came together. GTK 2.22.2 and Glib 2.26.0. Build Qt 7.1 again with OpenGL and Glib support. Another packages rebuilt on the way, but with little deviance. It's purely for fun. My workstation rides with -current32 (Robby's xorg) and is very, very solid. No complain about Slack current state.

@2handband,
I was trying to use Scribus to play with Google Docs trough PyQt as wrapper. KDE seems to use (need) PyQt, so why not made both happy with new bugs =]

Okay, I stuck the new source code in the qt directory. What's the command to execute the slackbuild?

../Slackware/slackware64-current/source/l/qt

Copy to another place (tmp or src) and fire up qt.SlackBuild. I'll build it again without OpenGL support and patches to keep around and reinstall by the weekend.

That's odd... running qt.Slackbuild does nothing... no error messages, but no action either. It just returns me tho the command prompt.

You might examine the slackbuild script for a line somewhere near the beginning like:
and if it is there, temporarily comment it out, save the file and try running it again.

Thanks, but no such line.
