Hello,

i had an idea for an improvement in KPat, so i downloaded the sources and tried to build it. It failed, because it needs Qt4 4.6.0, so a downladed qt4.6 and made ./configure, make and make install. So now i have Qt4.6 installed, but my cmake doesn't know about it...

Simply linking the directory of the old qt includes to the new ones doesn't help, since the moc-files are still created with the old qt version.

I would be really glad for a hint, where i could find a solution to this problem.

Thank you very much!

I have the following script as part of my ~/.bashrc.

Code: Select all

if [ -z "${KDE_ENV_SET}" ]; then                                 
    export KDEDIR="/usr"
    export KDETRUNKDIR="/path/to/where/you/install/kpat" # Change Me!!
    export KDEDIRS="${KDEDIR}:${KDETRUNKDIR}"

    export QTDIR="/path/to/qt/46/install" # Change Me!!
    export QT_PLUGIN_PATH="${KDETRUNKDIR}/lib/kde4/plugins:${KDEDIR}/lib/kde4/plugins"

    export PATH="${KDETRUNKDIR}/bin:${KDEDIR}/bin:${QTDIR}/bin:${PATH}"
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${KDETRUNKDIR}/lib:${KDEDIR}/lib:${QTDIR}/lib"
    export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="${KDETRUNKDIR}:${KDEDIR}:${QTDIR}"
    export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${KDETRUNKDIR}/share/pkgconfig:${KDETRUNKDIR}/lib/pkgconfig:${KDEDIR}/lib/pkgconfig:${KDEDIR}/share/pkgconfig:${QTDIR}/lib/pkgconfig"

    # Set the XDG data path, helps finding plugins, etc
    export XDG_DATA_DIRS="${KDETRUNKDIR}/share:${KDEDIR}/share:${XDG_DATA_DIRS}"

    # Don't accidentally get sourced again.
    export KDE_ENV_SET=1
fi

You need to change the items marked with "# Change Me!!" appropriately, then add it to ~/.bashrc and log out and in again. Note that this will switch you to using Qt 4.6 for all desktop applications which may cause some bugs.

Thank you very much! It works now
