qt: the GUI module requires the network module to work properly

2009-07-27T13:02:13Z

Running a simple Qt GUI application on an embedded systems without QtNetwork installed doesn't work, the dynamic loader complains that QtNetwork is not present. While I'm not a Qt build system expert, it looks like this dependency really exists, since the src/gui/gui.pri file in Qt sources contains the following line: embedded: QT += network Which would mean that the GUI module needs the network module to operate properly. And a few files in src/gui/embedded/ also include some QtNetwork stuff. This isn't really surprising since the Qt QWS mechanism uses communication between processes through a Unix socket. Therefore, we add a dependency on the network module in the GUI module. We use a 'select' dependency here, since it's might not be really obvious to the user that the GUI module requires the network one. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

qt: fix build with external toolchain

2009-07-27T09:54:35Z

Set QMAKE_LFLAGS so that at link time --sysroot is passed to the linker, and Qt finds the external libraries. This fixes Qt build when zlib or other libraries are external, instead of using Qt's internal copy. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

qt: put the Qt options into a submenu

2009-07-24T22:18:41Z

Put the Qt options into a submenu to make the configuration interface easier to use. The comment on the dependency on C++ has to be put before the menuconfig definition, otherwise kconfig gets confused and doesn't put the suboptions into a submenu. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

qt: rename qtopia4 to qt

2009-07-24T22:05:35Z

A while ago, Trolltech (now part of Nokia) included Qtopia directly inside Qt. So let's rename the qtopia4 package to simply qt, which will be more familiar to our users. Of course, the version we compile is Qt for Embedded Linux. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni
