Von Qt5 auf Qt6 – ein großer Schritt für #QGIS!

Das Supportende von #Qt5 macht das Upgrade auf #Qt6 für QGIS 4.0 unumgänglich.

Qt ist Basis für alle grafischen Elemente und liefert wichtige Funktionen .

Der Umstieg ermöglicht innovative Features, von denen künftige QGIS-Versionen profitieren.

Testing DeepSeek-r1 to make updated vector drawing tool for my assembly engine. Now in QT5.

So far so good.

UPDATE: colors, undo

#archlinux has removed #lazarus-gtk2 package and replaced by lazarus-gtk3.

The problem is, that lazarus-gtk3 does not work (does not even start correctly under #gnome).

Only solution as far as I know is to install #Qt5 packages: lazarus-qt5 (and qt5pas) - or resp. for #Qt6. Works under Gnome with some flaws.

Trying to fix a no longer maintained #Qt4-based project to work with #Qt5. Basically getting rid of the X11/Xlib references for functionality merged in #Qt now.

I'm glad I've been doing French refreshers on Duolingo because all the code is in French.

(Sure, the code tells what it's trying to do, but knowing what a membername actually means saves a bit of time analysing intent of other source files. First see if I can restore full functionality, then I might look at renaming things. Or not.)

#Plasma 6.2.5 uploaded to #debian sid.

It's still building on riscv64 and s390x and it will take a couple more days before migrating to #trixie.

Following suggestions from @guillem I've split/removed even more of the qt5 dependencies and build dependencies so it should be easier to trim down some #qt5 packages for those interested.

The default installation will remain dual stack to fully support all the qt5 apps still around.

With a huge diff of +3,972 / −3,667 lines, rewriting the project tree of @novelwriter to use a model/view set from the previous approach that synced changes between the data class and the view widget's internal model didn't result in less code.

But I think it resulted in an easier to maintain code, and hopefully more stable over time. Syncing the project state between two locations is just a little error-prone, and Qt's default implementation is also a bit buggy.

More testing: added genAI narrative.

Fun fact: Llama 3.2 1b and 3b are not good for this. I changed to IBM Granite 3.0-dense 2b and it performs surprisingly good!

After over 2 months of hard work, all #KDE applications and #KDEPlasma have been updated to the latest versions! #Qt5.15 and #Qt6.7, including #QtWebEngine, also received updates. A big step forward for the #OpenBSD ports ecosystem!

I've been fighting with #Fedora40, #cmake, and #qt5 all day, and am at my wits end.

cmake needs to know the location of the qt5-config.cmake file, but from what I've been able to tell, there is no such file on my computer.

There are several QT5 directories in /usr, but all are completely empty. I'm not even sure if QT5 is actually installed at this point. (Though the packages qt5-qtbase and qt5-qtsvg definitely are.)

In this video, you will learn how to use the JSON classes in Qt (5 or later) to implement a communication protocol between two processes. Special care is taken not to block the GUI thread in the graphical client application, using asynchronous handling only: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ_FZqA6AXQ #QtDev #JSON #Qt5 #Qt6

So on a whim I ordered the #Trimui Smart Pro, a Linux based handheld retro-emulator thing.

It arrived the other day and I'm actually quite surprised. It's a pretty capable system, performance wise. The display is pretty sharp and the built quality is decent. (It came pre-loaded with a shedload of roms.)

Meanwhile, I've discovered their toolchain and set up cross-compiling.

It's quite easy to run #homebrew from the SD card. It supports #SDL2 and #QT5!

#KDE released Gear 24.08. I don't think it will make it into #OpenBSD 7.6. First I have to update our #Qt5 and #Qt6 ecosystem to the latest versions.

Done :) #KDE KF6 frameworks pushed to #haikuports for #HaikuOS, atm a few builds to update some dependency fixes for #LLVM17 and #Qt5 will be pushed to haikuports, once they are done I guess a few KPim6 framewoks will be added before #Itinerary will see it's light on Haiku.

OK, seriously did not expect that to happen during this decade. #amarok #kde #qt #musicplayer

(But they only now finished the port to #Qt5 with #Qt6 coming in the next months.)
