Getting the lates snapshot of qt

[Lykurg]

Hi,

I am going crazy! I want do download the newest development version of qt where some bugs are solved. But how? Snapshots are closed and in the git repository I don't find the right one? Does it exist or isn't there currently any possibility to get the newest sources?


Thanks

This is called addiction ;) You have to join "anonymous Qt-oholics" group.

Yep, you can get the latest snapshot. Take a look here => ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/snapshots/ (Well, maybe it is not as latest as you expect, but nevertheless it is a snapshot =) )

[wysota]

I'm sure he meant something more recent than 4.5.0 :) There are no new snapshots and there won't be any. We need to find the url of the git repository.

[lyuts]

Oh, I see. Now I understand which snapshot is needed. Sorry for misleading.

Hey, that's not funny! I'm seriously ill. My Doctor has attested that. You can see it yourself, he has given my radiograph to me. Look:

http://www.qtcentre.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=3032&d=1237044680

So please help me to stop my compulsion neurosis to look every hour if I could find new sources at http://labs.trolltech.com/gitweb :eek:

I am going mad...

[wysota]

LOL...

I suggest you wait a bit. Even snapshots had a little "lag" after each stable release of Qt. I'm sure the repository will become available soon.

By the way I had a question...
How do we sync from git and build the latest code ? Do we need to recompile all or just the new code ??

Also, will it be appropriate to start a new thread on how to sync from git and use it ? Sorry for being so dumb, but you see I haven't used such web-projects and very much newbie in these :o

...the git repository isn't still updated! But when I will do:

cd /YeahItsHere
git clone git://labs.trolltech.com/qt/snapshot/4.5 (<- or whatever)
./configure && make

And to keep on date
cd /YeahItsHere
git checkout
make

And I guess, that only the new files will be compiled. (but I'am not really familiar with git, only have used svn...)

[Lykurg]

YEAH! YUHUUU! Y E S! S T R I K E!!!

It's here: http://labs.trolltech.com/gitweb?p=qt/all;a=summary!

But what the hell is the different between 4.5 and 4.6 snapshot?

[Lykurg]

:crying: hmm, I fail to build the newest sources (it fails seting symbolic links). What option I am missing?

Do you have those missing files?

[Lykurg]

the problem is that the dirs include/Qt and include/QtCore doesn't exists in the checkout. Even if i add them manually


lykurg@XXXXXX:/qt/all$ ll include/*
include/Qt:
insgesamt 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 lykurg lykurg 36 2009-04-10 18:47 qconfig.h -> /qt/all/src/corelib/global/qconfig.h

include/QtCore:
insgesamt 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 lykurg lykurg 36 2009-04-10 18:47 qconfig.h -> /qt/all/src/corelib/global/qconfig.h

the error still occur because in the dir src/corelib/global is only a file qconfig.h.qmake.

EDIT: in the dir are the files: qconfig.cpp qconfig-dist.h qconfig.h.qmake qconfig-large.h qconfig-medium.h qconfig-minimal.h qconfig-small.h

Ahh, after one day of searching I found the switch:
./configure -developer-build

[wysota]

Congratulations :)

[Lykurg]

Congratulations :)
Thanks ;)

For all other addicted persons out there:

cd /YourDictionary
git clone git://labs.trolltech.com/qt/all
mkdir build
cd build
./../all/configure

Then you don't need the developer switch and you can easy update your git repository and rebuild the libs...
