QT libraries copied by install target #14
Comments
Heh, you are spot on there I believe. The Qt libraries following RH5 are too old, to this avoids depending on working out-of-tree libs. On windows users do not have permission to install applications by default, simply copying the Install folder over and running the binary is a work-around. It is not ideal, and I believe we are open for suggestions. |
you may think so... unless redhat is utterly utterly evil and static links everything (even redhat aint that bad);
that's all external, distro specific external libraries libQtCore depends on (the other components are worse). you are fooling yourself. my suggestion; do it as a distro expects. you need backported libraries? backport them and install them properly using your package manager. |
as for windows, it's sadly the way the world works. that was my intended reference with the 'less developed' operating systems. for completion; osx is just as evil as windows, but they hide their nonsense in a .dmg so most users are unaware. |
We are aware of these issues, but we have no plans for cleaning up the installation / packaging system in the near future. |
I have no clue why this is done, it looks like a remedy from .. less developed operating systems... ?
