Custom Query (301 matches)

I just installed the Qt4 4.51 WPI archives to check out QDesigner with some existing Qt projects I have (created on Windows, using Qt 4.60).

Sofar I did not install the GCC compiler yet, just playing with the designer.

The very first project I tried, with one dialog, failed to load that dialog with an error message stating the file was not a valid ui file, with additional info saying:

++++++ An error has occurred while reading the ui file at line 1, column 2: Expected '?', '!', or '[a-zA-Z]', but got '/'. ++++++

Of course those lines look fine in an editor, and the files works fine on Windows as well as the MAC. A small dummy dialog created on OS/2 does read back properly.

Testing the larger dialog by removing several widgets from the ui file, lead me to believe there is some size constraint (or overflow bug). After removing checkboxes one-by-one, the file became 'acceptable' when 4 of the 8 checkboxes had been removed, and the file size went down from almost 9884 bytes to 8376.

I will try to attach an OK and BAD version of the ui file.

TIA for any insight on this problem ...

If you try to install the lib package on a system that doesn't have XWorkplace installed, it will fail as described ​here.

GCC 3.3.5 pukes on line 173 in

src\gui\kernel\qkeymapper_p.h:

enum { KeyLayoutSize? = sizeof(keyLayout) / sizeof(keyLayout[0]) };

It doesn't seem to allow to declare an enum from an integer expression.
