much PMs needed :(
is there any package that Makefile.pl depends on?
I searched and failed :(

While installing QTcore source package, I met this error:

Can't locate ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at Makefile.PL line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 2.

I was trying to get it to work with Qt 4.4.0, which apparently doesn't work. I compiled with Qt 4.3.5, which compiles, but it doesn't seem like all the features are there. $widget->{children} always seems to return an empty array, and $listView->selectionModel() causes a segfault.

...looks like I'm an idiot. $widget->children() works just fine.

I hate that you can't edit your posts.

Wow. Perhaps if I want to manipulate a selectionModel, a 'use QItemSelectionModel' is in order.

GD, I really wish I could edit posts.

It seems like QGraphicsWidget is missing from the typemap in QtGui-4.004. I added it, but now I'm stuck:

I added it as:

in QtGui-4.004/typemap

I'm trying to compile your librarie with Mandriva Linux 2008.0 (Qt 4.3.3 and Perl 5.8.8) and Mandriva Linux Cooker (development version, Qt 4.3.3 and Perl 5.10).

It fails the same way in both distributions.

The log from compiling in Mandriva Linux Cooker is:

I'm too newbie with perl and don't have a clue what i can do to be successful on this task.

Thank you very much for your efforts to provide Qt4 in Perl!!

thanks, I will recheck on v.4.3

It get a compilation error :

QString.xs: In function ‘void XS_Qt__QStringRef_unicode(PerlInterpreter*, CV*)’:
QString.xs:1629: error: invalid conversion from ‘const QChar*’ to ‘QChar*’

After adding a const_cast in QString.xs, it compiles, but the tests fails:

The perl module is linked to QtCore:
$ ldd blib/arch/auto/QtCore/QtCore.so | grep Qt
libQtCore.so.4 => /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4 (0x00002ac0ab29b000)

This is on an up-to-date debian unstable x86_64, with gcc 4.2, Qt 4.3.2 and perl 5.8.8.

Also, I think there is a typo at line 12 of Makefile.PL:
$QtCore_path = $arcs{-qc};
(but $QtCore_path is not used in the file)

For const QChar need add
const QChar *<tab>O_OBJECT
in typemap
But this must was see (and make) create_xs script

I install fedora8 today and check it on Qt4.3

PS my email have in arhive.

> $QtCore_path = $arcs{-qc};
> (but $QtCore_path is not used in the file)

$QtCore_path need for QtGui and other lib

> $QtCore_path = $arcs{-qc};
> (but $QtCore_path is not used in the file)

$QtCore_path need for QtGui and other lib

I tested program with Qt4.3.2 (fedora8 i386) and Qt4.2.1 (CentOS5 x86_64). Problem found only with x86_64.

For fix const QChar I updated arhive QtCore-4.000.tar.bz2
