Hello
I'm planning to migrate to Qt5 on RHEL6. What is my best option of
installing it?
I tested with building Qt5 on CentOS6 and it works OK. But my usual
method on RHEL5 has been to download Fedora source RPMs from Koji and
build them on RHEL5. I would then create a custom RHEL DVD with these
packages so that Anaconda can install them for future installs.
Can I do the same with qt5* packages from Koji? Will I get the
*complete* parallel-installable Qt5 with that?
So far, I see the following packages (v5.1.1) on Koji:
qt5-qtbase
qt5-qtdeclarative
qt5-qtscript
qt5-qtsvg
qt5-qttools
qt5-qtwebkit
If Koji doesn't suit, my other option is to build Qt5 from the official
tar-ball and create a rather simple RPM from that so that I can include
it in a customized RHEL6 DVD for future installs.
So, please advice on my best option for Qt5/RHEL6..
By the way, I'm loving the KDE 4.10 packages for RHEL6 by Rex.. Thanks a
lot.. (any chance of 4.11 hitting EL6?, too greedy, heh ;-)

Probably rebuilding the the fedora src.rpm's. May require minor
tweaking wrt dependencies and such. I'd be willing to adapt things to
make it work.
If so, heck, could probably build for epel-6 officially

Very good chances... just need to find the time to make it happen. Also
been working a bit behind-the-scenes to make outside contributions
easier (ie, so it doesn't all block on me).

Great! Can you confirm if the qt5* packages on Koji are complete? I just
saw some more packages being populated today (qtgraphicaleffects &
qtmultimedia) while qtimageformats is empty (the only one).
I'll try to build against CentOS 6.4 and let you know the results. Since Qt
5.0 compiled fine on it, I'm hoping that I can get it to work without much
problems.

Tons of gratitude :-)

I'm trying to build qt5-qtbase.
After yum installing saveral build-requires, I'm left with this:
pkgconfig(atspi-2) is needed by qt5-qtbase-5.1.1-1.el6.i686
pkgconfig(glesv2) is needed by qt5-qtbase-5.1.1-1.el6.i686
pkgconfig(icu-i18n) is needed by qt5-qtbase-5.1.1-1.el6.i686
I'm assuming icu-i18n can be ignored as this pc file apparently came
only with ICU v4.6 onwards.
What about atspi-2 and glesv2? Can I safely remove these lines from the
spec file?
regards

tweaking wrt dependencies and such. I'd be willing to adapt things to

So far, I've successfully built qtbase, qtjsbackend, qtdeclarative.
qtwebkit is being built.
I've had to make only the following changes:
Comment out pkgconfig(atspi-2), pkgconfig(glesv2) and
pkgconfig(icu-i18n) from qtbase & pkgconfig(atspi-2) from qtwebkit build
requires.
(of course, webkit build is still going on.. fingers crossed!)
I now have one doubt regarding pcre.
For building qtwebkit, I had to yum install pcre-devel. When I checked
qtbase spec file, I found that -qt-pcre is passed for fedora < 17.
Now that qtwebkit will be using system pcre & qtbase was compiled wih
its own pcre, will there be any issues?
Should I edit qtbase spec file to use system pcre (although the fedora
17 case specifies >= 8.30 while CentOS has only 7.8) and rebuild everything?
Thanks and regards,
Syam

qtbase really does need newer pcre (fails without it). As for the possible
mixture of system/bundled versions, good question, we'll have to see how/if
it works or not.

If you're preparing official builds for EL6, then the spec file for
qt5-qttools also needs tweaking with regard to clucene.
I had to make two changes:
Edit spec file to rename clucene09-core-devel to clucene-core-devel
Edit patch file qttools-system_clucene.patch to change
$$[QT_INSTALL_LIBS]/clucene09 to $$[QT_INSTALL_LIBS] for the include path.
Thanks,

First batch submitted for epel-6 -testing repo:

qt5-qttools also needs tweaking with regard to clucene.
Indeed, I'll make sure that's fixed

I've successfully built all qt5 packages (available from Koji) for
CentOS 6 i686. I only had to tweak a little bit for system clucene.
Otherwise it was very smooth.
The following things seem to be missing/unpackaged:
1. No documentation files are created. Perhaps they were meant to be
included as a separate package
2. Qt Serial port - this module does not seem to be packaged
I'm not sure if anything else is missing. The Qt source directory
contains one more directory on QtQuick (1 or 2, don't remember exactly).
Dear Rex, can you throw some light on this..

qtquick1 is still pending review,

Dear Rex,
Thanks for all the info. I really appreciate your work on supporting Qt5
on EL6.
Waiting for qtdoc and other remaining packages :-)
Thanks a ton..
