Comment on Deploying Qt applications with DeployQt4 by Mike McQuaid

Hmm. Still not quite obvious what’s gone wrong there. I suggest poking around and adding debug statements into BundleUtilities.cmake as this is seemingly failing in that code rather than mine.

If you’ve got this committed to a Subversion repository or Github somewhere I can try and take a look for you.

Perhaps better to continue this directly. You can get my contact details from the contact page.

I think the dependencies are all right, since I can zip the installed .app directory and run it on another computer without problems.

this is the output of cpack –verbose

“Not a valid bundle” basically means that not all the dependencies have been resolved correctly. I recommend finding out more by running cpack --verbose in the build directory which should print more output.

Thanks David, a pleasure. Thanks for accepting my work! This is under a CC license so feel free to reproduce elsewhere.

“make install” works fine and I get a nice fixed up bundle, but I can’t get cpack to work. it fails like this:

CPack: Create package using PackageMaker
CPack: Install projects
CPack: – Run preinstall target for: SuperCollider
CPack: – Install project: SuperCollider
CPack: – Install component: Unspecified
CMake Error at /Applications/CMake 2.8-7.app/Contents/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/BundleUtilities.cmake:668 (message):

any advice?

Thanks, Mike for the excellent blog post, and all the links, especially to a public example.

And of course, for contributing DeployQt4 for the CMake 2.8.7 release.

Cheers!

Comment on Make Qt use the GTK Style on XFCE or Xubuntu by Mike McQuaid

Yes, Qt only looks for the Gnome path by default. This guide avoids having to install (large amounts of ) Gnome dependencies to have Qt applications under XFCE look good.

The problem appears because /desktop/gnome/interface is missing in gconf.
Installing the package libgnome2-common will fix it.

Thanks!

I didn’t get the netlogon method to work so i put the script in the startup folder on the start menu, works for me every time.

Comment on No more Clegg love or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the SNP by theWeir

A great post, Mike.

I remember your passion for the cause of the Lib Dems, so it’s not a shock that you felt so utterly betrayed. It’s a reminder that, as you said, power corrupts.

While the SNP aren’t perfect, they were the credible voice for the future.

I’m glad there’s not a massive majority and really hope that the whip line isn’t too draconian, so MSPs can vote with integrity on issues.

A boy can dream!
