Irix, Qt, OpenGL and FontLoader
Message 1 in thread
G'day All,
I'm building Qt 3 on an oldish Irix box, and attempting to run it on an
aging Xterminal. The version of OpenGL on the terminal is missing an
extension called GLX, which seems to be used by the font loader. I've worked
out that Qt was automatically detecting the GL stuff on the irix box and
building it in. So, in an effort to get it to run, I built Qt without opengl
support - "configure -disable-opengl -shared". It compiled nicely, but when
I try and run anything, such as the buttongroups example, I get an error:
QFontLoader: Internal Error.
Which is not the most informative error message I've ever seen. Is it
possible to build Qt 3 on a irix box without OpenGL? Is there some other
option I should be setting to do this? Should I persuade my employers to get
better xtems????
Ta,
paul.
