EUC-JP not found in QTextCodec
Message 1 in thread
Hi
When reading the QTextCodec pages, I see that EUC-JP should be supported.
Yet, when I inspect the result from QTextCodec::availableCodecs(), there
is no EUC-JP present. Asking for a codec of this name also returns a null
pointer.
So what does the "euc-jp is supported" actually mean? That this codec
should be present by default, or that it's possible to create a textcodec
that can do these things?
Or is there something wrong on my system? Is there a flag that should be
enabled? Missing libraries maybe?

Which version of Qt is this? On which platform? How was it built?
Are you running QTextCodec::availableCodecs() on the development
machine? On a different machine? Note that EUC-JP support can be built
as a Qt plugin, for example on my Linux workstation the relevant plugin
is available in the plugins/codecs directory.

This is Qt 4.2. I am running it on debian unstable, so I didn't build it.

Yes, it's running on my development machine. I've asked some other people
to do a debug print of availableCodecs() as well, and there's no trace of
it on their machines either.
By the way, the printout can be found at http://metellius.mine.nu/dicts

Let's see. It seems I have /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/libqjpcodecs.so.debug.
Looks promising, but why the debug extension?
And if I need to load this plugin, what would be the safest way to locate
and load it on differing platforms?

This file contains the debug symbols generated by the compiler. It is only
used by e.g. gdb and valgrind.

You need to find out how to get a hold of libqjpcodecs.so. This is installed
as part of the standard Qt installation. Perhaps the .deb you have doesn't
have the asian codec plugins?
