Version 4.5.2 is out but the versions of Qt available in MacPorts cannot support it. Until they are tweaked/upgraded, KDE will sit at 4.4.5.

The KDE 4.5.0 release announcement recommends use of QT 4.6.3. We appear to havfe that version of QT as I currently have it installed. What are we waiting on for KDE 4.5.x?

comment:3 Changed 14 years ago by michaelld (Michael Dickens)

I believe KDE 4.5.0 requires Phonon 4.3.90 or newer -- basically 4.4 betas. Right now, Qt 4.6.3 provides Phonon 4.3.30; Qt 4.7.0b1 provides 4.3.90, but the latest Qt 4.7.0b2 provides only Phonon 4.3.60. We're working on moving away from using the integrated Phonon from Qt and instead using the separate port Phonon (which is at 4.4.2).

It looks like qt-4.7.0 bundles phonon-4.4.0. i haven't tried to compile it on OS X yet; i'll try that when i get back from work.

I was able to get qt-4.7.0 to compile/install through ports (using my slightly modified Portfile). It appears that almost all the patches from the qt-4.6.x series were applied upstream.

Now i'm trying to get kdelibs4 to compile. All the patches applied (after i edited the patches to reflect changes from kde-4.4.x). It doesn't yet configure as it fails to find docbook. I'll work on this more later.

For those that are interested, i uploaded the port files and patches for qt-4.7.0 and kde{libs,base,base-runtime}-4.5.2. Perhaps someone can upload these to the macports repo so we can bump KDE up to 4.5.2. I have no checked all the applications, i know that dolphin runs (see screenshot). There may be more testing needed, but this is a good start. Cheers.

I just received a set of patches from qt4's maintainer; I'll try them out and if that's working we'll be moving forward. Thanks for the patches here, too.
