I had originally intended to install Qt-4.8.5 based on something someone said in a post about a month ago. The statement indicated something to the effect that older applications might link against Qt-4 and not Qt-5 yet. The discussion centered around pre-compiled proprietary binaries. But I reasoned that the only one of those I intend to use right now is Radeon's Catalyst driver which is not built against Qt. I digress.
In the build situation for Qt-4.8.5 is the phonon library discussion. I gather that Qt does not link against, but rather employs this library and that the library can be built after Qt-4.8.5. But just to check things, I looked at Qt-5.2.0, which takes half again as long to build, and the phonon issue does not pop up. But Cups is listed as a recommended dependency. For Qt-4.8.5, Cups is listed as optional. I do--did--not intend to set up printing until I got most of the other things in my system working. I consider Qt one of the building blocks. What, if any, functional loss will I experience by not installing Cups right now? If I wait to build Cups will I have to rebuild Qt-5.2.0 Thanks, Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
