But the patch includes a copy of the lib in 3rdparty. But if it had already existed, we’d modify configure to try to use the system library by default, whereas if you pass -qt-xcb to configure, then it would use the 3rdparty copy, right? So should we do that now, with the expectation that it will eventually start showing up on some distros, or should we try to always use the 3rdparty copy for now? _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
