Using Qt 3.3.3 with KDE 3.1
Hi!
I downloaded and compiled ok Qt 3.3.3.
However, when I made the symlink /usr/lib/qt -> /usr/lib/qt-3.3.3 menu transparencies, font settings etc. dissapeared in KDE!
Until then I had been using the Qt version (3.1.4?) shipping with Slackware 9.1 and I also have KDE 3.1installed... Is it possible that KDE uses an altered version of the Qt library? Or is it a matter of settings?
I really would like to use the new Qt lib...
RE: Using Qt 3.3.3 with KDE 3.1
You'll have to recompile some kdelibs and the kde artwork (all the styles, themes...)
If you remember, plugins always rely on a precise Qt version. Qt 3.3.3 will NOT load Qt 3.2 plugins and certainly not Qt 3.1. Reverse is true too.
If a coupled Qt-3.3.2 and the lates Kde is available for your slakware, I suggest you install the whole thing. Would be faster and simpler than trying to recompile parts of Kde wich need a bunch of libs, headers and other dependancies, is a memory hog and takes centuries to compile.
Never patch not working code. Rewrite it !
Never patch badly designed classes. Recreate them cleanly.

I'll certainly try that djanubis, it seems to be the only solution!
Thanks very much!
