Hi,

when I was compiling QTango, I was also unable to find the two libraries COSNotify4 and AttNotification4. After removing -lCOSNotify4 and -lAttNotification4 from qtango.pri, the compilation and installation were successful. I guess that these two libraries are needed only for Tango 7 and earlier, which use CORBA for events.

Regards,
Josef

Hi,
you need QWT version 5, such as qwt - Browse /qwt/5.2.3 at SourceForge.net
The version 6, which you are using, is not fully backwards compatible.

I hope it will help,
Josef

Hi,
in qtango.pri, remove the line “QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -std=gnu++98” and uncomment the line with “QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -std=c++0x”. Then run qmake and make again and it should compile without these errors.

In the current version of Tango, some header files use unique_ptr, which is in the C++11 standard, but not in the C++98 standard. These headers are included by the QTango sources and so they need C++11 as well, although they themselves do not need any of its new features.

Build qtango-5.3.9 on Qt5.5

the make output error log is:

[quote]src/eapplicationlauncher.cpp: In member function ‘Window X11Utils::QueryX11Status(QString)’:
src/eapplicationlauncher.cpp:490:50: error: ‘class QWidget’ has no member named ‘x11Info’
disp = ( (QWidget*) QApplication::desktop() )->x11Info().display();[/quote]
but check the Qt5.5’s QWidget Class, it has x11Info() public funciton

any help appreciated…

I have compiled QTango only with QT4 and did not have this problem. According to the QT documentation you should add “QT += x11extras” to your .pro file (I guess either to qtango.pro or to qtcontrols/qtcontrols.pro), which was not needed in QT4.
Or, if you can, you may try downgrading from QT5 to QT4.

Since my last post I found out that the same tweaks that I suggested above in this thread can be found also in a post in the Tango mailing list. The author of the post also uses QT4.

thanks cibulka

befor make, I have adjusted the qtang.pro file:

[quote]…

QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -std=gnu++98

QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -std=c++0x

qt += dbus widgets x11extras
…
[/quote]
at the same time adjusted some .cpp and .h file in qtcontrols/src directory, mainly the #include<> statement

but it couldn’t work, so i decide to downgrade to Qt4.
