The cygsetup program identifies "qtcreator" as requiring
"libbotan1.10_0" but that is marked as "(not found)" however the later
build as "libbotan1.10_1" is present and seems to do the job - apart
from tripping the not found warning every time the setup program is run...
Is there any chance that a later version of qtcreator can be ported - Qt
are now up into the 4.x range with this and the currently offered 2.8.1
is a little long in the tooth and I am not sure how well it works with
the Qt5 libraries. I code for a project that I would like to port to
Cygwin/CygwinPorts but we are now exclusively using Qt5.x and I miss the
Qt IDE (which I haven't yet got operating on my test Vista-32bit
platform - I regret the demise of support for XP but that is a whole
different issue! 8-P) which I normally use for the GNU/Linux development
platform where I mainly code for.
Our project offers both qmake and cmake project files and whilst I have
almost managed to get cmake compilation to proceed to completion I am
having fun (not) getting one class which uses direct OpenGL (yes I know
it is ancient history!) to go together. If anyone has any pointers on
extracting needed header/libs information from cygwin/cmake combo's
pkg-config system and how that now interacts with XWin and its use of
WGL AND/OR OpenGl (are both used at the same time - if not - which
should I detect/choose at compilation/run-time)...?
Thanks Yaakov for the great work you have done over the years to bring
bleeding edge packages to Cygwin which helps us *nix centric guys and
gals live with a 'Dozy OS.
