Qt 5.3 for Haiku progress

Forum thread started by 3dEyes on Sun, 2014-07-20 04:00
Last week I started work on a port of Qt 5.3.1.
Already there has been some progress.
  1. First native QPA test
  2. Simple mouse handler
  3. Qt Designer
  4. Simple keyboard mapper and fusion style for controls
  5. QtWebKit demo browser
  6. Otter-browser

All Qt5 modules successfully builded except QtQuick 2.0 and WebKit2. They require support OpenGL in QPA plugin. I have never worked with OpenGL and have no idea where to start. We need to implement a few functions to create an OpenGL context. If there is a wish to help with OpenGL - you are welcome.

The code will be available on github soon.
‹ So how soon to hardware 3D? Can Haiku be used on web server instead of desktop usage? ›

Excellent, 3DEyes. Will it also contain phonon or gstreamer to compile/user apps that uses multimedia stuff [clementine, qmmp and so..]?

Amazing... I look forward to a stable Qt5 in HaikuDepot and Calligra and other killers apps yeah...

3dEyes rocked as usual :)

Great News.
But at the same time, it's sad, that a lot of money was put into package manager (i guess, it can still not update the system by itself), and other projects.... but about ZERO dollar in the QT Port. If you give money to all kind of projects, but ZERO to the QT port, it's a sign of disrespect.
It's one thing to write a 3 rows patch, and something else to port QT. The fact, that this work was not honored all these years, is something that also made me think, that perhaps one should spend less time on haiku.

I never asked for money. Just for fun only.

You might as well post your news on the HaikuPorts mailing list and ask for some support there: http://www.haiku-os.org/community/ml

Superb, 3dEyes :D

How about overall stability of webkit itself in QT5 (compared to 'official' in haikudepot)?

And is there any release date for QT5? (i just cant wait to test lazarus with QT LCL's)

Re: Qt 5.3 for Haiku progress

by 3dEyes - 2014-07-31 22:38
This is a fork but without any changes. I'm only planning to push the changes.
PS: Latest changes:
  • Clipboard support
  • Added platform font database for haiku qpa plugin
  • Use selected system fonts
  • Fix offscreen positions for titled windows (position calculated with decorator size now)
  • Fix for popup menu look&feel - menu showing on current workspace only now

Hello 3dEyes
I wanted to ask for a while now the tools you use to convert the original PNG's to .rdef's files? you always have these Nice good quality icones with the apps you ported! care to share with us your secret?
Thanks

I do it manually via VectorMagic (raster to vector software for mac and windows).

Exactly.
Please kallisti5 give us hardware acceleration in modern Haiku gcc4h. Let it be even two selected new graphics cards(even four-year models). Without acceleration 2D/3D we have no chance of any modern applications(eg. graphics 2D/3D, open source games, fast transparency in system) working with reasonable speed.

Does this mean someone will FINALY port over kde? I mean why port qt if you don't run a kde shell? I mean what is the point. Even the qt windows port is usesless as it does not have a kde shell. I mean why elese would haiku need qt as it does not have x,y,wayland, or x86 so there is no point. Again not trying to be rude or anything I just don't see why doing it if it does nothing.

by ksiazkowicz - 2014-08-17 10:38

That's super awesome~!

If there is going to be Qt 5.3 and Qt Creator on Haiku, I'd finally find a good reason to port my Qt apps from Symbian to desktop. :>

@Linuxgamer94: srsly?!
Qt are excellent libs for multiplatform dev work, it's not just for KDE which is actually Qt + their own custom libs (Plasma) and it's kinda heavy as hell.

Good to see you.

Re: Qt 5.3 for Haiku progress

@Linuxgamer94: Having QT on Haiku means we can run apps that use QT as their GUI toolkit. There are web browsers, office software, simple games, messaging software, etc that suddenly become available or at least far easier to port. You can see a few of those apps in the screenshots 3dEyes has posted.

Amazing work 3dEyes. Very excited.

What?

Why would anyone port KDE?

There are huge volumes of apps that use QT but do not require any other components of KDE let alone need X11.

Hi, is there any progress on releasing this? Is it available on github or elsewhere? I don't want to pressure you, I am just really keen to use QT5!

Re: Qt 5.3 for Haiku progress

by tokoe - 2014-11-26 16:10

Hej,

I started a Qt5 port to Haiku earlier that year as well, but it got stalled since little spare time left. Looks like I got nearly the same functionality as 3dEyes done ;)
The git repo can be found at https://github.com/KDAB/qtbase-haiku
Since I'm pretty new to Haiku, reviews and comments to the code are more than welcome.

Hi tokoe, this is great :)

Can you expand upon what is and isn't supported in your version? Do you have opengl support?

Looking forward to playing with it.

Thanks!
