Description Francois Andriot 2012-08-05 12:04:23 CDT

Hello, during Kmymoney build, there are 2 QT3 plugins which are built. They should be installed to the "plugins" directory from QT3.

A problem occurs on Mageia/Mandriva, where QT3 is installed in an uncommon way:
QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3 (both on i686 and even on x86_64)
QTLIB=/usr/lib (on i686) or QTLIB=/usr/lib64 (on x86_64)

The "plugins" directory is either /usr/lib/qt3/plugins OR /usr/lib64/qt3/plugins .


1) The "kmymoney" plugin.
See file: kmymoney/kmymoney2/widgets/Makefile.am

The "install" command installs under:
$(DESTDIR)$(qt_libraries)/../plugins/designer
where $(qt_libraries) is obviously $QTLIB. It is expected that the QT3 "lib" directory is in the same folder as "plugins", which is false on MGA/MDV.
=> The plugin in installed under /usr/plugins, which is obviously incorrect.



2) the "sqlite3" plugin:
See file: kmymoney/qt-sqlite3-0.2/sqlite3/sqlite3.pro

The target.path indicate has value $QTDIR/plugins/sqldrivers . So it always installs under /usr/lib/qt3/plugins/sqldrivers , which is incorrect on x86_64 .


I have to do dirty patches to make it install correctly, but we should find a better way to localize the QT "plugins" directory.

Proposal for plugins directory localization

The attached patch allows to specify at build time the "plugins" directory path, as an environment variable.

Ex:
export QTPLUGINS=/usr/lib64/qt3/plugins
make
make install

tqt : add pluginsdir to pkgconfig file

I tried to add plugins install folder into TQt pkgconfig file.
This could then be used to install plugins in KMyMoney.

Please try it.

kmymoney : fix plugins install directory

I prepared a patch that uses "pluginsdir" from tqt-mt pkg-config file - see patch in attachment 1638 [details]. Please test it.

I tried to find out in which case is used qt-sqlite3. And it seems to me that it is never build => not need to deal with it now.
