AW: [Qgis-developer] Trolltech is Not Porting Qt3Support for 64-bit MacBuilds

[Hugentobler Marco]

Hi Tom,

+1 for porting the remaining qt3support code to qt4. My suggestion is to open a new branch for this.

Regards,
Marco

Betreff: [Qgis-developer] Trolltech is Not Porting Qt3Support for 64-bit MacBuilds
 
Trolltech has released an alpha version of Qt/Mac Cocoa for building 64-bit applications. It includes the following note:

Qt3Support: At this time we have no plans for making the Qt3Support module work with the Qt/Mac Cocoa port in 64-bit mode. Following in footsteps of Apple, we would like to encourage you to consider the time of going Cocoa and 64-bit as a chance to jettison Qt 3 constructs and classes.

Therefore I would like to start converting the remaining QGIS files -- perhaps 1 to 3 files per work session depending on complexity. Are there any issues to be aware of?

Since the GRASS plugin contains probably half of the remaining Qt3Support usage and QGIS can be built without it, I will not upgrade it until later. The immediate goal is to get QGIS to build with Qt/Mac Cocoa.

Tom
