wxWidgets, QT4, for Puppy 4.3.1?
wxWidgets, QT4, for Puppy 4.3.1?
Are there any existing packages for either wxWidgets or QT4 (probably 4.5 or better) that work with Puppy 4.3.1 and include the dev headers?

Not sure about qt4, but I think this wxGTK-2.8.8.pet should work.
I don't know... I've tried compiling one program, [url=http://comical.sourceforge.net/]Comical[/u], but didn't get very far. Of course, it probably doesn't help that Comical's supposedly a pain to try to compile.
I think it was supposedly picky about the version of wxWidgets it's compiled against, for starters. Do most wxWidgets programs generally want a specific version of wxWidgets? (Other than just "vX.X.X or higher," I mean.)

I just dowloaded comical v0.8 source, extracted it, installed the wxGtk package I mentioned above, then , after first changing line 5 of the Makefile from:
to:
received this error, after running make:
Opening that file, & checking line 63, there is, for a mac:
Then, just by deleting those 3 lines, 62-64, it then compiled fine.
Code: Select all
prefix = /usr/local
Code: Select all
prefix = /usr
Code: Select all
ComicalApp.cpp:63: error: invalid use of undefined type `struct wxIcon
Code: Select all
#if !defined(__WXMAC__) && !defined(__WXCOCOA__)
frame->SetIcon(wxICON(comical));
#endif
It does seem to work, though it does still throw a large number of warnings.
(Actually, there's supposed to be some far more recent work done on Comical since the 0.8 version, in the SVN... but I haven't looked at it.) I haven't had time to test my build beyond the usual 'does it open when I click on it' test, however.
I'm wondering if Qt 4.6 can be built on 4.3.1, for programs like this, among others. Of course, if there's any other way to quickly view OBJ models than loading them into a full-fledged renderer like Blender, and spend time trying to make it look right...
I'd been told once that Qt 4.5 and higher wouldn't work with the kernels in the 4.3.1 Puppies, but even then, they weren't sure.
(then again, I'd probably still have to update qmake on this system (I'd done that with my previous Puppy setup, but not this one...)
