qgtkstyle - qtconfig (SOLVED)

[patrick013]

Hi,

Anybody know where or what the replacement is for the qgtkstyle
package in Debian ?

It's a library, libgtkstyle.so that goes into usr/share/qt/plugins/style
and allows programs like clementine to display gtk themes.

On Fedora it works, Debian no, when I put the library there, lacking
a valid package to i nstall.

thx

Perhaps,
http://packages.debian.org/sid/gtk-qt-engine-kde4

or

http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/gtk-qt-engine

then there is qtconfig... to setup things such as the preferred theme for Qt and stuff such as fonts...

Just found this:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=99175

which makes me think what you are looking for might be in qtconfig. And *qtconfig packages are here:
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=qtconfig&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

Do you have a link to the source? Or, have you tried using alien to convert the rpm to a deb? (Source is usually preferable.) If you can post a link to the source, I'll see if it will build. If it does, I can create a deb for it.

What version of Debian are you running?

Hi djohnston,

Do you create deb packages the Debian way ? Or do you have a fast method to do so ?

PS: you might have to try to get the sources either from Nokia, or from an old src rpm if you can get one.

here the two main links are dead for one and lead nowhere for the other:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QGtkStyle

Here I didn't see how to find the sources:
http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/qt4/qgtkstyle.html

Yes, I'll explore your recommendations.

Respond accordingly.

qgtkstyle is a very important package

If it works and is available on Debian

Scorpio and Debian LXDE is what I'm looking at.

thx

@Melodie,

The deb package would be created by using checkinstall at the end of the source build process.

@Patrick,

I've done a pretty thorough search for qgtkstyle. The trail ends in 2010. I've found that others have installed the package from source on both Debian and Ubuntu systems. However, that method requires access to the source tarball. As Melodie has found, so have I, that all links to the source code appear to be dead. Which begs the question: What version of Fedora are you running that uses this package? If it's a modern version, the source code for the package should be available.

Last chance : send a request to get the source code from Nokia. And why not?

Actually I think the QGtkStyle package is obsolete, but, if you have the
right older lib's it still works.     Otherwise no.

New package is qt4-qtconfig which is in the deb repo.    On my Deb-LXDE
it picks up the theme automatically.    On my Scorpio it has to be configured
as far as the colors wanted, then it works too.    Probably missing some lib.

Anyway, it shows up in the menu under Preferences as QT4 Settings.    A must
have to use QT's, at least for me.

thanks for the responses,

patrick

Which brings us back to the end of the response I did to you a few posts ago:

I am happy you solved it.
