Re: iconv problems

I used this trick to make cmake found iconv on OpenBSD Adding a symlink is not the best way to resolve this issue and not applicable for all platforms. Our solution is to search for the iconv package using CMake. Did this not work on your platform? If it did not, please let us know why. Note : If y...

Re: AlphaNumeric input hint

We traced through the code for QInputDialog::getText() and these are hints which are intended to be processed in the platform plugin. A few of the hints are handled for cocoa but none of them are processed on windows or xcb. From our research the purpose of QInputMethod (which is the class that hand...

Re: API stability and proje philosphy question

Of course this is all up for discussion, but it may *start* to address seasoned-geek's concerns. But to be fair seasoned-geek, this is asking a lot of Copperspice ... based on the "promise" of a cash stream. I believe the Copperspice team to have the integrity not to promise what they hav...

Re: Possible impending Qt fork and copperspice opportunity

We are indeed an option for many companies but maybe not everyone. Some will choose to wait until we can offer some kind of stability. However, if we choose to sacrifice the quality of CopperSpice then we are just another library which will stagnate. Taking the time and putting in the effort to ensu...

Re: Diamond: How committed to Settings as a structure

One of the first things I wanted to do was give it themes. Everybody seems to want to change colors to match mood or whatever. Now that I'm older, sometimes I need to do it just because of my eyes. Diamond does have settings for changing the basic colors and syntax highlighting. Do you think themes...

Re: Possible impending Qt fork and copperspice opportunity

I believe that I could use the open source /community version of Qt Creator with CMake/Conan/Copperspice to create "signal/slot GUI" application. I am trying to respect each organizations "trademark terms " so the wording gets awkward. But I believe this approach would be comple...

Re: Possible impending Qt fork and copperspice opportunity

Honestly I had never heard of CopperSpice until I started looking for an alternative to Qt when the Windows 7 discussion started. Sorry you had not heard of CopperSpice and we are very glad you found us! Our first official public presentation was in September 2015 at CppCon. It was announced by som...

Re: API stability and proje philosphy question

This is indeed a long post and we have some initial comments. I know others on the team may want to chime in as well. Thanks in advance for being patient as we start a dialogue. I believe your most pronounced question is asking, do we intend to offer API stability between CS 1.6.x, CS 1.7.x, etc. Ri...

Re: ubuntu 20 incomplete dependency list

Can someone please tell me what the Ninja process is looking for when it comes to SSL, CUPS, and PostgreSQL? I honestly thought I had everything I would need for PostgreSQL. Thought I would start from the beginning, if that is ok. The following page contains the steps for configure, compile . After...
