Hello group,

During som reorganizing of mye box due to damaged hardware I forgot to hold
on to my qt3 with aa support and I don't have the original rmp anylonger.
Does anyone know if the original qt3 rpm for SuSE 7.3 which came with KDE 3
(0.1 I think) is still somewhere in *space? I think that's the one I
had to reinstall before to get aa support back.

A link or even a mailed rpm would be greatly appreciated :)

There is no need to resort to an old version of QT in order to get aa in
SuSE 7.3. Download a source rpm of the latest version from SuSE, install
it and do the proper adjustments to
/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/build_script.sh (line 25) and
/usr/src/packages/SPECS/ (line 200)
then rebuild and install.

OK, I'll see if I can pull that off although I don't even know what a source
RPM is. I guess Linux has been too good to me :)

go here:

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_7.3/base/

You can download the binaries or the source and compile it yourself.
The source will be placed in /usr/src/packages/SOURCES
untar in /usr/local/qt-3.0.4 make a symlink /usr/lib/qt3 to point to it.
Make sure when compiling to enable thread (Xft is enabled by default):
./configure -thread

Once compiled copy lib, tools and plugins directories to /usr/lib/qt-3.0.4 then
make a link /usr/lib/qt3 to /usr/lib/qt-3.0.4.

Note:
The compile process took almost an hour on a PIII 800MHz with 256 MB.
Also if it happens to die during compile while making files for "examples" don't
worry, libs, tools and plugins are done OK.

I got a ParseError when rebuilding the source RPM (probably did something
wrong) so I compiled from the source tarball. Thanks anyway.

Now that you mention it, there was an undefined variable in the spec
file, %suse_version, that I had to define like this:
%define suse_version 730
