- Description:
-
I create this little app to install and uninstall Qt and other Apps, available over TiltOS.com, on my Haiku hybrid System.
Installation
- unzip package on your system (Haiku)
- drop files on the included links (select gcc2 or gcc4 = links in the folders)
- select the Qt-App Installer in the Application menu to start
Information
- QtInstaller is written in yab, you need libncurses.so to run it (included)
- Qt is running on Haiku gcc4 or hybrid Systems
- You need to install TiltOS for Haiku first, before you can use the Installer.
- libstdc++.so.6 is a link to libstdc++.so.6.0.10 in /boot/common/libs (TiltOS-App Installer make this by himself)

sh: bos-repos: command not found
It would be helpful to mention the dependency and how to get it in the description.
Args, i have seen that i have not download and install the Haiku with gcc4, i get the gcc2 and so the app is compiled on gcc2, i will install the gcc4 version and compile it on this system. the i update the App.
box -s
Now I have:
/tmp/box-install.OfGZFv/post-install: line 14: /boot/common/share/fonts:: No such file or directory
useradd: group 'messagebus' does not exist
chown: invalid user: `root:messagebus'/tmp/box-install.OfGZFv/post-install: line 14: /boot/common/share/fonts:: No such file or directory
useradd: group 'messagebus' does not exist
I hoped the tool would automate all of installing qt and qt apps, but it seems that it only automates the qt apps part after one has manually configured qt.
tiltos.com/drupal/node/17
to get my environment working I had to manually install dbus and shared-mime-info. wget those two files, rename from box to tar, and then unzip to /boot. after that installing Qt app should go smooth.
I have upload a new version, compiled on gcc4 and with some little updates of the app. I don't have add a function for the index of available apps, this need to be download first. Finally i include this option and add some introduction for using the app.
The app asks for libstdc++.so.6 which I presume is supposed to replace the default c++ runtime. That is a crucial system file, isn't replacing it risky business?
One of Haiku's assets is supposed to be a consistent userspace, as opposed to a fragmented one resulting from having too many similar apps doing the same thing.
And in this spirit we should avoid having two standard c++ libraries, the system one and a libstdc++.so.6 one. If the system one lacks features, it should be fixed instead of introducing a second one.
I don't link any library, it is a yab application, the compiler of yab linked to libraries, i don't can see it. I only know that yab needs libncurses.so and today i see it need libstdc++.so.6 for gcc4. I have upload two new versions, one compiled on a gcc2 and on compiled on a gcc4/hybrid.
Release one damn version of Haiku (i.e a hybrid) with all compatibility packages, libraries, compilers, etc. so everything just works, and everything is compatible. Make Haiku "free of any unnecessary complexities."
I'd rather have a complete package where everything works without headache even if it's a larger package to download.
In the end, I'll probably have to add fields on the software submission that will say 'legacy' (BeOS files), 'native GCC2', 'native GCC4', and 'native universal' (package contains both GCC2 and 4 binaries).
Also, (a problem with box) it produces a lot of error messages when installing the mentioned basic packages, about non existant users, groups, file. And there is no progress meter, neither there is one in QtInstaller. But as it takes a lot of time to install abiword, a progress bar would be very appreciated (I was pretty sure it hung).
Finally, after installing abiword it's not present in the "packages that can be uninstalled" list. It doesn't work, either- "No DISPLAY".
EDIT: I've got to click the button to populate the uninstall-list - I guess it would be better if the install-list and uninstall-list populated automatically. Also, the greater-than sign is a poor label for "Uninstall-list", I would rather see a more verbose sign.
Also, I would expect double clicking on an item to install it.
On the contrary, supertux works fine!
Some of the apps available for install are already available as native ports - like ocaml and vim - I would rather encourage use of native ports, than providing a non-native qt versions in the list.
Also, it'd be great if pressing letters while in the list would move me to a package that starts with that letter (or even that starts with a bunch of letters I press), if it's easy to implement.
No Unix.cma for Haiku? (Despite the name, it is important to have even under Haiku)
The Qt-App Installer is only a GUI for the command line tool box of TiltOS, so i does not can add a progressbar into it, because i don't get any progress informations from box.
Quote:
This is correct i have cleared the list because you need to press the check button to get the actual list.
I will see that i can do to make it more clear using the application.
Quote:
Ok, i will add it into next version
me too, this is a problem from the qt porting crew
I only display the list you get from the command line tool box into qt-app installer. If someone have fun to help the project, can do a list of native available tools and we can add it into the installer as information.
But then the qt port is the newest one and the native port on haiku is an old one, it will be better to use the newest one. I thing that the qt-app installer is not the porting police, it is a GUI for box not more. I can include informations about all needed files for apps, the user can download with this app and i can add a list of apps who are available as native port too. The same for TiltOS, i will contact the people of TiltOS and hope that we can work together, so the app-installer will be part of TiltOS in the future.
Good idear, i will see if it get it running :-).
I have tried to contact the TiltOS
people but there is no contect address. It would be fine to get Qt-Apps Installer included into the TiltOS Package or a information about it included into tiltOS.

The error messages are problems from the qt porting crew, i don't have any influence to it :-(

Thanx karl, this is an good idear
The PM system here wasn't working correctly, but has since been fixed.
Port apps to Haiku, not just only compiling.
What do you mean? Qt Apps are ported to Haiku and the Qt-App Installer help you to install this ported apps. It is a GUI for the command line tool box, you get with TiltOS.
You are writing in miracles, i don't understand you.
I don't port and compiling anything, i create only a "GUI" for the box command installed by TiltOS for Haiku. I don't can say that all ported apps are running. The project is at work. If you have questions contact the Qt porting team.
Hi,
i use links to folders to install the files. Only drop the files they are in the name of the link (filename with a pointed line under it) onto this link to install. Then open the folder with the gcc version your system is (gcc2 or gcc4 build) and start the binary.
Also you need to install TilitOS for Haiku, because the TiltOS App Installer is a GUI to use TiltOs command line installer.
I dont know all needed packages for KOffice, so i dotn add an information about it into the installer. if it is installed, try koffice in terminal to start it.
Have you tried this? http://haikuware.com/directory/view-details/productivity/office-suites/koffice-for-haiku-stand-alone-installer
How would I normally launch an app that has been installed? I searched for a koffice application file in /boot/common/bin and everywhere else, but didn't find it.
It should be in your path, from terminal just i.e:
$ eval `dbus-launch --auto-syntax`
$ kword
Should work.
If you look in the standalone, it installs menu items. Those are executable scripts to start each Koffice component.
've been advised to download the new version of Tilt-OS by the developers, but it doesn't want to install. Is there any chance that Tilt-OS app installer is kind of 'holding on ' to its files, or is it most likely a problem with the package?
Cheers
The Tilt-OS App installer have nothing to do with TiltOS as is. It is only a installer (GUI) for apps you can get over the command line package installer from TiltOS. If the packege TiltOS have any problem to install or running on newer Haiku versions, the Tilt-OS App installer does not can repair this. Please contact the TiltOS Team.
