\brief A summary of known issues in Qt %VERSION% at the time of release.
- An up-to-date list of known issues with Qt %VERSION% can be found via the
- \l{Task Tracker} on the Qt website which provides additional information
- about known issues and tasks related to Qt.
+ This page documents known problems with the packaging and installation in
+ Qt %VERSION%, as well as issues with third party software that we have
+ not been able to work around. For a list of such issues in previous Qt
+ versions refer to this page in the respective documentation.
- \section1 General Issues
+ For a list list of known bugs in Qt %VERSION%, see the \l{Task Tracker}
+ on the Qt website.
- When running Qt applications on Windows or with \c{-graphicssystem raster},
- any process that triggers a QWidget::update() from within a destructor
- might result in a crash.
+ \section1 Installation Issues
+ \section2 Building the Source Package on Windows 7
+
+ \list
+ \o When building Qt 4.5.0 with Windows 7, the build fails with an error
+ message regarding failing to embed manifest. This a known issue with
+ Windows 7, explained in the Windows 7 SDK Beta

+ {release notes}. A workaround for this issue is to patch the
+ \bold{embed_manifest_exe.prf} file with the following:

+ \section2 Installing the Source Package on Unix systems
+
+ \o If you download a Zip source package, you will need to convert
+ Windows-style line endings (CR/LF) to Unix-style line-endings (LF) when
+ you uncompress the package. To do this, give the "-a" option when you
+ run the "unzip' command.
+
+ If you fail to supply the "-a" option when unzipping the package, you
+ will see the following error message when you attempt to execute the
+ configure command:
+ "bash: ./configure: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory"
+ \endlist
+
+ \section2 Installing on Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard"
+ \list
+ \o Performing a new install of the Qt 4.6 beta on Snow Leopard
+ triggers a bug in the installer that causes the install to fail.
+ Updating an existing Qt installation works fine.
+
+ There are two workarounds, either disable spotlight for the target
+ drive during the install, or do a custom install where you deselect
+ documentation and examples. Run the installer again as a full
+ install to get the documentation and examples installed.
