Summary | 0015548: Make it explicit that scribus.pro cannot be used to compile scribus | ||||
Description | i got the feedback that the `scribus.pro` file currently does not work. is it a supported way for compiling scribus? in the forums a user reported multiple errors and finally gave up. if it's not supported / tested, i would like to suggest the scribus.pro file to be removed from the repository. currently, the cmake worfklow works well with qt creator... | ||||

No, using the scribus.pro file to compile scribus is not supported in any way. It's sole use is for updating translation files. And as a consequence we won't remove it. |
|
i wonder how it can be made clear that the qmake workflow does not work. would it possible to move the scribus.pro file elsewhere? or at least a big warning at the beginning of the .pro file? it's very frustrating for new people to try the qmake way and fail. and people used to Qt projects, when seeing a .pro file, will assume that the file also does work! |
|
Not sure here, maybe renaming it to translations.pro would make it also more explicit for what it is used for. |
|
One of the reason it is currently called scribus.pro is that lupdate has two expectations by default: 1) that the pro file has same name as folder it is stored in 2) that there is a pro file at the top level of the source tree |
