I just upgraded to 42.2. Although yast offers many Qt5 items for version 5.8 the main library libQt5Core is 5.6.1 (since Oct 2016). The last two versions of my accounting software (keme) are written in Qt5 version 5.8 so when I start to compile it under 42.2 it complains that libQt5Core.so.5 (v.5.8) is not available.
Is there a workaround for this? I don’t want to downgrade keme because the last two versions contain many updates for the latest tax calculations.
Thanks.
if you need version 5.8 you can get it from the kde:Qt5 repo
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Qt5/openSUSE_Leap_42.2/
you might need to do a full vendor change with it
I think you might need a newer version of plasma 5 from the kde:frameworks5 repo
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Frameworks5/openSUSE_Leap_42.2/
you can add these 2 repo’s with zypper
zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Qt5/openSUSE_Leap_42.2/KDE:Qt5.repo
zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Frameworks5/openSUSE_Leap_42.2/KDE:Frameworks5.repo
then you need to do a vendor change to these 2 repo’s
zypper dup --from <put qt5 repo alias here> --from <put frameworks5 repo alias here>
ps
keep in mind those 2 are development repo’s and change often, they’re not as “stable” as the frozen versions and when there are changes you won’t get delta rpm’s but full ones so bigger downloads when there are updates which are frequent…
I followed your instructions and my accounting package will now load. Thank you. I seem to run into a lot of these qt5 conflicts recently.
