notepadqq should be updated to use libqscintilla2-11

[Shirish Agarwal]

Hi there,
I use notepadqq in Debian. In Debian testing there was a change from libsqscintilla2-9 to libsqcintilla2-11. If possible please share this option in the notepadqq repo. on github.

Hi,
can you confirm that the same binary file still works with libsqcintilla2-11?

Thanks

Dear Daniel,
I had compiled notepadqq from https://github.com/notepadqq/notepadqq . With the change I had to recompile it but still it works.

the only change I did in the instructions were this :-

notepadqq/src$ qmake-qt4 notepadqq.pro -r -spec linux-g++
notepadqq/src$ make
notepadqq/src$ make install

I had removed the PREFIX=/usr/local

Another thing I did was

notepadqq/src$ make clean

before re-starting the build.

$ notepadqq --version
notepadqq version 0.13.0

The binary works. Thankfully, didn't have to change anything in the notepadqq.pro file otherwise would have needed help there.

This is the run on my debian-testing.

As far as your question was concerned, the binary I had compiled before the version change in the libsqcintilla2 didn't work after I had upgraded libsqcintilla2 from libsqcintilla2-9 to libsqcintilla2-11.

I just figured that the source package is qscintilla2 which changed from 2.7.2 (last year) to 2.8.1-2 (now)

http://packages.qa.debian.org/q/qscintilla2.html

and had a look at both changelog.gz as well as changelog.Debian.gz . These are the respective outputs for both those packages :-

$ /usr/share/doc/libqscintilla2-11$ zcat changelog.Debian.gz | less

qscintilla2 (2.8.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release
    - Update library name to libqscintilla2-11 based on upstream soname change
