‘LayoutDirectionAuto’ is not a member of ‘Qt’

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install dependencies using apt-get: build-essential, qt-sdk, libsdl-dev, 
libsdl-mixer1.2-dev, libhunspell-dev
2. run 'qmake', 'make'

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Clean install.

Produces 'Error 2':
src/textroom.cpp: In member function ‘void TextRoom::readSettings()’:
src/textroom.cpp:752: error: ‘LayoutDirectionAuto’ is not a member of 
‘Qt’

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Textroom v0.8.2

Debian 6.0.1 (Squeeze)
Kernel Linux 2.6.32-5-686
Gnome 2.30.2

Please provide any additional information below.
I am trying to install on a fresh Debian installation, there are many packages 
that are installed with the apt-get installs from above as well.  I encounter 
the same issue with Ubuntu 10.4 LTS.

I'm thoroughly confused as to what is going wrong.  I have been installing 
packages as they come up and this is the first error I have not been able to 
circumvent.

Thanks for any help!

Just in case it wasn't obvious, I'm trying to install from source.  The error 
is the same whether I checkout source with svn, or download the Linux source 
.tar.gz

Hi everybody,

I had the same problems as well with Ubuntu 10.04 32bit.

I had tried to install manually the tar for 0.8.1 and 0.8.0 with no success 
There were some probs during the make in both cases:

src/textroom.cpp: In member function ‘void TextRoom::readSettings()’:
src/textroom.cpp:752: error: ‘LayoutDirectionAuto’ is not a member of 
‘Qt’

I also tried to install textroom debs from 0.8.1 backwards.
The one that works is 0.6.5.

Cheers

Aleix

BTW, I forgot to say that when I try to install 0.8.1. and 0.8 through the deb, 
it successfully install but got the following problem:

The splash screen shows up for a very short time and then the program crashes 
with "textroom: symbol lookup error: textroom: undefined symbol: 
_ZN9QListData11detach_growEPii".

So maybe this is caused by or at least related to the problem above.

Cheers.

If anyone is still reading these pages (the project seems rather moribund with 
nothing on the site since 2011) I fixed the problem above by editing 
src/textroom.cpp and changing the offending line:

textEdit->setLayoutDirection(Qt::LayoutDirectionAuto);

to

textEdit->setLayoutDirection(Qt::LeftToRight);

I know nothing about Qt but my guess is that Qt::LayoutDirectionAuto is either 
not yet available or else deprecated in the Qt package that Debian installs. I 
Googled around a bit and found that LeftToRight seemed to be another reasonable 
value for setLayoutDirection. I suppose you could also set it to 
Qt::RightToLeft!

Once you get past this error you may find, like I did, that compilation fails 
later because both curl.h and xml++.h aren't found. On Debian systems install 
libcurl4-gnutls-dev and libxml++2.6-dev and compilation should complete. AFAICT 
Textroom now works on my system (CrunchBang Linux Statler).

Hope this is still of some use to someone.

Ta,

Gav

Addendum to last message - 

There do seem to be a few problems, but none (not even an occasional 
segmentation fault!) fatal. I might try and track down a few of the issues and 
will post them - and hopefully solutions - here if I do.

Ta,

Gav
