The main goal of the project is to extend and + enhance the input method support in the TQt library, in order to + provide a modern and powerful multi-language input system. Our short + term goal is to make TQt (especially TQt/X11) "up-to-date" with other + X11-based toolkits such as GTK+. We are also focusing on what the + input method API should be for future TQt versions. + + See our webpage for further information. + + http://immodule-qt.freedesktop.org/ + + +* About this release + + qt-x11-immodule-unified-qt3.3.3-20040910 is a stable release. Since + it breaks backward compatibility (source and binary) about immodule + with our previous releases qt-x11-immodule-unified-qt3.3.3-20040819 + and qt-x11-immodule-bc-qt3.3.2-20040623, optional immodule plugins + must be updated to proper version. See 'Optional immodule plugins' + section of our download page. + + http://immodule-qt.freedesktop.org/Software/ImmoduleTQtDownload + + However, backward compatibility (source and binary) with normal TQt + 3.3.3 is kept in 'Binary Compatible' mode. + + +* How to install + + After extract the TQt archive, perform following instructions + + cd qt-x11-free-3.3.3 + patch -p0 < qt-x11-immodule-unified-qt3.3.3-20040910.diff + ./make-symlinks.sh + ./configure + + Our patch provides following two configure options. Choose 'Binary + Compatible' for normal use. + + Build TQt with 'Binary Compatible' immodule support (default) + + configure -inputmethod + + Build TQt without binary compatibility, but supports more advanced + immodule extensions.
