[KDE/Mac] kmahjongg on KF5

[Marko Käning]

Hi Ian,

now that I have my old QSP patch (which included XDG_CONFIG_DIRS) back in my
qt5 again I can go on playing kmahjongg! :-)

I could change the board layout successfully, e.g. to “Well” or whatever. :)
Changing tile theme and background is also possible. :)

That works. I see the games playing itself. :)

Yes, it also shuffles correctly. :)


I can rotate the view. :)

This seems to have been fixed in the meantime. :)

Clicking “Load” and “Save” is a sucker, as it cannot talk to klauncher,
so that after a while the application crashes. :(

Also there are occasions that it likes to call kded5, which is not running,
so that it falls back to calling kbuildsycoca5, which takes ages to finish,
i.e. about a minute or so:
---
kf5.kcoreaddons.kdirwatch: fsWatcher->addPath "/Users/marko"
Couldn't start kded5 from org.kde.kded5.service: QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown", "The name org.kde.kded5 was not provided by any .service files") , falling back to running kbuildsycoca5
---

Also there are Phonon::FactoryPrivate::createBackend() warnings and other
things.

...

To sum it up, one can play the game fairly well, but one shouldn’t try
to mess with files (yet). :-)

Greets,
Marko


P.S.: Well, and of course all the icons are still missing in the GUI!!
