Review request for KDE Software on Mac OS X, André Marcelo Alvarenga, Yuri Chornoivan, and Yichao Yu.


Changes
-------

unrelated to the topic at hand; this goes into the source tree's root


Repository: qtcurve


Description
-------

KDE is built on a cross-platform framework, and as such most applications (not directly linked to the Plasma desktop or X11) function or can be made to function fine.
Qt will use a native style by default, but supports the same style plugins as it does on other platforms, which bring the advantage of better (more precise) and more compact layout, without by definition reducing integration with the OS X desktop.

As such, QtCurve 1.8.14 worked "out of the box" (http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=40492, source from http://craigd.wikispaces.com/file/view) and I created a MacPorts port for it (https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44527). With the `kde4-workspace` port installed, one has almost the full customisation experience, minus everything window-manager related of course, nor full control of window backgrounds (not allowed by Qt and/or OS X).

The current version, which has seen many changes that require X11, was less straightforward to get to work, requiring a considerable collection of small changes.

The brunt of the present patchset consists of making the code in question conditional on the presence of `Q_WS_X11`, `Q_OS_MAC`, `__MACH__` or `__APPLE__` in non Qt code and `APPLE` in the cmake files. A few patches introduce functions not available on OS X (getline) or replace them with OS X specifics (`clock_gettime` -> `mach_absolute_timer`, nicely initialised with a dylib constructor function :) ) while others simply ensure that header files are found (or inexistent ones ignored).
The only functional guess/change I made is in `setOpacityProp()`, where I added a `w->setWindowOpacity( 0.01 * opacity )` for non Q_WS_X11 code, presuming that `prop` is simply on the 0-100 percentage as exposed in the preferences dialog.

Diff: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/120437/diff/


Testing
-------

On OS X 10.6.8 against kdelibs 4.14.1 and Qt 4.8.6 . This OS requires to build v1.8.18 with a gcc version from MacPorts in order to get the necessary C++11 support; newer OS versions will use a recent clang version (system compiler).

- Qt4/KDE4 support: OK (see screenshot)
- GTk2 support: OK
- X11 support: builds but I have no idea what it's supposed to do
- Qt5 support: OK (against Qt 5.3.1 obtained with Digia's installer)
