libqt3-devel uic.exe segmentation fault

libqt3-devel uic.exe segmentation fault

[Kantacki]

Hello,

I have problems with uic.exe compiler which is included to libqt3-devel 
package.
When I run it with or without parameters I always get segmentation fault 
message.

Could anyone of you confirm that the problem exist and has to be 
repaired or with my Cygwin installation is something wrong, by the way I 
already tried to reinstall libqt3 and libqt3-devel from many different 
sources and I always get the same error message.

Best regards.
Kantacki

First off, are you *absolutely* certain you want to be using qt3 and not 
qt4?  Qt3 is obsolete and no longer supported upstream.

It probably needs to be rebuilt with gcc-4.5, but unless you can 
convince me of a *really* good reason to keep it, I'll be removing it 
from the distro soon.

I need to use gt3 library because I have program which works only with 
this library and the program does not want to work with qt4, so it is 
much easier to compile over qt3 then rewrite the program which I am not 
an author.

I think that backward compatibility is the main reason for keeping old 
version of libraries. Imagine operating system which requires rewriting 
of all old applications because of changed system api. In that case 
everything will fall apart and people will use many different and old 
operating system versions.
Backward compatibility is always good idea.
