LXQt on Mageia 4

Hello,

Is is possible to install LXQt 0.8.0 on Mageia 4? And if yes, how can I do that?

If you're talking about installing the Mageia 5 packages on Mageia 4, that's not a good idea - because of the dependencies on newer libraries, probably half of your system would need to be upgraded to Cauldron packages. Also, current LXQt requires slightly newer Qt packages, which are not available for Mageia 4.

So in short, it may be possible but it involve quite some work and fiddling.

For LXQt 0.7 there's a post with a link to the repo with my 0.7 packages: viewtopic.php?p=47900#p47900

Hello, thanks for your reply. Do you also have an 32 bit version?

No, and I also won't have the time to create those - better wait until Mageia 5 will be released in ~two months.
