[PATCH] qt4-x11-free: disable QGtkStyle

[PATCH] qt4-x11-free: disable QGtkStyle

[Paul Eggleton]

This currently leads to a floating dependency on GTK+. Since most users
in an embedded context won't need this, just disable it by default.

Fixes [YOCTO #5116].

Ultimately I decided against introducing PACKAGECONFIG just for this, because 
the Qt recipes currently avoid it (PACKAGECONFIG cannot support a number of 
the additional library options for Qt since they are tri-state; not to mention 
that PACKAGECONFIG isn't just a drop-in for Qt because it doesn't use 
autotools/cmake and therefore doesn't use EXTRA_OECONF/EXTRA_OECMAKE). I 
figured that the few users who do want QGTKStyle can just set QT_X11_FLAGS as 
desired.

Cheers,
Paul

FWIW: I'm using PACKAGECONFIG in meta-qt5, you're right that it cannot
cover all 3 states for each option, but most common scenarios need to
select only between 2 and automatically added DEPENDS/RDEPENDS is big
plus.

To support PACKAGECONFIG without autotools/cmake inherit I just add
generated EXTRA_OECONF to QT_CONFIG_FLAGS.

But I agree that in this patch it's easier without introducing PACKAGECONFIG
for qt4.

On this wider issue, I have given some thought to how we could expand 
PACKAGECONFIG to support multi-state options, although I'm hesitant to make 
the already slightly opaque PACKAGECONFIG syntax any more complicated. 
Something to think about further for the next development cycle perhaps.

I didn't try it but Peter reported that this caused a failure when he tried 
this as a solution (presumably because there is junk in EXTRA_OECONF already 
that isn't suitable for passing to Qt4's configure). It ought to be able to 
work though.

Cheers,
Paul

Personally I use the QGtkStyle in some products but I am all in favor
of this. This avoids floating dependencies and I can easily re-add it
back in our internal layer.
