Missing rules XML file for qt's 'uic3 -convert'

I'm trying to run uic3 -convert to convert some QT3 .ui files to QT4.

When I run it, uic3 reports that it's unable to find the rules file (q3porting.xml).

  • Where does uic3 look for the q3porting.xml file
  • Can I pass the rules file as an argument on the command line (similarly to using qt3to4 -rulesFile)? If not, what else can I do?
Solution

  • q3porting.xml should be in the Qt4 data directory (on my system that's /usr/share/qt4/). If it's in the wrong place for some reason you can find it with locate (if you have locate installed).

    There is no option for passing the rules on the command line.
