[Kdiff3-user] kdiff3 very slow with huge files

[Jonas P. <jns...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am a happy user of kdiff3 since several years, but lately after
installing Ubuntu 16.04, it is nearly impossible to load two huge files for
a diff. With huge files I mean 50Mb each or so. It takes more than a minute
or so, and it used to take just a few seconds.

I tried to build an older version, but got

qmake: could not exec '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake': No such
file or directory

I am not sure exactly what package to install, it seems qt4 is missing or
something. I am however also hesitant to try further with building a
version that is so many years old...

Any help to get my old wonderful tool back would be much appreciated!
