Qt on Amiga

The first QtGui testapp is now running on my Amiga! 8-D

Very simple one, but it works.

@alfkil

well done mate.. hope we can see something soon

@alfkil

Nice work.

@alfkil

Screenshot, screenshot

Great work

Good to hear. The more apps we get the merrier

@Raziel

I don't know how to upload pictures here... Help!

@alfkil

Upload it somethere , and then use tags [ img=http://yur_site/your_link_on_image.jpg]description[ /img] (remove the spaces after [ brakets )

@alfkil

or on main menu, images - submit

Phone company shut down my website... So I'll give you a link to my dropbox instead:

Actually, this screenshot is from the second testapp, and it hangs when I press "Add" or downsize the window.

@alfkil

Hm.. did i understand rigth, that is will be based on AmiCygnix ? I.e. not native ?

@kas1e

Yes, it runs through AmiCygnix. A native port would be a nightmare for a rookie like me...

Are you going to give this a shot in the future?

@alfkil

Either do a [ img ] http://www.address.of/the/image [ /img ] (without the spaces) or upload it to the free screenshots database here on amigans.net and set a link to it

Amicygnix.... damn... im out of here :)

@alfkil

AmiCygnix?

ahh, too bad, i don't want to start one program just to be able to use another.

Anyway, good luck with the project and maybe get in touch with Edgar Schwan, he is the maintainer of AmiCygnix and is probably willing to help you once you get the means to "port" it over to OS4 (native)

@alfkil

When it comes out, Ill use it, AMiCygnix is not that bad, Native is always better sure, but we should be happy we even have the capability to use various Linux software that has been used and tested by many many people.

Good work and effort.

Cheers

Hello alfkil

Any news? Are you progressing well?

@Elwood

Sorry to disappoint you, but I haven't done any work on Qt since my last post. The SAM system I work on is not at my home, so I only get to work on Amiga stuff once in a while. Also my attention has been caught by Hollywood 4, for which I am now writing a fighting game (with real human actors :)), and I'm starting to do a fair bit of composing (for real life musicians, that is), so most of my brain is now happily inhabited by more "creative" work than a "mere porting job" would be. And don't get me wrong, I'm totally impressed by the increddible work done by people like Edgar Schwartz and the Friedens in porting complicated programs for our platform, but for me that kind of work is just a tad more dull than actually realizing ideas comming out of my own hat/head. (Also I'm not actually a very advanced programmer and Qt is actually a little over the top for me. I'm much more comfortable with the simplicity of Hollywood).

When I've finished my game (should't take too long) I might get back to my Qt project.

@alfkil

You could upload the sources to OS4depot in the meanwhile...

Thanks

@Elwood

I would if I thought it would be of any use to anyone. But at the moment it's just one big mess, somebody else might as well just start all over with the X11 sources...

I will try to find time to work on it again sometime soon, promise.
