AmiQute Challenge 2025

Look - somebody dropped a scroll. Let's open it :

This is to incentivise people who would like to try it. Here's a very short video of my old tests with Qt6 for AOS4 on a QEMU Mac Mini M1.


@elfpipe
Thanks for your work!

the only problem is qt apps mostly suck. But maybe we can get a new browser if someone can wrap webkitty in a QtWebKit object?

@NinjaCyborg

I have to disaggree. I only share this, because it is friday and I really love this place. The following app is groundbreaking for scientific work. It is going to save your ass a million times, if you are caught up in computations. And it thorougly shows, that Amiga is once again on the forefront of computing.

I hope, you like it.

favCalc 1.0

Tested qt6demos on my SAM460ex with RX550 and they work OK.

And looved favCalc!!!!! X-)

I don't think everything from QT is bad. There are a number of apps that are really great and could fill the gap left by missing software in AmigaOS 4.1.

Here is a short list of Qt apps, and yes, it is quite long.

One example is Transmission, a torrent client based on QT.

All we have at the moment are QT demonstrations, but since QT6.x already supports gles2 under AmigaOS 4.1, the GUI of the respective app could be accelerated enough to be user-friendly under AmigaOS 4.1.

Hey, thanks for the QT6 demos. The cube is really cool. Is there a complete installer for Qt6 for AmigaOs4.1 that permanently installs it in the system? So that an assign is no longer necessary?

The conceptual value of the qt6 assign is to have a root folder to dynamically link against libraries and plugins. Given the fact, that we are linking statically (you probably noticed when downloading the files) this function is not so salient. Qt6 might sometimes save application states, and this goes somewhere in the qt6-amiga folder. So if you are lucious, you choose a folder on your work partition, make a fixed assign there, and that is all the installation you need.

Now we are at it: The reason for the static constraint is, that there is no way to implement signals and slots using the combination of publicly available system libraries and build tools.
