Qt Native News

Here's the new repository:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtamigaosnative/

Current state of affairs is, that qmake has been built
(completely native) and I'm working on the rest of the command line tools (moc etc). Once this is done, I will continue to try and do a completely native version of libQtCore.so with no amicygnix utils and no glib. This should be "fairly simple".

Once all this is over, I can continue to the hard part, namely to do libQtGui.so. This is not going to be easy...

All help and encouragement is welcome!

@alfkil

Good luck!

@alfkil

Well, I'm not a coder, so I cannot help you much here.

Just to let you know that I would appreciate *a lot* a QT native (!) port.

This will have both a massive impact for us, Amiga users, in terms of potential new ports and/or new native apps (easier to be ported on other platforms) and will have a massive impact outside (can you imagine going at the QT Developer Day showing off an Amiga?!?!?!?).

WoW go on please don't give up :)

@alfkil

Good luck! I will follow your progress with a beer in my hand.

@Joeled

I'd advise you to have replacements available, before that beer turns stale.

Even for Alfkil, this is no one-beer task.

@Alfkil

Yay! Go, man, go!



Best regards,

Niels

Well, technically you can already do that with the Amicygnix port if you want .

@all

Thanks for the encouragement

@alfkil

Wow, this is really great, good luck !

@nbache
I was almost encouraged to say something funny about Swedes and beers but I better not.

Good luck Alfkil and cheers Joeled

Yeah! Nice one! Go go go!

@alfkil

Please, please, please make an Amiga native libraries if posible and get away of these linux so objects

@alfkil

Awesome! Even an AmiCygnix version is great, but a native version would be fantastic!

If I didn't have the slowest Internet connection in the world and have to be away from my Sam440 12 hours each day for work, I might be tempted to help.

I used Qt at work for several years.

@alfkil

Man, I'd love a new user interface on Amiga! Would be great to program with something a little more feature complete. Good luck with the project.. I'll be watching you. :) (not literally..)

@alfkil

it's dudes like you that make me happy I bought OS4.1 and got back into the Amiga scene after all those years .....we Amigans applaud you ROCK ON

@nbache

I always have replacements available I have full confident in alfkill

@Troels
Cheers!!

great work so far man, here's hoping you stay motivated and complete it!

@alfkil

So forgive my noobness, but what is QT?

Had a very brief look at the website - so its not QuickTime - is it some sort of programming language?

@djrikki
QT (done by Nokia) its one more developers toolkit (and not only gui) toolkit (like tons of others, GTK, all that wxwidgets stuff and so on), and also pretty popular. There is open-source apps which based on the QT:

http://qt-apps.org/

For users and developers it mean more new and modern programms and games.

@alfkil

Cool! Qt is nice to program for/in.

Did I mention I have been at a garden party at the home of the inventor of Qt (no, it's not Nokia) and the first employer of Trolltech!? He had a prettty nice house

Good luck on your quest :)
