X11 Ports / Qt 3.3 - Qt 2.3

[medmed]

Hi,

There's a port of QT library v.3.3.0 (m68020) available here with examples and tutorials (and some more screenshots).

It needed latest XFt and XRender libraries to be built.
Latest XFT uses Fontconfig to list available fonts and renders using Freetype (so it doesn't use font.alias).

The port could be better if built with more recent Xext(for xshape functions) and Xcursor.

Regards,

Nice but isnt QT a bit hefty for m68k?

Really cool, looking forward to trying it

I would say that there are the people who bring the hardware and the people who bring the software.
A short answer would be yes, it's heavy, a slightly more elaborate answer would be
- It's a library, so depending on what you code it can be light or not
- today from v4sa onwards it's fine
- the best thing is to give it a try

Thank you very much, learning while having fun and taking on challenges. I'm sure we can do better, but this is a small proof of concept.

There's version 2.3.2 available: If I've done things right, it doesn't need the Fontconfig package to display fonts. It does, however, need X11 and Nvdi installed.
I've uploaded a small archive with some QT v2.3.2 examples in order to quickly test it.

These versions of Qt can imho be built to run directly on a framebuffer and without depending on X11.

Great

Sensational work, especially with the advent of 'super Atari's' in FPGA with high resolution desktops, this opens up lots of potential for interesting applications!
