Hi,

Today, I have stumbled upon something I don't know anything about.

Can someone explain to me the basics of qt?

example: If I have an application such as this, what would I need to do to make it run on my n800?

If this is too complex, just tell me so, so I don't get my hopes too high.

I think it's an application frame work for quick UI design.

for example, this is "hello world" example I saw from the net:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QPushButton>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);

QPushButton hello("Hello world!");
hello.resize(100, 30);

hello.show();
return app.exec();
}

This pocker game uses qt4 lib, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=23511, for example.

There is qt-maemo-example, a qt editor, from the repository to take a look.

There is QT4 for the Nokia IT compiled now in the repos. You certainly could use QT, but as of now they are not integrated with the Maemo Hildonised look and feel. Nokia is in fact working on getting QT as another platform to work for the Internet tablets (with Meamo 5 maybe).

So might be good to learn up on QT. Aso another option would be to develop using PyQT - which is python bindings for QT. But PyQT is still not available for the Maemo platform.

funny you should mention that. Look what I ran into this morning

Today we released PyQt4 for Maemo. It is port based on Qt4 for Maemo libraries. Instructions on how to install can be found at project's webpage. Hope all you enjoy it!

Wow ! At last. This is great news indeed. S PyQT at last. I wonder how this will propel QT development on Maemo.

Thanks for the link though.
