X11 and Qt,
Does anyone have some positive or negative experiences to report?
I'm wondering if I should be focusing on the Mac interface instead,
but am attracted to the idea of easing into the learning process and
building on current gcc, non-gui experience.
You do realize that there is a Mac 'native' version of Qt?
I can only think of a few reasons for using the X11 version
- in order to pay one less platform licence
Last time I looked, both were free.
- porting from an existing X11 app to Qt, and using the QX11 wrapper
classes
- need direct access to some X11 functions not present otherwise in Qt
or Carbon/Cocoa.
There is another good reason, which is one of the main reasons people
are still using X11 on the Mac:
- works over network.
That said, I think I tried once (by mistake) to build Qt X11 on Mac,
and it failed. It isn't a supported platform, at least, not in the
Assistant platform notes.
Fink has packages for the X11 versions of qt3 and qt4, and they build
and work very well, thank you.
