Qt beta 0.92 has been uploaded to Sunsite, and will probably be
available in /pub/Linux/devel/c++ soon. You can also find it from
http://www.troll.no/qt/ where you can also browse the documentation
and some examples.
Qt is an object-oriented framework for developing graphical user
interface applications. It includes around 100 classes, both
GUI-specific and general utility classes, as well as support for
component programming (see http://www.troll.no/qt/metaobjects.html
for a run-down).
It is free for non-commercial and private/internal use on linux (see
the licence for details, http://www.troll.no/qt/license.html). Note:
Qt is not free for other free operating systems or for deserving
people like students, it is free for the linux free software
community.
Hello world:
#include <qmsgbox.h>
#include <qapp.h>
int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
QApplication a( argc, argv );
return QMessageBox::message( "Attention", "Hello, world!" );
}
Qt is very fast and compact because it is based direcly on Xlib and
uses neither Motif or X Intrinsics. Qt's widgets (user interface
objects) emulate Motif look and feel and in our opinion improve
slightly on it. See http://www.troll.no/qt/hierarchy.html for a
complete class hierarchy and http://www.troll.no/qt/widgets-cpp.html
for a 300-line example which uses quite a few widgets.
