Qt 0.95 for linux (C++ GUI framework)
in...@troll.no
Qt 0.95 has been uploaded to Sunsite, and will probably be available
in /pub/Linux/X11/devel soon. It is already downloadable from
ftp.troll.no, and at http://www.troll.no/ there is on-line and paper
documentation, screen shots, example programs and more.
Qt is an object-oriented framework for developing graphical user
interface applications. It includes more than 100 classes, both
GUI-specific and general utility classes, as well as support for
component programming (see http://www.troll.no/intro.html for a brief
overview with links to more detail). Qt is very fast and compact
because it is based directly on Xlib and uses neither Motif or X
Intrinsics. Qt's widgets (user interface objects) emulate the Motif
look and feel and in our opinion improve slightly on it.
The drawing engine in Qt is device independent (the exact same code
works on postscript printers and widgets, for example) and includes
advanced features like rotating text and pixmaps.
0.95 is mostly a bugfix release. The main news since 0.93 is that
there are now man pages for each class in addition to the postcript
and html documentation, and support for drawing transparent multicolor
pixmaps.
Qt is free for non-commercial and private/internal use on linux (see
the licence for details, http://www.troll.no/qt/license.html).
Here is a Hello world:
#include <qmsgbox.h>
#include <qapp.h>
int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
QApplication a( argc, argv );
return QMessageBox::message( "Attention", "Hello, world!" );
}
NOTE! If you are running Red Hat with gcc 2.7.1 or later, you can
install Qt using just one command:
rpm -i ftp://ftp.troll.no/qt/linux/qt-0.95-2.i386.rpm
NOTE! The version uploaded to sunsite and the rpm mentioned above both
require gcc 2.7.1 or later. You will find .rpm and .tar.gz files
suitable for gcc 2.7.0 at ftp.troll.no. The distinction is necessary
because sizeof(bool) changed in 2.7.1.
And here is the LSM entry:
