Qt Bindings for Go

[Russel Winder]

Given a project I am starting needs a GUI on GNOME, OSX and Windows, I
suspect Qt would be a better choice than Gtk. But whilst there is a good
Gtk binding for Go, there appears to be no publicly available Qt
binding.

http://go-lang.cat-v.org/library-bindings

leads to

https://github.com/visualfc/go-ui

which leads to

https://github.com/visualfc/goqt

which is an empty project. Clearly LiteIDE has absorbed this code as a
private API.

The question is whether there is a viable, but as yet unpublicized on
the standard Go place, Qt binding for Go. A binding that supports GUI
specification files generated from Qt Designer most welcome.

Thanks.

Qt itself has some nasty C++ preprocessor functionality and requires cmake. This makes it not very well suitable for Go. Gustavo Niemeyer wrote go-qml and there is also a special group for it. Of course, you could also use tcl/tk. There is a very small package for it (google).

Tcl/tk:  github.com/nsf/gothic

Works like a charm.

Hi Russel,

As Gerard said, the qml package for Go is supposed to cover that case
well, and I'd be glad to work with you to sort out your use case. If
you have any needs that you feel are uncovered, or need any help with
getting it to work, please come over to the mailing list and let's get
it rolling.

Splendid. I'll try getting tooled up to use qml and see if it Just
Works™.
