Due to the licensing requirements of Linux. The IDE on the other hand I've never really found useful personally. So the only real problem is knowing how to use the QT framework / library, on which there are many good videos on youtube.

I would not say "bucky" is an expert programmer, but he has like 50 to 75 videos on QT, each talking about specific parts of QT widgets, and what not. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
