It is available for windows and for unix/linux.
Just been to the TrollTech website. The windows version of Qt is not fully GPL compatible. See http://www.trolltech.com/developer/download/qt-win-noncomm.html. Based on my interpretation of this discussion, I would say that that would rule out any xlauncher made with Qt for Windows from being distributed by setup.exe. The site also states that it requires MS Visual Studio v6, although my guess is that it could be used with gcc, but would probably take more work. OTOH, wxWindows (http://www.wxwindows.org) is fully GPL compatible. And for those of us that are not C or C++ experts, there is wxPython (http://www.wxpython.org) with an open-source IDE (http://boa-constructor.sourceforge.net/) which is suprisingly useable despite the version number (0.1) - although I'd suggest the CVS version. Rasjid.
