Ahh, so you meant this one:
http://qt-project.org/
Rockbox sure sounded like something AV that might make use of QuickTime.
At least with VirtualBox pretty much everything could be done via the
command line so the inaccessible UI was less of a show stopper. Most
folks have ponied up the cash for a copy of VMWare Fusion since that has
a nice accessible UI. Of course then you have to get Jaws or NVDA
running under windows in the virtual environment.

I remember trying virtual box in snow leppard, it didn't work at all, the qt
applications can also give windows screen readers problems. This is why
developers should use the native controls for their applicatioons and not take
short cuts like using these nonstandard tool kits.

Hi
QT, not quicktime. QT, the GUI toolkit. Rockbox, for example, has absolutely
zero to do with quicktime at all. Perhaps I should have specified that, but I
guess I thought the names of apps would have made that clear.

Hi Jacob,
Is it possible that most of these applications ran QuickTime 7? If Rockbox was
built for the earlier versions, it almost certainly ran QuickTime 7. In Snow
Leopard QuickTime 7 was still distributed on the system DVDs -- it just wasn't
loaded by default. In Lion you're going to have to separately download
QuickTime 7 if you want older AppleScripts based on it to work. You'll also
have to change those references from QuickTime to QuickTime 7. I had to do
this to update my AppleScripts that speed up podcast listening.
To download QuickTime 7 for Lion, check the Apple KnowledgeBase support page:
• Installing QuickTime Player 7 on Mac OS X v10.6 or Later

HTH. Cheers,

Hi all,
So, I'm back on Mac (finally) now that Lion has fixed all of the bugs I
considered show stoppers in Snow Leopard. It's good to be back, however, I'm
having a rather strange problem that I can't account for. No applications based
on QT seem to be accessible anymore. These include TeamTalk, Rockbox Utility,
VirtualBox, and a few others. I didn't use TeamTalk back in sl, but I did use
Rockbox Utility and VirtualBox regularly. In sl, QT applications were quirky
but useable. In Lion, however, I can't use them at all. Everything renders as
unknown, and interacting with these unknowns either reveals nothing or reveals
more blank unknowns inside. The bewildering part about this is that I know a
few people who do not have this issue with these same programs, so I'm trying
to trace it. So far, I've had no luck. I've tried in both 32-bit and 64-bit
modes (I come from a Linux background so I know how 32-bit and 64-bit libraries
can have trouble interacting with one another) but that doesn't make a
difference. I'm wondering if I'm missing a library somehow, but if I am, it's
one that doesn't come with Lion as I've set up Lion in a Fusion virtual machine
and still have the same problem.
Can anyone shed some light on this? Those who have QT applications working with
VoiceOver, did you install or configure anything to make it work? If I can get
this bit working, I can ditch Windows for good.
Thanks
