I may be a fool. But I don't take no for an answer just like that. I need to understand *why* QT is needed and why qt-embedded can't replace it. I have peeked in the source code of mythtv, qt and qt/embedded. I am by no means an expert but I still think my findings are valid. mainserver.cpp in the backend subproject imports the following headers: #include <qapplication.h> #include <qsqldatabase.h> #include <qdatetime.h> #include <qfile.h> #include <qdir.h> #include <qurl.h> #include <qthread.h> #include <qwaitcondition.h> #include <qregexp.h> Looking at the source code of qt-embedded I find all of these interfaces present. So why is it that qt-embedded isn't good enough? /Lasse ------------------------------------------------------ This mail was sent through Jay.net: http://www.jay.net _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
