Anton - Perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself here - but it sounds like the HPI GUI app source code could be included in the OpenHPI project - but that the user would be responsible for downloading the QT4 development/runtime kit prior to building it? If this is what you are envisioning, then the HPI GUI app would have to have its own separate build target in the OpenHPI makefile - so that user can still build the rest of the OpenHPI (including the clients) without having the QT4 stuff present. I would not want to require/force users to load the QT4 stuff if they don't care about using the new HPI GUI app.
So the only dependency on QT4, in the above description, is the HPI GUI app you are proposing. Is that how you see it going? My desire here is for not adding new header file/code dependencies in the build chain for stuff that is already working. In other words, I should still be able to build the existing OpenHPI and clients without having QT4 present. --michael > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2010 2:47 PM > To: [email protected] > Cc: '[email protected]' > Subject: Re: [Openhpi-devel] HPI GUI application proposal > > > Michael, > > Yes, it requires QT4. > Yes, one need to have Qt4 for compilation (like glib or > openssl for OpenHPI). > Dan pointed out there is no problem with BSD app and GPL lib. > > > Anton - > > > > I'm assuming the HPI GUI application you are proposing > requires the QT4 > > libraries to compile/run.
