Currently it doesn't suggest anything about cmake and the Makefile (that doesn't work) is being installed in the examples/c++ directory. Everything is undocumented because the new build system is _really_ new, but I will document it in the wiki, and I will simply refer to the wiki in the part of README.qt_example which currently discusses the build steps. > I suggested splitting not because of any technical reason, but for > readability.

Let's proceed in steps. 1. Get everything to work with qt.cpp unsplit both for DYNDRIVERS ON and OFF and for the new and old build system for the installed examples. I would also like to see the pyqt4 extension module (which also depends on libplplotqtd) working for the first time as well. Unless you prefer something different, tomorrow (Thursday) I will work on this including checking in your current patch to the unsplit version of qt.cpp (assuming it works for me as well as it did above for you). 2. Split qt.cpp and confirm things still work for the four cases (DYNDRIVERS ON and OFF and for the new and old build system) and also for the pyqt4 extension module. I actually think splitting qt.cpp into device driver code and a library is generally a good idea. However, there are some build system issues to be aware of for the DYNDRIVERS OFF case, but it should be fairly straightforward to solve them once we have 1. working in all cases. 3. Document.
