I guess I should be a bit more precise here. Nothing stops Qt from
being built statically (especially for Command-line apps). The problem
is that GUI applications need things to load a nib at runtime and we
(and to a lesser extent Apple) have not found a way to keep the current
Cocoa happy without it.
I have written non-GUI Qt command line tools on the Mac with the
Carbon Qt, but I haven't tried static linking..
Can a command-line tool even participate in an event loop (emit/
receive signals) without being in an application bundle?
The short answer is "yes." But only in later version of Mac OS X
(10.4+) and it requires you to "transform" the application yourself.
Jambi does this for example.
I realize this basic question isn't precisely related to Qt 4.4/Cocoa...
Not really, no :-)
