Hi Mark, (note: now that http://qt-project.org is up and running, I'd suggest you subscribe there and start directing questions to those MLs, hopefully e.g. the development list will see some activity..)

You probably want to be looking at the qtbase repository, specifically, qtbase/src/plugins/platforms/. > And what happened to QtCore? Is that now QtBase? Modules and repositories are not a 1:1 mapping, for various reasons and I'm not the best person to talk about that. But basically, qtbase is where an awful lot of stuff like qtcore and the platform plugins live, so that's a good first bet fore 'core' functionality. Most of the others are fairly self-explanatory, I think, perhaps with the exception of 'qtpim' which appears to contain the Contacts, Organizer, etc functionality formerly from Mobility. > So where do i get started with this? Assuming you have a working Qt5 build already: have at it. Hack away, write autotests for your code as much as possible, test your functionality by writing an example app(s) using it... whatever you want. If you don't, then take a look at the README in the Qt5 repo for help on getting set up (note: you apparently also need to pass '-qpa' to configure as of recently, I plan to submit a change adding some more docs to all of that. If configure fails, try adding a '-v' parameter, too, to see why.) Pop onto #qt-labs on freenode if you aren't there already, too. Lots of helpful folks around, just be a bit patient for answers, particularly if you're asking outside of european office hours.. :) BR, Robin _______________________________________________ Qt5-feedback mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt.nokia.com/mailman/listinfo/qt5-feedback
