My issue is that I really can't get a handle on the KDE4 porting process. On the other hand, I'm fairly comfortable with the OpenGL model so I have a much clearer picture of how it would work... Remember, that negative coordinants are valid in ktechlab so that, normally, you don't have to

[Ktechlab-devel] KDE4 port

2009-11-16 Thread Julian Bäume
hi, I want to discuss some thoughts and some work, I put into porting to KDE4. I found it useful to divide porting into different steps. Some of these steps will be quite invasive to the code-base and could also be called rewriting of some parts. I won't refer to everything that needs to be

If you have questions on how to do anything with Qt4, be it QGraphicsView or mapping some other thought on Qt4, just ask me. I do Qt programming for a living since half of a decade. Unfortunately I cannot give any advises on KDE because I use a mac for daily programming. That also means I would be
