Re: [Ql-Users] XTC68 Sources
Hi Derek, Is QT a good platform, I used to dabble a little in Linux. I like it, Dave Walker thinks it's a little harder to program that .net - I have no idea as I don't program .net. There are bots of QT that take a while to get your head around. It is, in many places, less easy to figure out that Borlan C++ Builder used to be. Dave has a point! I assume there is a Windows version... How about a QL version There are many versions available at http://qt.nokia.com/. Cheers, Norman. ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [Ql-Users] XTC68 Sources
Evening Dave, QT might produce a portable result, but it is much harder to program. Well, I like it but I have to admit to not programming in .net (any language) so I can't really compare. It's a wee bit harder than Borland C++ Builder, for instance, but I like it. I have a couple of program running under QT on Windows (if I must!) and Linux - and the source code is exactly the same. I'm not an expert by any means though. I did try Fox Toolkit and wxWindows aka wxWidgets (Microsoft got stroppy!) and of the three I liked wxWidgets under wxDev-C++ which was so like Delphi it was quite strange! But that can't be run on Linux (wxDev-C++) so I went (back) to QT. Cheers, Norman. ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [Ql-Users] XTC68 Sources
The Qt source download is about 375Mb (in compressed format), so that would be an immense amount of code to port. Qt assumes a graphical UI, so there would be a need to write a QL specific mapping to support this. It is also written largely in C++, so there would probably have to be port of something like gcc as well - another none trivial task. I cannot see anyone taking on a task of that sort of magnitude on a QL environment.

Re: [Ql-Users] XTC68 Sources
While I am at it, is there any interest in one of the QL emulators running on the iPhone/iTouch? I have been thinking of looking at porting one of them for some time. Dave I've been asked a couple of times if any of the QL emulators can run on such a system. This would definitely open up a potential new niche for the QL! By chance, Urs Koenig also mentions that the iPhone will be part of his QL and Mac Are 25 event later this month. -- Dilwyn Jones ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [Ql-Users] XTC68 Sources
I would love to have a QL-emulator on my iPhone! The problem is, that Apple don´t allow applications, which are able to run other code (like a QL emulator would do with QL programs). There were huge problems with the C64 emulator, too. The authors had to remove C64 Basic and the emulator can only start C64 apps from the Apple App store. BTW: I got my first QLX-card from Rich and will set up my QLX-system tomorrow. So questions will follow for sure;-) Kind Regards, Anton Am 16.10.2009 um 22:31 schrieb Dilwyn Jones: While I am at it, is there any interest in one of the QL emulators running on the iPhone/iTouch?

Re: [Ql-Users] XTC68 Sources
I have heard from a number of sources that Apple may be about to relax that restriction. Having said that you could always jailbreak the phone to run an emulator.
