Actually that is pretty easy to do in a C++ program. There are many of programs on the net (I have even made one) that just converts a binary file into a char array cpp file with a header to expose the variable it is stored too and the size. It is compiled to the data section at compile time and makes it all very easy to access. As you can imagine, it is *very* easy to make a program like that. :) On Sat, Oct 17, 2009 at 1:05 AM, Pau Garcia i Quiles <[email protected]> wrote: > . >> Why the requirement on QT though?

I actually meant something along the lines of just including webkit itself (nothing else) and displaying it directly with a titlebar. On Windows that would require very little code, as I think it would everywhere else too, just a single other cpp file with a unified header where the appropriate cpp file is compiled in (or put it all in one file with a macro to determine things based on the OS it is compiled on, the code is certainly short enough to do it this way too). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
