The only reason I opted for a full DB instead of SQLite is that the behavior of SQLite when a single database is heavily accessed by multiple applications simultaneously is unknown to me. Keep in mind the context here is multiple independent student teams. I actually envision an integrated product rolling the separate applications back into a single app with SQLite for a typical xastir user install. SQLite is especially attractive with Qt, as Qt has SQLite support built in (although the GIS extensions aren't present). > I'd also imagine wxWidgets would be much more portable and easier to > write than Qt, but YMMV. I tried wxWidgets once. It sucked most horribly just trying to get the libraries to compile. Besides being a proven cross-platform development tool, Qt has other desirable aspects from the software engineering course point of view. -Jason kg4wsv _______________________________________________ Xastir-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir-dev
