Luckily, if you're familiar with the Qt3 version, jumping into the Qt4 version isn't too big of a stretch. Thanks, Caleb

Yes, once you get it built - I'm not sure whether QtDBus works on Windows yet but everything else should. Look at the help forum posts on the Korundum site for info about building on Windows. > 2. Is it packaged as a gem? No, it really needs to be. I haven't personally good easy access to a Windows machine for development, and I'm not particularly familiar with the development environment either. Sooner or later I hope there will be a binary gem for Windows..

I will second that. I would love to use ruby and qt together. But my apps are multi-platform, and I can't assume that people who use windows will already have Qt installed. If there was a simple way to get the minimum amount of Qt binaries installed for them, then I would do it for them. ~S

I am starting a GUI project in about a month, and am trying to decide whether to go with wx or qt. The fact that there is a wx gem, makes it sooo much easier for people to install my app. I guess I am just trying to gauge the chances of a qt ruby gem being built? Thanks, ~S

If that doesn't bother you, that's all the legal problems you'll have. It also applies to any Qt rubygem. > I guess I am just trying to gauge the chances of a qt ruby gem being built? If I understood right, you're looking for a gem that would also include Qt4 libraries, is it right ? There would be no legal problem in distributing it, but I think it will be rather tricky to make. I hope I'm wrong. Vince -- Vincent Fourmond, PhD student http://vincent.fourmond.neuf.fr/
