Windows Qt 2.3 non-commercial - Borland Free C Compiler
Message 1 in thread
Does anybody actually succeed in compiling QT apps that way?
I know that Troll tech recommend to use Microsoft Vicual C++ with this
version and that it is a binary only distribution but I do not see any reason
why it cannot work...
Having said that it probably requires some work to achieve this and I am
definitvely interested about any experience positive or negative on this
topic....

The Borland compiler/linker assumes a different name mangling scheme
for the libraries/DLLs compared with VC++. There could be other things
lurking in there so it makes building a Borland C++ version from the
shipped DLLs quite a challenge and most likely not a stable version.

Would it possible trolltech release a Borland(or evev mingw32) version of
Qt2.3 binary.Most free developer do not like to use a huge commercial
compiler like MS VC.
