Porting QT3 Application to Win32
Message 1 in thread
Hello list,
I am facing a little trouble.
Actually we are developping an application using linux and qt3 on pc (qt3.3.6 and gcc 3.4) and
everything is working fine.
We are forced to compile the same application under Win32 (windows 2k), just to let our
boss to check how the software is working, but I have some lack of information:
1- Where is qt-free-win-3.3.x.exe or similar? I didn't find any on ftp trolltech's site.
2- How to obtain some working system under Microsoft Visual C/C++? How to integrate all stuff,
so I can use qmake and friends? Any link to a useful site will be appreciated.
Regards,

It doesn't exist, because Qt3 is not under GPL for Windows. You have to
purchase a license from TT or find the qt-win-project (not sure whats
its really called), although IIRC by far not all parts of Qt3 have been
ported.

There's VS integration comming with the official Qt3 from TT. You can as
well use qmake in a cmdline and run nmake after qmake.
However: Isn't it easier to set up a VNC Server on a linux box and let
your boss look at the application via a VNC client.

IIRC there's an evaluation version of Qt3 for Win. It may lack some
parts from the opensourced and commercial versions, but perhaps it's
just enough for a preview.
And then there was a "full opensourced" version for Windows coming with
the book "C++ GUI Programming with Qt3" (also IIRC)...

Thank you for your hint. Now I will decide how to proceed further...

As far as we bought that book some time ago, I will try to have some qt exercise on
my boss' pc! ;-)

If you want windows version, you can also try cygwin (
http://cygwin.com/ ) .... with only little effort, I was able to
compile my app (that was based on qt3 and linux) under cygwin
environment. This way I was able to get some windows binary (though
you still need an X server and cygwin dll's to run it, but X server is
also part of cygwin, so that is only a little problem) Qt3 is included
with cygwin as a package. Another option may be porting to qt4, this
is most "clean" solution, but also far from being trivial, as mamny
things changed between qt3 and qt4 ...

you cannot if you do not buy the license for qt 3.3.x;
only qt-4.x are GPL for win32 also.
Check on QT web site.
