QT 4 Binding

[Daniel Völkerts]

Hello!

I played around a while with Ruby. I'm also watching the discussion on
the different GUI libraries and their different aspects. Okay, just to
mention, the real question follows...

I tested Qt 4 and the new Designer and 'Whoo...'. The creation of GUI is
very simple. As I have to develop many CRUD Interface I wonder if I
can combine the power of Ruby (+ ActiveRecord) with the power of this
new GUI framework.

I punish the Google engine a lot, but my impression is, that I only
could use Ruby/Qt with Qt version 2? Is this a right assumption or (and
I hope so) is there a solution for Ruby and Qt 4?

Please report me any hints. In addition: I need the native look & feel
which Qt 4 supports the best (I think).

TIA,

Daniel

The Qt/Korundum bindings are currently working on this computer I'm typing =
on=20
with KDE 3.4.0 and Qt 3.3.5. They are not yet ready for Qt 4. A Qt 4=20
version is in the works.

Great. On rubyforge I saw that there is also a up-to-date Qt/Ruby
version. Does this implies that I can also run this bindings on windows
(sorry I forgot to mention that I've to use this as my main target
platform)?

Thanks for your quick and clear answer.

There should be a Qt4 binding released very soon. It works well for me on
Linux, and I'm still experimenting with the Mac. Neither Richard nor I can
really test it out on Windows, so while it should *technically* work it may
require some hand holding and trickery to make it do so. Any help is
appreciated.

That sounds great. Is there any source repository I can you for testing
(with anonymous access)? I can post my results here.

Greetings and thanks for this great help,

It's here:

svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdebindings

In the smoke/qt, kalyptus and qtruby directories. If you have any problems
building the Smoke library or Qt4 QtRuby on Linux, Caleb or myself will be
happy to help out. Then if you can get it working on Linux we think it
shouldn't be too hard to port to Windows.

Thanks a lot, I'll try if me there is enough time I'll report my results.
