Qt/embedded an option?

SDL Development
1

hi,

has anyone plans to make qt/embedded run on
top of the sdl-layer? trolltech has announced
to put the qt 2.2 version under GPL (well,
not LGPL ), and by the current infos
that I have, the graphics system just needs access
to a linear framebuffer which sdl/dx could provide
on winos, right? Would be a mature widget-lib
on top of sdl, free for noncommerical things.

After all, the decision has to wait until we can
see the sourcecode, so I am just asking if anyone
is pondering with the idea.

thanks

Try OpenGUI - www.tutok.sk/fastgl - not SDL but powerful

It’s an interesting idea to me. It shouldn’t be too hard to implement…

See ya!
