Qt is *much* larger. Qt is far more than a graphical toolkit. It can be used for non-gui applications, db access, etc, etc. It is cross platform (Win, Mac, Linux, embedded, etc ). It rivals MS MFC, except it does more and does it better. libQt3Support.so libQtCLucene.so libQtCore.so libQtDBus.so libQtDeclarative.so libQtDesigner.so libQtDesignerComponents.so libQtGui.so libQtHelp.so libQtMultimedia.so libQtNetwork.so libQtOpenGL.so libQtScript.so libQtScriptTools.so libQtSql.so libQtSvg.so libQtTest.so libQtWebKit.so libQtXml.so libQtXmlPatterns.so libqca.so There are also a reasonably large set of applications associated with Qt: assistant designer lconvert linguist lrelease lupdate moc pixeltool qcollectiongenerator qdbus qdbuscpp2xml qdbusviewer qdbusxml2cpp qdoc3 qhelpconverter qhelpgenerator qmake qmlviewer qt3to4 qtconfig qtdemo qttracereplay rcc uic uic3 xmlpatterns xmlpatternsvalidator Note that I have been a developer using Qt for about 4 years. The most important thing was it's cross platform capabilities. Having more than one version of Qt on my system is very important when upgrading. > Going back to Gnome, I further purpose that we get rid of the version > directory under /etc/gnome.

I can't really address this well because I don't build/use gnome. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
