I do not program in windows anymore, so I did not try to have a windows version of the qt embedded binding. It was already enough work in itself. You are ofcourse free to make one :-) The binding is made in C/C++, one of the makefiles is 2730 lines. So it helped me remember why I prefer to code in pascal. Compiling the binding was a nightmare, because of the incompatibilities between the c-compilers. You need the exact same compiler as the one the qt/embedded library was created with. And it is impossible to just take the source of that compiler and compile it with a recent compiler, the compiler source is not compatible anymore. So you need to cycle back several times. Mandrake: You can always download a fresher iso. It is worth it. Kylix works fine till and including version 10.1 (so not 2005 or 10.2, but that is off list) kind regards, Den Jean _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
