As a kde user, the qt dependency is a non-issue for me :p but... the

Sorry for that. According to this
http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/12/15/qt-4-8-0-released/
Qt has been released more than a month ago.
Yes QT4.8 is released but it's use in actual linux distros is only found
in developer/pre-release versions of kde. Stable release kde in the main
distros currently is 4.7.* built on QT4.7 .
Using the qt library for ttfautohint is understandable, but i
suggest it needs to be aimed to build out of the box on the main
linux distros, at the very least.
I'll try to avoid a 4.8.0 dependency.
Out of interest, do we know what the situation would be for someone
porting ttfautohint to a cocoa etc build for osx?
Qt binary packages seem to be available for Cocoa:
http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/qt-for-open-source-cpp-development-on-mac-os-x/
I know many would want that.
It seems I have to delve into the cross compilation business. Another
completely new frontier for me...
I would suggest the best way to go, if at all possible, is a native osx
ttfautohint, rather than an X11 version . In the long run isn't that
the most elegant solution? a linux/Qt built ttfautohint, and a,
OSX/cocoa built ttfautohint?
