Hi Detlef, first of all Gtk+/Hildon is currently not properly working on MeeGo-Handset and it's also not currently supported. Even if someone gets it running it will be only community supported, which means that we have support it ourself.
Still all is not lost :) There have been some smart people working on Gtk+ for MeeGo-Handset and also on Hildon. Also the Gnome-Foundation received 50.000$ funding from Nokia to push Gtk+/Hildon on MeeGo-Handset. They are currently looking for someone to do the work[1]. So if you can't easily port your application to Qt (which I can just understand too good), there are chances that it will run (maybe with small modifications) on MeeGo once this work has been done. So basically you have 3 options: 1) Rewrite using Qt 2) Wait and hope 3) Get involved in porting Gtk/Hildon to MeeGo Cheers, Conny [1] See mail on this list by Dave Neary: [Fwd: GTK+/MeeGo Handset integration work, call for bids] On Thu, 2010-10-21 at 17:23 +0200, ds wrote: > Thanks a lot for the response.
