[SLUG] Qt/Embedded
John, bending your ear about Qt/Embedded ... How much of KDE works with Qt/Embedded? What are the chances of Konquerer working in this environment, and what guestimate would you reckon for size? Or is this not sensible? TIA Jamie -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug

What are the chances of Konquerer working in this environment, and what guestimate would you reckon for size? Or is this not sensible? It has already been done :) Konqueror has been ported and works fine from Qt/Embedded. The KDE guy who did it ported some of the kdelibs to Qt/Embedded in the process so that they don't depend on X. It therefore makes it even easier to port other KDE apps. One thing that embedded-konqueror is missing is Java. It however has javascript and https. However the kdelibs and a lot of the kde programs aren't exactly tiny so how much sense it makes depends on what kind of application you have in mind. Here's a link to the article on embedded-konqueror http://dot.kde.org/976193346/ From the article it says: "Depending on the compiler/binutils used the size of a stripped binary is somewhere between 2.1 and 2.8 megabytes." I ported konsole to Qt/Embedded by modifying the konsole code to not rely on the KDE libs instead, and it took me a couple of days to do. Was fairly trivial, and in the process I customised it for a smaller screen footprint. Were there other things you had in mind to port to it?
