Why not just port the GPL version of Qt to Windows? The kde-cygwin project is doing that right

I don't think it's a good idea :( Now, we only need a few classes and code for porting KWQ to windows specific code (and more platform optimised than Qt). While Qt need 10-15 huge base classes to be ported, and platform "tuning " on top level code (platform independent).
And, i don't like the port idea, because trolltech use Qt under windows as main product, and porting the GPL version to windows ...
*sigh* yes, i agree this is a problem. I don't want to hurt Trolltech, I just wish Qt could be used as a GPL cross-platform lib. Am still looking for a creative solution that would work for both Trolltech and the community, so if anyone has any ideas... ;)
i don't have any :(
In past, i have already done much of Qt (2.x version) porting under windows for a personal project. A first implementation is really easy but for a real industrial one, you need too much code with too much problems (you have to understand well what the top levels classes do, etc...)
BTW, I have setup a project and already started porting the build stuff to use mingw32.
The mingw32 guy use a mix of win32 and unix compat layers (yakk) :(
I think you are speaking of cygwin here. AFAIK, mingw creates native windows executables/libraries...
yes, i know but last time i saw they have partially used own compat librairies (who use native windows calls)
as i said before, i think helping the kwq-win32 project is the right way
yah, it sounds like KWQ is the answer for wines needs
i think too :)
Cheers,
