Hi,
Just two things for those thinking about khtml:
- The kdebindings package contains C-language bindings for khtml
(kde_HTML*), so C++ wouldn't be a requirement for calling khtml (this does not affect the qt-replacement api of course).
yes, as qtc in kdebindings is for qt :)
- There is a project to port KWC to win32: KHTML Win32 Native, see
http://sourceforge.net/projects/khtml-win32/ Maybe it is possible to use that.
yes, but it's a really slow project (no cvs access, and only one guy). Maybe we have to help this project
Why not just port the GPL version of Qt to Windows? The kde-cygwin project is doing that right now and it isn't terribly hard (if you know the Windows API ;). I think if some wine developers got involved it could be accomplished very quickly as Qt is almost completely platform agnostic .... it only would require a port of 10 files or so...
See:
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 ...
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) :(
Currently, am stuck in the qfile_win.cpp and qdir_win.cpp (copies of the qfile_unix.cpp and qdir_unix.cpp) with the general functions that abstract file creation/deletion for windows ... but then I don't know any Windows API ;)
lol as i said before, i think helping the kwq-win32 project is the right way
Cheers,
Adam

*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 think you are speaking of cygwin here. AFAIK, mingw creates native windows executables/libraries...

yah, it sounds like KWQ is the answer for wines needs
Cheers,

hehe, maybe Trolltech could release a 'Shared Source' version of Qt for windows... It'd allow people to try Qt (the latest version) and prohibit commercial software... After all, when on a different platform 'do as the locals do' ;)
