Qt/Mac Application Developer Contest

whitefael writes "Trolltech is sponsoring a contest in order to increase the number of Qt/Mac applications available and to award the best commercially developed and free Qt-based applications on the Mac. The prize? A screaming Power Mac G5! The top ten will be announced at Apple's World Wide Developer (WWDC) Conference 2004, June 28-July 2. The top two from each category will also receive iPods. Anyone out there interested? You have until May 7, 2004 to enter."

Re:Qt vs. GTK

[TheRaven64]

I've not seen that study, do you have a link? I'm quite surprised by the result. I use the Jabber client Psi on my Mac. It was developed on Linux. To port it to the Mac, they needed to create a new makefile. For the first few Mac releases, none of the developers even had access to a Mac (they just sent code snapshots to someone else to build).

GTK may be more efficient for *NIX/X11 development, but it doesn't touch Qt in the cross platform arena.

Though RangerRick has done a lion share of the work (vastly more than probably the rest of us combined) there are a lot of other people involved in the project as well who have contributed a lot of time (Martin, IceFox,,ChArles etc..) albeit with less to show for it (with the exception of IceFox) I personally blame X11's virtual keyboard.....*damn you X11 virtual keyboard implementation*

But yes, things are coming along quite nicely in the KDE-Darwin land =)

Drop by and say hi! irc.kde.org channel=#kde-darwin or visit at KDE on Darwin HomePage

We are always looking for help!

download it and look in /Developer/qt/doc/html/index.html

It's not monolithic, but it's all in one download.
