QT 5 Will Be Available For Raspberry Pi

Posted by timothy on from the expectation-ratcheting-continues dept.

New submitter sirjohn writes with the good news that "A small group of ICS and Nokia engineers have started working on a minimal bootstrap to bring fully functional Qt 5" to the Raspberry Pi, writing "Do you want to create the next big thing on embedded devices and have $35 to invest? You can now have a complete development environment with accelerated graphics for basically nothing. I think it's a big deal ..." Plus, Nokia is funding 400 of the boards and looking for ideas (and developers) to use them. The competition is stiff; there are already quite a few impressive ideas listed.

    Why expect everyone else to do things for you?

    Instead of whinging, why not make the effort and sign up for their mailing list and they'll email you when its out. (early/mid December is the bookies fav at the moment).

    It has an AT91SAM7X512 Arduino shield compatible. I've not checked if anyone has added this to the Arduino IDE yet but you can always use .NET ;)
