README.gqt

Hi there.

If you've found this code, chances are, it's not what you want. It's very incomplete, probably very ugly, and it may also be against your religious beliefs.

If you're still with me, here's what it is. At the core of things, it's a wrapper providing the GTK (and GLib interfaces) wrapping around Qt.

The ultimate aim is to allow GTK/GLib applications to compile with Qt to provide a more unified system (with less dependancies, i.e. GTK), and to ease porting of applications to Qt.

Architecturally, it's one big ugly .h (this will probably change, as more stuff is wrapped) 'gtk/gtk.h', which provides the GTK API, and includes the Qt equivilants (i.e. QtGui and so on) to do the heavy lifting.

To use this with an application using GTK, you'll need to first verify it builds as valid C++ (sorry, it's required.)

To do this, substitute g++ for gcc, and make sure it doesn't blow up.

If it does, fix your code.

If it doesn't, try something like this:
g++ my.c -o myapp -I/home/my/path/to/gqt -I/home/my/path/to/qt4/include -I/home/my/path/to/qt4/include/QtGui -I/home/my/path/to/qt4/include/QtCore -L/home/my/path/to/qt4/lib -lQtCore -lQtGui -Wl, --rpath -Wl, /home/my/path/to/qt4/lib

.. and obviously, run myapp.

If it doesn't work, fix it, and tell me about the fix.
