Yes, just about 30 mins after I fired that email off, I downloaded the
lates mono and low and behold, I was able to compile some sample QT
programs using it, in Linux nonetheless. I was shocked and stupified to
say the least, but that is a Good Thing(tm).
I took a trip over to the Trolltech website, and Googled around a bit,
but was unable to find any information on a free developers release of
Qt 3.0 for Windows. (there is a commercial version, but as a poor
student I have not the funds for such a thing). Do the QtC / QtCSharp
bindings work / build with Qt 2.3 ? If so, I'll start messing around
with a Windows build.
Re the Windows.Forms, I now realize after checking out the bindings and
how they are implimented I was a bit over-enthusiastic. I was just
excited that I no longer have to depend on Windows for my GUI C#
development. Nonetheless, I am definitly going to be keeping an eye on
QtCSharp's status.
Keep up the good work Adam!
