Hi,

I've created a pure QT version, too. Instead of using .pro files, if created new \
autoconf / automake scripts and patched the taskjuggler core a little bit due to the \
"lack" of windows specific things, eg. path handling.

Additionally I've ported the core library to use QT4. This might be interesting for \
Chris, so that you are not doing the same work again ;)


I do not know, what the current status of Chris work is, in order to split the \
dependencies between the core library and the GUI.  But I think, we could coordinate \
our work together, so that we have a consistent system for building taskjuggler on \
different plattforms. On windows I've used the mingw compiler and cygwins autoconf / \
automake mechanism to get the things running.  One problem might be the support of \
the microsoft compilers. But, since QT4 itself does not support MS compilers in the \
GPL version, this might only be a small issue.


Currently, I dream from a taskjuggler version, that would be usable on Windows like \
it is useable on Linux. TJ is really a very good tool, that might be used in many \
companies. Unfortunately, many companies do not use Linux as their main operating \
system -- Windows is widely spread. 

In a longterm sight, I would like to see a good linux and a good windows version of \
taskjuggler. But there is a lot to do in order to get this running, since TJ depends \
on really many KDE libraries. 

Netherless, maybe there is a chance to drive the development of taskjuggler a bit \
more plattform independent, eg. by introducing a common interface layer or similar \
things. I know, that this is not an easy job.

What I'm first interested in is, what do you think about that idea? 

As a first step, the splitting of the whole project into more independent parts would \
be a huge win. That is already announced for the next major version. So it would be \
easier as a first to have the core on both plattforms.

Let me know, what you think?

Best Regards,
    Sven
