I'm up for it. Gaining ground on the knowledge of it bit by bit.
And I mean that literally. Even with the books I have, not a single
one of them can be followed verbatim with Qt 5.5.x. <sigh><br>
<br>
I did find a gem, though. With a previous normal Makefile, one can
use "qmake -project" and generate a Qt project based upon the
original Makefile. Usually, some editing required, of course.<br>
<br>
Wasn't there a guy who said he might could give us pointers? I
don't have those emails as I have to reconstruct X on that machine.
It was my normal email computer; this one is just a backup so I
don't have a lot of history in it. (Power outage corrupted a few
files, yes, even on Linux that happens. I now have a UPS for it,
too.)<br>

<div dir="ltr">hey David,
<div>You and I had a thread about this. You didn't get much of a
bite on the general thread so we took it offline. I think you
had a specific problem installing Qt on a Raspberri Pi which
you resolved and then the offline thread died. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm still interested in learning more about Qt. There are
reasons why a group of people looking into it is a good idea.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The documentation is notoriously sparse. And Qt has
different development approaches for using Python versus
Javascript versus C++, and on top of that there are
differences for building mobil/crossplatform apps versus
Mac/Linux/Windows compiled apps. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And then there's all the Qt widgets to get to know. Plus
the undocumented features like the build option to use a
specified number of processors which only works on Windows but
not on Linux, because on Linux it will use *all* processors,
which can lock up your computer. Plus the version distributed
with Ubuntu was created to build apps for their phone (which
is now a dead project), and you have to remove that version
before you reinstall it from the general distribution repo.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Lots of people around here know a particular usage of Qt.
It would be super beneficial if we compared notes. </div>
