Qt 4 beta 5 WPI Packages Available

Monday December 14, 2009  By: Christian Hennecke

Silvan Scherrer and Dmitry Kumenov have released several WPI packages of Qt 4 for OS/2 and eComStation for convenient installation and updating:

  1. Qt 4 runtime libraries and plugins: This package is required if you use Qt 4 based applications. Download from:

    ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/qt4/qt-lib-4_5_1-beta5.wpi

  2. Qt 4 development libraries and tools: This is required if you want to compile Qt 4 based applications yourself. Download from:

    ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/qt4/qt-dev-4_5_1-beta5.wpi

    Requires the runtime libraries and plugins package.

  3. Qt 4 demo and example applications which demonstrate the Qt 4 features. The demos are the ideal starting point if you want to learn what Qt is about and what it can do, and the examples will show you how all this works. Building is very easy. Download from:

    ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/qt4/qt-examples-src-4_5_1-beta5.wpi

    Requires both the runtime libraries and plugins (1) and development libraries and tools (2) package.

  4. Full Qt 4 source code (ZIP): This is required to build the Qt library yourself and recommended for developers. See:

    ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/qt4/qt-all-opensource-src-4_5_1-os2-beta5.zip

The Qt 4 for OS/2 and eComStation project relies on donations made by the OS/2 and eComStation community. So far approx. 77% of the required funds have been reached but more is needed to finish the project. Please consider making a donation via:

Qt is a cross-platform application development framework, which is
widely used as a widget toolkit for developing GUI programs. Availability for OS/2 and eComStation both means that developers can easily port existing Qt applications and create new ones more easily.

This already has been the case with Qt 3. Now that Qt 4 is widely used, the netlabs.org Qt 4 project aims to make the latest version 4.5 available for OS/2 and eComStation. It currently is in beta stage and applications start to become available.
