[OSM-talk] QT4 [WAS:N00b experiences]

as far as I have seen, it uses Qt4 only. There isn't any KDE version out 
yet (except for some devel snapshots) which uses Qt4.

The advantages of Qt4 over GTK are:
* Easy multithreaded programming (if needed)
* Easy cross-platform programming (Win Mac Lin)
* True object oriented programming
* Easy to use, you just get what you need

That's the reason why I use Qt4 for my own projects
http://christeck.de/pages/simplesysexxer.html
and hopefully soon
http://gebabbel.sourceforge.net

So if you want to compile and run a Qt4 app, you only need the Qt4 
libraries, there are no KDE dependencies.


Best regards,
