Visual C++ support will not be available for Qt/Windows GPL

Guest post by Ad Killer 2005-02-10 Qt 93 Comments

After reading through the FAQ here I've noticed this particular statement: "The C++ compilers from Microsoft, Intel and Borland are not supported by the tools in the GPL version." The most common and most widely used C++ for Windows is none other than Visual C++. However, at this point OSS development using Qt/Windows GPL is for GCC developers only.

Trolltech to Extend Dual Licensing to Qt for Windows

Adam Scheinberg 2005-02-07 Qt 146 Comments

The Dot reports: "Trolltech, maker of the Qt toolkit which forms the basis for KDE, announced today that the Qt version for Microsoft Windows will be available under the GPL in addition to its current commercial license offerings for that platform. This change will take place with the release of Qt 4. The Qt version for Linux has been available under a similar dual licensing scheme for several years already. The availability of a GPL'ed Qt for Microsoft Windows will make it much easier to distribute KDE applications that run on the Microsoft Windows platform."

Installing Qt Non-Commercial on Windows

Guest post by Kevin Walzer 2004-08-18 Qt 27 Comments

The recent book C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3 contains complete distributions of a relatively-current (3.2.1) version of Qt for Linux, Mac and Windows. Installing Qt on Windows wasn't easy, though--certainly not as easy as one would expect. I ran into a number of little quirks that took a surprisingly long time to resolve. These issues aren't Trolltech's fault, just little gotchas to be aware of--but they are frustrating if you don't know how to deal with them.
