Reinventing GTK: envisioning the future of the toolkit(GTK3+ ????)

[unni]

Thanks to rayraven, QwertyManiac & mehulved for their replies and thanks to praka123 for the post. I have been trying to learn Qt for the past 3 months. I am very much surprised that I missed this (Qt acquisition) news.

rayraven - Only Linux? QT is cross platform I think and both use it on all platforms they publish to?

Sorry for the late reply, missed ur post , somehow.

Anyways,From Wikipedia : *en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype

The Windows user interface was developed in the Pascal-based Delphi programming language, the Linux version in C++ with Qt, and the Mac OS X version in Objective-C with Cocoa.

And AFAIK, Its a similar case with Opera.

 

[praka123]

for such apps,we have to rely on qt-static versions(for eg: opera).

 

[ray|raven]

^Not necessarily, we can get both versions, static and shared.
Opera and Skype come in both options.

Static ones are better for folks not using KDE.

^skype -can u link me to a qt-static .deb?

 

[infra_red_dude]

^^^ Find it here: *www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/linux/choose/

Choose either the static or static-oss.

 

[ray|raven]

The Medibuntu repositories have both static and shared qt deb's.

Also, you can go to this page , choose the os you are using , and get a shared or static package.

Cant verify the skype link though, coz my office proxy has blocked it.

Can someone confirm?

EDIT:Thanx Infra, guess google gave me a correct link indeed

Sorry for offtopic discussions.

what about gtkmm(gtk C++ support):-

gtkmm is the official C++ interface for the popular GUI library GTK+. Highlights include typesafe callbacks, and a comprehensive set of widgets that are easily extensible via inheritance. You can create user interfaces either in code or with the Glade User Interface designer, using libglademm. There's extensive documentation, including API reference and a tutorial.
gtkmm is free software distributed under the GNU Library General Public License (LGPL).

[offtopic] Skype static-oss is supposed to work with PulseAudio. But I could never get it work. PA broke my system. Anyways thats now the issue here. You can try static-oss with PA and report back. Never used Ekiga. But skype works perfectly in Linux! [/offtopic]
