[OT] New "free" IDE from Trolltech

Has anybody seen this one...?

   http://trolltech.com/developer/qt-creator

It seems CodeGear is getting stiff competition from all sides now!
RemObjects took over the .NET side.  Eclipse from the Java side. Free
Pascal/Lazarus taking over the Delphi native side (my personal
opinion). And now TrollTech wants to take over there C/C++ side.  Poor
company [CodeGear] must be pretty worried by now - their future seems
more and more uncertain by the day.

Regards,
  - Graeme -

Re: intrepid and lazarus

It seems not so easy to install fpc 2.3.
I tried your link, after the fist step:

$MAKE all OPT='-gl -O3p3'  PP=ppc386

I got:
Makefile:2261: *** No libgdb.a found, supply NOGDB=1 to disable debugger support.  Stop.

So I used:
make all OPT='gl -O3p3' NOGDB=1 PP=ppc386

and I got this error and the compilation aborted:

make all OPT='gl -O3p3' PP=ppc386

You got a buggy version of the source snapshot. As you noticed (with 
fpc.zip), today's snapshot doesn't have it (also fixed in fpcbuild.zip).

Getting started with WinCE/Windows Mobile

I'm a long term Delphi user but completely new to Lazarus/fpc. I'm looking
at Lazarus as a means of programming a Windows Mobile Pocket PC in a
language I already know.

I found some information on installing a WinCE development system, and I
understand I need the basic Windows Lazarus install plus an add-on install
for WinCE. It was stated I had to have exactly the same fpc version for each
of them.

I have found and installed lazarus-0.9.26-fpc-2.2.2-win32.exe, but the only
file I can locate for what I think is the WinCE add-on is
lazarus-0.9.23-fpc-2.2.1-20070916-cross-arm-wince-win32.exe

Can anybody advise me what I should install please?

Many thanks in advance,

Andy

Re: Mac OS X : Certain properties not being persisted...

Thanks to who-ever fixed the ItemHeight problem. 
This is now working correctly with SVN 17166.

Re: [OT] New "free" IDE from Trolltech

Graeme,

Guess you didn't get the news about RemObjects and Codegear joining forces:

http://bitwisemag.com/

Also, TrollTech (now owned by Nokia) has had Qt Designer for years for C++ developers working with Qt. Not
sure what changes with Qt Creator (maybe just a new name?).

Thanks.

-Phil
