Absolutely -- I've started a CVS branch to do that some time ago, but never had enough time to finish it (day job needing 24x7 attention), and it didn't look like anyone else is interested. > How different is qt4 from the current > version that Opie uses? Very different. Opie is still using Qt 2.x, porting it to 3.x is possible w/ reasonable work, then porting it to 4.x is really time consuming unless you want to bloat it by using the Qt3 backward compatibility libraries. It may be interesting to see what Qtopia 4 does -- maybe we can copy a lot of stuff from there. > I'm doing some GSM development work for familiar > this spiring, and would like to build a Opie GUI if it will be usable with > qt4. Will it? If some volunteers step up and help porting, it will ;) I'll probably have some time to continue porting it soonish, but probably not enough to get it done alone. My current work is tagged QT4. > I think Opie is great!
