OT: X programmer needed for XGameStation IDE

Am 22 Aug 2004 23:36 meinte Vintage Computer Festival: Uh-oh if it'S native windows right now, it will be a pure nightmare. Especialy whany they expect to have future releases on both platforms. The best aproach would be switching for a complete environment, that is available on both platforms ... for example Qt. First port the App to a QT base and then just move it over to Linux. Qt is 100% compatible availabe forWindows, X11 and Mac (and an embedded aproaches for embedded Linux), so moveing over would also open the IDE to Mac Fans. Also, maybe most important, if the actual implementation is MFC based (I suppose so), there is an almost automated way to move an MFC App to Qt. Ok, it's still work, nonetheless, they put in a lot of work to make it easey. They even cover some areas of DirectX. Most of the changes are needed to hide the more advanced messageing functions of Qt from the Win core. Qt is somewhere between free and non free. As long as you provide the source of your application to the public, you may also use Qt for free - all Libs and Docs are available. If you want to keep the source sode for yourself, aou got to buy a licence per developer. So if the XGS IDE is open source, its a win win. If not, the prices are quite competive.
