Our flagship product is Qt, the multi-platform C++ GUI -toolkit. - -Trolltech AS was founded in 1994, although the development of Qt -itself began in 1992. Since then, Qt has undergone continual expansion -and improvement. Qt is currently used in thousands of software -development projects world-wide. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Is there a graphical designer/dialog builder for Qt? - -Yes, Qt Designer. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Are there mailing lists for Qt? - -There are three: qt-interest, qt-announce and snapshot-users. You can tqfind -descriptions, instructions for joining them, and an archive on -http://lists.trolltech.com/ - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -I think I have found a bug in Qt. Where can I report it? - -Please report to qt-bugs@trolltech.com. Remember to include the version -number of Qt, and the make and version of your compiler and your operating -system. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Is the Reference Documentation available in printed form? - -No. But experimental PDF versions are available. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Is the Reference Documentation available in PDF format? - -Experimentally, yes. -We recommend using the HTML format documentation which is included in -the Qt source archive and is updated with every release, minor or -major. You can browse from your local disk, you don't need to access -www.trolltech.com. Open the file qt/doc/html/index.html with your -favorite web browser, or run Qt Assistant. The PDF files are available -from ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/pdf/3.0 -The PDF files are large, only updated with major version releases, and -their typesetting is experimental. We hope to improve the PDF -typesetting in future, if there is sufficient demand for this format. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -What kinds of license exist for Qt? - -The Qt toolkit is available under two different licenses: The Professional -and Enterprise Editions for commercial use on all platforms, and the Open Source -Edition for developing open source or free software for the X11 platform. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -What are the differences between the Professional/Enterprise Editions and -Open Source Edition of Qt? - -You may write commercial/proprietary/non-free software only if you -have purchased the Professional or Enterprise Edition. The library -itself is the same. With the commercial editions, you also get -technical support and upgrades. A non-commercial edition of Qt for -Microsoft Windows is available. Qt for Mac OS X is only available as -Professional and Enterprise Editions. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Can we use the Open Source Edition while developing our non-free application -and then purchase commercial licenses when we start to sell it? - -No. The Open Source Edition license applies to the development phase -- anything developed without Professional or Enterprise Edition -licenses must be released as free/open source software. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -When will version x.y be released? Will it include so-and-so feature? - -We avoid specifying which features will be available in particular -versions or when versions will be released. This way we never make -promises that are not kept. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Are there any books about Qt programming? - -Yes, several. They are listed on -http://www.trolltech.com/developer/documentation/literature.html - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Is there an evaluation version of Qt for Windows so I can try it out -before purchasing? - -Yes, see details on -http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/evaluate.html - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -I don't want to give away my source code. What do I do? - -Then you need a Professional or Enterprise Edition license. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -What tool do you use to create the Reference Documentation? Where can I -get it? - -The documentation generator we use is an internal tool. You might like -to investigate the Doxygen program, a free tool specifically designed -to be used for projects that make use of the Qt toolkit. Doxygen -offers functionality very similar to our internal tool, and can link -to the Qt documentation. For more information about Doxygen, visit the -Doxygen home page ( http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/ ). Note that -Doxygen is an independent project not supported by Trolltech. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Can I charge for my application? - -If you have a Professional or Enterprise Edition license: Yes, of -course. If you use the Open Source Edition your software must be freely -redistributable and you must include the source. The Open Source Edition -is intended for open source software. We realize that CD-ROMs cost money -to produce, for example, so you may charge a copying fee. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Where can I tqfind Qt Open Source Edition? - -The latest version of Qt Open Source Edition can be downloaded from -http://www.trolltech.com or from ftp.trolltech.com, and a whole range of -ftp mirror sites around the world. Look for a mirror near you on the list -available under http://www.trolltech.com/dl/ We encourage all developers -of free Qt software to upload their work to ftp.trolltech.com. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -I want to port Qt to a new platform. What do I do? - -If the new platform is POSIX-like and runs the X Window System, it's -simple. Read the file PORTING for details. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Can I make a Qt shared library and distribute it with my Linux -distribution? - -Yes. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -I found this obscure bug and I need it fixed, fast! - -Qt Professional and Enterprise Editions includes a technical support -service. We try to support the developers using the Qt Open Source Edition -as well, and we take all bug reports seriously, no matter who they come -from. But, of course, when there's too much to do, and our customers -have highest priority. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -How would you compare Qt with Java? - -We believe Qt to be a superiour solution for most development tasks, -not least for performance and portability reasons.
