This post is part of an ongoing series about developments and discussions in Qt. Some parts of this report are still under discussion, and don’t necessarily reflect the final state of Qt 5. The target audience is people involved in Qt development itself, but without the time to follow everything that happens, and others with […]

Automated porting from Qt 4 to Qt 5
Like many companies in tech, KDAB allows employees some time to spend on ‘personal education’, which must be somewhat job-related, but not necessarily Qt-related, and which must be reported on to colleagues. Sometimes that involves reading a book or investigating a new technology, or writing some new interesting tooling, as was the birth of GammaRay. […]
Porting from Qt 4 to Qt 5
Porting from Qt 4 to Qt 5 is intentionally easy. There has been a conscious effort throughout the development of Qt 5 so far to maintain source compatibility compared to Qt 4. Unlike the port from Qt 3 to Qt 4, central classes have not experienced large API cleanups, and there are few new […]

Setting up Kinect for programming in Linux (part 2)
Last month, we had a look on how to setup the Kinect on a linux (Ubuntu) machine (if you missed it, you can find it here) . Today, we will continue exploring the Kinect possibilities by using the device in a program written in Qt. We will first design a class that will be our interface […]
Using CMake with Qt 5 The basics of a powerful build system alternative to QMake
CMake is a buildsystem generator developed in the open, and widely used for Qt based development. Especially when creating large or complex software, CMake can be more suitable to use than QMake. KDE was even the tipping point for the popularity of CMake in general, and with Qt 4 in particular, according to Bill Hoffman. […]
