I’ve been interested in QT for Firefox for quite some time. The “official” discussion about this appears to have died around March. Does anybody know if the QT build is still being pursued or is it dead?
@pecosdave :
AFAIK it’s has been dead for some time , qt/nokia guys have i guess shifted there focus to webkit … cause it’s feature complete in comarison to qt-firefox and obviously stable
Well, that’s to bad, I would port it myself if I had any skill as a coder. Of course there’s not enough hours in a day as it, I would love to learn to code, but already diving into the industry sort of prevented that.
@pecosdava qt-firefox might be dead but still there is a UI toolkit working on mozilla firefox port called clutter ,you might wanna have a look on them
Clutter MozEmbed

Clutter is a GObject based UI Library , it uses OpenGl or Open Gl ES depending on platform and is supported by Intel

@pecosdava : even i had once tried to work on qt-firefox but well eventually gave up , specially considering the code to handle extension is not usable .. and gtk+/c to qt/c++ didn’t seemed so easy at that point on
So sad: The fact that also this project has died and the habit of so many OS-projects to just die without notifications. After all there was a large company (Nokia) involved.
We just google and post question until finally someone tells us “AFAIK it’s been dead for some time”.
Then again, so many great project starts without formal agreements and notifications. So, maybe we just have to accept that these also disappear quietly…
@davep : well it’s all open source ,so technically it’s never dead :P..eventually someone would surely take over the project :)
Sounds great…
But does anyone ever tryed to build on non-x86 system ?
(such as SoC like SigmaDesign, ST…?)
