Hi all,

before starting from scratch, and falling in the same pitfalls someone else has already learned how to avoid, is there anyone who's already successfully managed to use the Qt WS on Rasbian for a Rapberry PI 3?

Thanks in advance for any hint.

When you say "WS" what specifically do you mean? I've run the Qt IDE and programs compiled for Qt on Raspbian on occasion, and apart from the usual problems of element spacing being slightly adrift etc. have had no significant issues that wouldn't be expected on a PC... noting obviously the current problems that somebody has with VNC, which I don't think is really a Raspbian issue.

Something like two or maybe three years ago I tried to graft KDE onto Raspbian and it wasn't entirely successful, but there were other factors involved (e.g. a 4K screen which was pushing the graphics capability at the time). Most of the time we run a hybrid of the Raspbian kernel and Debian apps etc., to a variety of 1080p and 4K screens.

I was meaning compiling (or cross-compiling from) and running Lazarus applications using the Qt widgetset. From your reply I gather that you've been successful with Qt designer, and that's already a good starting point.
Now I'll try to cope with Qt bindings for Lazarus. If I stumble into issues I'll ask again for support.
For the moment many thanks for your feedback.
