Qt installation

[jay]

Dear all,

can any one please tell me, should the Qt is installation in Linux needs X11?

Thanks in advance.

I am using Slackware linux and Qt4.3.0(open source).

Regards,
Jay.

It's called Qt4/X11 - so yes. But QtCore, xml and network don't need X11.

Thank you for your reply.

I need to use QtGui classes like QImage in my application.
up to my knowledge, this is not possible when using QtCore.

please suggest any other way to do.

What should I suggest?
Do you have X11 installed but you'll create a console-only app or don't you have X11 installed? If it's installed you can also use some of the QtGui-classes without the need for a QApplication. If X11 is not installed you can't compile and use QtGui.

X11 is installed in my system. I am running a sample which uses QApplication and QImage without startiing X.

so in deployment do I need to distribute X11 libraries also(if the target system doesn't contain X11)?

[ChristianEhrlicher]

I answered this already... QtGui depends on X11 so you'll likely need X11 libs.

Thank you so much for your patient hearing.

What is the purpose/reason in developing a GUI application for a system without GUI support?(even with supplying all the necessary X11 libs)
