qTwitter

[ayoy]

qTwitter is a Qt client for Twitter social networking service. Current version is 0.3.1, and it seems working quite well . More info is available here and the code is available here.

It's my first publically released app, and I really do appreciate any kind of feedback on it.

Thanks,
Dominik

How can i get the code??

Hey!

Thanks for the feedback. It happens sometimes that github fails... The simplest solution is to give it a try once again in some time. Or you can use the clone command directly:

git clone git://github.com/ayoy/qtwitter.git

or just download the source code package from qt-apps.org, but this is the latest release version (0.5.0), and a lot has changed since then

i have signed up to qit. but its completely new to me.

can you explain how to clone your code?

I need to know how to handle http request as i am also working on a project that can talk to a API. can you give tell me how to do that?

I would be grateful to ur help.

thanks

Sure, if you want to use git, first install it, and then use the command I provided in a previous post:

git clone git://github.com/ayoy/qtwitter.git

This command will create a directory called qtwitter and put the source code inside. That's all Since github.com seems to be working fine now, you can skip the whole git thing and just download the sources using the "download" button at http://github.com/ayoy/qtwitter/tree/master.

Take a look at the twitterapi directory. It contains all the classes responsible for contacting with Twitter and parsing the response. Should you come up with any problems, don't hesitate to contact me here or via private message.
And sorry, but for the moment we speak I don't recommend generating and reading the doxygen documentation for my project, since I changed a lot in API interaction section during the previous week and now I have to revise the documentation and I'm going to do it soon

thanks for replying.

git is still isnt working for me

I will try the other method then.

I wanted to ask as to how did you built a static application?

Whenever build a app and run it in a diff system, it asks for a lot of dll's( i use win XP)

I tried CONFIG +=static

but it didnot improve.

[ayoy]

As for qTwitter, for the most fresh, trunk version of code I don't actually create a static builds at all, because I'm switching to LGPL. For 0.5.0, available here, in the source code's main directory there is a patch that you need to apply before running qmake. It just uncomments two lines in project file that specify plugins that are used, and then 2 lines in main.cpp that load those plugins. Provided that you have a statically linked Qt installed, everything should work fine after applying the patch.

But in general, CONFIG += static is not required here as it's suitable only for building libraries. And important note for Windows and MinGW - make sure that you follow the instructions from wiki: [WIKI]Building_static_applications[/WIKI] and [WIKI]Building_static_Qt_on_Windows[/WIKI]. If you use MinGW, you have to edit mkspecs file in order to make your applications independent of MinGW dlls.
