linux IDEs for QT?

[bwheeler]

Hi,

I'm trying to get an understanding as to what my options are in developing with QT4 on linux. I see that QDevelop exists and may be a good possiblity. It appears that a very new (only days old) Eclipse plugin exists (sounds too new to be stable and useful for my needs).

It appears that KDevelop only works with QT3 (is that correct?).

Are there any other reasonable choices?

Thanks,

Bill

Certainly not! You can develop Qt4 applications without any problems, provided that you have a recent version.

As for other IDEs, check out Edyuk, QDevelop and Handcoder's IDE (see the Qt Software section for links).

New does not necessarily means unstable but on the other hand Eclipse means Java which implies everything is SLOOOW and consumes a big amount of memory...

It is built with KDE 3 which uses Qt 3 and supports Qt 3 very well. Though KDevelop is supposed to support Qt 4 as well it is known to be buggy and not a complete as what one could expect...

There are many other things left to try :

• Cobras (search in beesoft.org)
• QDevelop (but you know it already )
• Monkey Studio (http://monkeystudio.org)
• HiQt (see in Software section, even newer than QtClipse plugin ... )
• Edyuk (http://edyuk.org)

AFAIK that's all until know but as the things go there might be some newcomer within a month
