Cross-Platform Development For Windows and OS X

An anonymous reader writes to let us know about an article in RegDeveloper detailing the use of Qt, Trolltech's cross-platform C++ toolkit, for development across Windows and Mac OS X. From the article: "QT not only goes across desktops but onto embedded devices as well. So any app you write with Qt will port to an embedded device with a frame buffer running Trolltech's embedded version of QT, called QtopiaCore."

wxWindows

[also-rr]

I have been doing cross platform development with wxWindows and I have to say it makes it easy. So far I have an application which crashes with exactly the same fault* on Windows, OSX *and* Linux! You just can't buy productivity like that with commercial development frameworks. *Error 5: Developer is an idiot who hasn't programmed much since the BBC Master was cutting edge technology.

Qtopia?

How Qt.

It is QuickTime, not Quicktime.

My pedantry is bigger than yours.

He probably was referring to the KDE/Gnome flamewars that erupt on slashdot occassionaly. Evenyone knows those arguments are nonsense as Gnome is clearly inferior to KDE in every respect, apart from its gname.

Re:Better alternative

>Another advantage of wxWidgets is its ease porting from MFC due to its similarity.

That statement by itself is good enough of a reason to discard wxWidgets as a possible alternative for cross-platform development.
