Title: Will LCL ever support the TQT widgetset?
Post by: TCH on July 30, 2018, 11:15:51 pm
I've read that older Qt releases were not supported because of the license, but KDE3 and Qt3 was forked to TDE and TQt a long ago and it's now license compatible with Lazarus. Would it be a lot of work?

I'm not Lazarus developer, however TQt is very marginal framework, only a few Linux distros have Trinity in their repos. I guess developers are more focused on Cocoa (I can see effort there) and GTk4 is coming soon. Qt5 seems to be finished while GTk3 is liquid sand.

Yes it would be a lot of work, and probably even requires setting up a new (QT3/TQT) widgetset.

Trinity has optional repos for a lot of ditributions, you only have to add it.

Is there any tutorial about how can i make a new LCL backend for any widgetset?

No, this article is about how can i add another already made backend to my IDE. I meant a tutorial about what to do if i would like to make a new backend.
