Using CopperSpice so can use non-UI libs that depend on QT?
Posted: Sat Dec 19 2015 1:14 pm
Hi, there's some C++ non-UI libs out there that I'd like to use, but that frustratingly (for a non-QT developer) depend on small bits of QT (say for networking and such, or just bizarrely coz they chose to use classes like QT's string class rather than the STL equivalents). And given that QT is such a huge monolithic you-have-to-be-fully-in-the-QT-world-and-use-its-pre-processor-thing thing, I've always avoided them.
I was wondering if CopperSpice would finally allow relatively simple + 'lightweight' use of such libs, without forcing one fully into the QT world etc? If so, that would seem a worthwhile use-case for CopperSpice to promote.
Another question is - with plugins for QT, does CopperSpice generally 'just work' automatically, or one has to convert them (and if the latter, is there some kind of repo of converted plugins / process)? It may be that my understanding of the QT world is so bad that this question makes little sense, if so, please ignore ....
In any case, really excited to see the existence CopperSpice, and hope it really grows in the future ....
