When you say 'translate', do you mean port? I'm not sure what QT designer of Kdeveloper are or even if they are available on OS/2.

There seemed to be several versions of it around the last time I looked. BTW is there anything like a list of apps which use pthreads? > Kind Regards, > knut > -- John **= Email 6 ==========================** Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2005 09:31:55 -0700 From: Brendan Oakley Subject: Re: OS/2 Ports In that case I would have thought as a courtesy he might have given someone word. Any number of us, including myself, would have been willing to renew the domain and host the files. I think more likely Ian is right to be concerned about him personally.

Anyone else know? AFAIK, everything involving QT is problematic on OS/2. There's a port of GTK-2.6, though, so most GTK+ based apps should compile 6 work on OS/2 (using some X server like XFree or HOBlink).

Anyone else know? Qt Designer is a graphical tool to create Qt GUIs with drag & drop. It can also export some source code which you can build into your program. I haven't understood exactly, too, what the original question was about. Qt is a difficult business on OS/2, AFAIK. However, I haven't dealt with Qt on OS/2, yet.

Anyone else know? They both require QT, which has not been ported to OS/2. I think there is a port for XFree86/OS2, though, which means those tools could potentially be ported to XFree86/OS2 as well. **= Email 10 ==========================** Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2005 14:04:01 -0700 From: Brendan Oakley Subject: Re: question He wants a program to act as a front-end to multiple-language support management in development on OS/2, where he opens a file in one (human) language and translates it in another frame to be saved for use in that language. **= Email 11 ==========================** Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2005 18:17:49 -0800 From: "Dave Yeo" Subject: Re: question On Tue, 23 Aug 2005 11:21:40 -0700 (PDT), Steve Wendt wrote: >On Tue, 23 Aug 2005, John Poltorak wrote: > >> I'm not sure what QT designer of Kdeveloper are or even if they are >> available on OS/2.

The QT port is very old and I doubt it could be used for anything recent.

The GTK-2.6 still needs some work related to threading support. Right now it is compiled without threads and the compile gives warnings about it not being thread safe. Also I was trying to compile it (with gcc3.3.5) and it wouldn't compile here, another case of only compiling under certain enviroments.

My mistake, I meant glib-2.6 which GTK-2.6 depends on. Dave
