Programming a timer in QT4 under Kubuntu 9.04 Part 1

[Antanas32]

Cool program. I will try it to install on my Ubuntu 11.10

I'm used to just using a text editor to make my gui applications in GNOME particularly in C< and C++, I don't see why you need 3 different programs for KDE is there a way where I can just use a text editor to design my gui interface, and then the application??? (Sorry I'm completely new to KDE,)

[linuxrobotdude]

@mikethedj4 QT Creator (bundled with the SDK or from synaptic) is the best IDE available to QT (and KDE) programmers. You can install the KDE extensions to use the KDE specific gui controls but it has the c++ ide with the class explorer(shows the possible functions in a tooltop), GUI designer (just drag and drop like Visual Studio), the help docs are integrated and you can search for help from your code too. I don't know if it was available when I made this video.

@linuxrobotdude lol I just found QtCreator like 30 minutes ago, and worked perfectly for me. Thanks anyway though!

man the sound is messed up. its gotten alot better tho i've seen some horrble dsynched videos on KDE. Eek. :s Thanks for the video btw i understood most of what you said so its good. I wont be a douche and thumb u down for it. Long Live Linux. :D

What is that program you used to open up the source code?

[linuxrobotdude]

@nickrohn93 I'm using QDevelop. However QTCreator is better I found out know, the documentation is built into the IDE.

well that's not gonna happen over here, QT4 keeps on giving this error: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

It happens on every project, even the examples and i'm to new to know what's wrong

[linuxrobotdude]

That error means that the linker can't find the objects to some of the functions used. If you post the output I can help. And I thought I posted this message a while ago - guess it did not go through

[pieplay]

found the solution, the program I was using was QT4 - nokia, general bin instal for linux. I went to the software screen and downloaded Q develop en K dev and it worked like a charm. probably had something to do with the fact that i'm using a less common linux distro linux mint (ubuntu based)

[linuxrobotdude]

Good to hear.

[SneakyTweaky]

M8 I'm so lucky I found some tut. with QT because I'm downloading it now and I hope it will be not to much dificult to make simple app for linux and windows too. I suscribe to you :)

5 stars here.

Good tutorial but that most be the worst system theme I've ever seen! And KDE is so over designed!

I kind like qDevelop - it has some nice features - but QCreator is better.

I haven't used it, thanks for mentioning it. The window fragments are not actually there but I guess thats what I get for using an older desktop recorder.
