Programming a timer in QT4 under Kubuntu 9.04 Part 1

Part 1 of programming a simple timer in QT4 with QDevelop and QT4 Designer. It has an area for seconds, minutes, and hours. The language used is C++ on a Compaq Presario F730 w/ 4GB ram Kubuntu 9.04 64bit. For those who think the interface is cool, it was done on only a Geforce Go 6100 128MB

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,)

@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.

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.

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

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

[linuxrobotdude]

Good to hear.

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)

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
