Hi,

I wrote an article on the subject at http://broija.blogspot.com/.

For the moment, it explains only how to do so on Linux but I'll add a tutorial for Windows soon.

Could you comment about the potential uses for this software?

STL is powerful but is often not sufficient. Qt is a great C++ API which propose plenty of tools (network, multithread, XML, ...).

The signal/slot mechanism is quite intersting. It allows you to do the same thing as function pointers and functors (except that you can't return anything from a signal) in an easy and pretty way.

The thread classes and methods are quite easy to use too.

The main reason that led me to compile it for the EV3 was to use a TCP/IP server class without reinventing the wheel. I wanted to command the EV3 remotely with an Android device. Of course, I could have used netcat to listen and redirect its output to my program but that seemed quite twisted.

I would say that if you want to code something and you know that it has probably been done before, then Qt is probably doing it already.

Regards,

It would be great if you could make it work with the standard framebuffer device (/dev/fb0) on the EV3 brick.
