for cross-compiling - required so many hard code hacks to make it build
properly I don't think I ever want to try sustaining
that.
Daniel, I'm very new on ros-users, so please excuse my lack of background. I
promise, I'll catch up. :)
Are you talking about Nokia's Qt library?
If yes, then Qt library was build specifically for ease of cross-compiling.
It should be very easy to cross-compile. It's just not obvious how to do it.
They actually compile it by default with mingw. So I just confused by your
statement.

I know several projects (including infamous VLC media player) that switched
from wxwindows
