[ros-users] communicating with windows

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'd be interested to see how hard it is to cross-compile wxwidgets with
mingw.

>From what I keep hearing from other developers, Qt is a much nicer library
then wxwidgets.

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

to Qt and never looked back.



Is there something specific I can help with?
