[Qt-iphone-developer] Non-gui usage

[James T. <ja...@bu...>]

Hi, I'm evaluating qt-iphone as way to get some existing Qt backend code running on the iPhone; currently I have to maintain a separate code base for the iPhone, always painful.

I'm not interested in the widgets - what I need is XML, QtCore and QtNetwork to work reliably - especially threads and timers, and the QNetworkAccessManager classes. I also use the QNetworkInterface code, which I guess might be problem area - I know 4.7 adds QNetworkConfiguration which might need to expose the P2P networking aspects (3G vs Wifi connection) but right now I could live with only 4.6 features.

It sounds from the web pages as if XML and QtCore have been working for a long time, and widgets are in progress - is this correct? I see a 4.6-stable branch on Gitorious, but all the recent commits are on the 4.7-iphone branch, so which one should give me the best results for what I need?

Are the build instructions here: http://www.qt-iphone.com/FAQS.html still valid? I generally use the iOS 4.0 SDK at the moment, but those instructions refer to the 3.0 SDK.

Regards,
James
