    hi!
    the description of this program sounds very interesting,
    but i've got problems in the 1st step. "configure"
    says, there was something missing:
    .........
    checking for KDE... configure: error:
    in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
    So, check this please and use another prefix!
    ..........
    i'm actually using SuSE8.0 (Linux 2.4.18-64GB-SMP #1 SMP)

    here is another extraction from the config.log.
    ---------------------- snip ----------------------------
    /usr/i486-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt
    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
    configure: failed program was:
    #include "confdefs.h"
    #include <qglobal.h>
    #include <qapplication.h>
    #include <qobjcoll.h>

    #if ! (QT_VERSION >= 142)
    #error 1
    #endif

    int main() {
        return 0;
    }
    configure:3480: checking for moc
    configure:3570: checking for rpath
    configure:3600: checking for bool
    configure:3620: g++ -c -O2  conftest.C 1>&5
    configure:3644: checking for KDE
    ---------------------- snip ----------------------------

    maybe you can help me? is there an homepage or another community-forum out there?

    thanx in advance
    eric

      Well...

         For starters, the original/current code is meant for KDE/Qt 1.x, so regardless of
      whether it can find -lqt or not, SuSE 8.x (with KDE 3.x, 2.4.x kernel, etc.) won't compile
      at all.  I just recently went through the "exercise" of porting SampLin 1.5.2 to run under
      KDE 2.x on Slackware 7.x (and it may even work under 3.x but I haven't tried it yet since
      I haven't upgraded to Slackware 8.1/KDE 3.x yet).  It was my first exposure to working
      with KDE, and thought it an interesting project to get my feet wet, with the end result
      being code I could use to drive a bunch of GPIB test equipment I have on hand.

         The UI and built-in language are very easy to use and with C++ source available, it's
      easy to extend as I see fit.  I haven't tried it with my National Instruments GPIB card yet,
      but will do so time permitting within the next few weeks.  If you're interested, I could
      simply tar up the code I have and you're welcome to see if it compiles for you as well.
      Either that or wait until I upgrade to KDE 3.x, check if THAT works, and then try to
      get the code checked into CVS here (though I don't know if I can check-in code here or
      not - 1.5.3 anyone? :) ).

      Hi Guy,
         I am very interested in experimenting with your updated code. Are you using a development environment like kylix or or just vi (or emacs)  ??
