Re: [platform-swt-dev] Starting point for new port
|
Qt is the only C++ port so far. I would recommend looking at multiple ports
rather than picking just one. The ones that will help you the most are
probably the Motif, Photon, and GTK ports. I found while implementing our
internal Qt port that you really need to look at two or three other
implementations to get things right.
