Hello folks,
There were several complains about troubles to access our cvs repository.
I've prepared and uploaded zip and tar file as well.
Please read http://www.usatlas.bnl.gov/~fine/QtRoot/QtRoot.html#source
carefully first, It is not yet alpha-release.
The code based on Qt packages and binary are provided for your evaluation
only under QPL (Q Public license)
No guaranty that the interfaces and approaches this code exposes
will be preserved with the next releases
However the binary does contain the regular ROOT too.
(read http://www.usatlas.bnl.gov/~fine/QtRoot/QtRoot.html#switch )
On other hand the binary does contain the regular production ROOT version for Windows
platform , namely http://root.cern.ch/root/htmldoc/examples/Version302.news.html.
We introduced no extra constrain beyond http://root.cern.ch/root/License.html
One has to set QTDIR env variable to turn the QT evaluation ON.
If you want to keep this version as your regular ROOT version you may choose to
remove %ROOTSYS%/bin/libQt.DLL file. It should make no harm.
Best regards, Valeri
