Hello Stefan and Galina, Let me answer some your "legal" questions: > I found the QtRoot website at http://root.bnl.gov , however the contents of > this website are quite confusing to me. > I am sorry; I'll try to make it less confusing. Can you provide me your "edition" :-) > I have some questions regarding QtRoot, hopefully someone can answer them. > > 1. On the Qt website I learned that there is a commercial version of Qt > and > a GPL version of Qt. Is it possible to use the GPL version of Qt as > library > needed for QtRoot? There is no license problem for any X11 platform. One should care about the developer license for Win32 edition only. This is what I tried to explain: http://root.bnl.gov/QtRoot/QtRoot.html#free All version of Qt is free for X11 platforms. See: http://www.trolltech.com/download/qt/x11.html This means one can use (and I do use) Qt on Solaris with no problem to create the free software. > > 2. Does anyone know whether the QtDesigner is included in the GPL version > ? Yes, it is included. The version http://www.trolltech.com/download/qt/x11.html is the FULL Qt- version. It contains almost everything the commercial version has. The difference is the license only. > 3. Is there a Qt/Free version for Solaris 2.6 ? You can install X11 version on Solaris http://www.trolltech.com/download/qt/x11.html I'd like to call your attention the compilation of the Qt share libraries takes some significant time. > 4. Is there a howto-manual in order to get Qt and QtRoot to work under > Solaris 2.6 ? I've posted it. So far I found no special problem for Solaris. I'll add the ADS address of the Solaris version of Qt-edition of ROOT later. > 5. Is there someone who is working with QtRoot on Solaris 2.6 ? Yes, The Solaris is the official platform of STAR experiment. Qt-version is the official ROOT version. We do build Qt and Qt-edition of ROOT for Solaris. Please try. Please don't hesitate to forward me any (tiny) problem you may have faced. Don't waste your time, don't fight it alone. > I can imagine some of these questions are simple ones, please excuse.
