Qt3 on Windows?


I need to port one of my old program to Windows. The current version uses Qt 3 on Linux. I'd like to see it within few days only to do some tests.

Instead of porting my code on Qt 4 (no time now), is it possible to recompile on Windows with Qt 3? Do I also need minGW? Which problems may I have doing this porting?

I can't find Qt 3 for windows, can someone give me a link? or I can use the same qt source I use on Linux?


Solution

  • QT4 still has back-compatible QT3 classes, prefixed with Q3* (see http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qt3support.html)

    You should be able to compile & run you QT3 app on QT4 via those classes with minimal adaptations.
