[Kde-bindings] RE: KDE.NET

[Marcus]

I'm not sure what Adam thinks because I rarely talk to him these days. Last 
time I talked to him, he was involved in some compiler projects. Since you 
CC'd him, your chances of hearing from him are as good as mine. :-)

I really do not know how to use autotools and libtool, so I do not know how to 
make Qt# work within kdebindings. Someone would have to help me with that. 
Also, some people interested in Qt# do not want to install KDE, and 
kdebindings would not configure without KDE installed. Those were the main 
problems.

I'm working on something that creates an equivalent to QtC in a modular 
fashion, so that it could work in a 'compatibility mode' to create something 
binary compatible to QtC or something else. It is not limited to Qt/KDE, but 
would be able to generate glue code for any C++ library. It's just not quite 
ready yet. I'm very slow. Sorry.

What would really help is a Linux equivalent of MS MC++ :-(
