Yet another QT with Dev-C++ question

[Steven Boothe]

Okay I have been searching both the KDE-cygwin / dev-cpp-usersarchives, 
and their respective forums, and all I can turn up is the following 
answer made over a year and a half ago:

However to the contrary what questions I have found are in such a 
significant number that they could merit this issue as its' own entry in 
the FAQ's.

So in the interest of writing such an FAQ, as well as my desire to put 
together a properly documented how-to, can anyone please comment as to 
whether the status of integrating QT with Dev-C++ has improved at all? 
And if so, how to go about doing such a thing?

This would be of special interest in light of yesterdays announcement by 
TrollTech to dual license the upcoming QT4 for Windows so as to be GPL'd 
for non-commercial use. In addition, the folks over at KDE-cygwin have 
also nearly completed their own port of the GPL'd QT3 to windows as well.

So all of this begs the big question: Is there a way to finally 
integrate QT with Dev-C++ so as to provide those interested in 
developing GPL'd cross-platform apps with QT an opportunity to do so 
with the benefit of not having to spend the money to go out and pay for 
an expensive IDE just to write GPL'd code?

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
