[Ktechlab-devel] Porting to Qt 4 --> I'd like to help

[Richard Rondu]

did you took a look at those mailing lists threads?

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=200902080304.15219.julian@svg4all.de&forum_name=ktechlab-devel

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=498DD610.9030807@speakeasy.net&forum_name=ktechlab-devel

Might be useful for not going the wrong way.

Cheers,

Richard
