- gcr 13y agoGTK+ has also worked fine on Windows for ages with support for native Windows widgets.
- mpyne 13y agoI'm well aware of where Qt has (and has not) been able to run. What I'm saying is that it's a lot easier to make new ports now than it was back then. This was mostly driven by Nokia's requirements, but it's still useful in the context of making a version that would run on Mir.
