Licence restrictions to the educational version of Qt (3.2.2) may mean that I can do the compilation, but it will rely on users having the correct dll rather than letting me package it up for general users.

Early indications are promising.. screenshots soon...

I'll be happy to provide compilation testing

>>> Salford seems to want a Windows version and to pay Paul to do the hard yards.

Ooh! A full-blown Gnome port with HIG 2 compliance, integration with Gimp and Inkscape? How about a Blender-style fund to release Scribus from its QT shackles! First hundred bucks is on me ;)

It looks, like the whole "windows port" issue was terminated by Paul's employers:

Another interesting post - http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/pipermail/scribus/2004-September/006436.html

But AFAIR QT 3.2.1 wouldn't be the ideal solution...

And the article mentioned by Kevin www.smallbizmac.com/qt/installing-qt-on-windows.html is worth reading, too: "It is worth the effort to install the Qt Windows non-commercial version, as it opens up the Windows platform to open-source Qt programs. (In fact, the non-commercial license requires you to make your applications available under a standard open-source license if you redistribute them.)"

Does this new announcement about QT4 for Windows being dual-licensed help with producing a Windows port that will work without requiring users to download other software (like a QT .dll)?

Regarding Qt4, anybody reading this bug should probably read:

Is pjohnson still working on it?

scribusdev.blogspot.com doesn't really provide useful info about the port status, nor anything to see like screen shots, test builds, etc.

Reminder sent to: jghali

Jean, I thought this bug might be of interest to you, so I'm adding you to the notify list for it.

considering the latest acceleration on the windows port front, this feature request is a clear candidate for reassignment to jghali, don't you think?

Reassigned as per ML discussion. Thanks for the work so far to both Jean and Paul.
