Re: Qt5 versions in Ubuntu (Re: [Freetype-devel] Re: compilation of `ftinspect` fails)

[Vincent Torri]

hello

you should have used the EFL toolkit

 * C code
 * no problem with versions
 * separate C logic from UI (with one C code, you can have several UI,
like one for desktop, one for smartphone, etc...)

examples of EFL usage:

but i don't think you will switch to the EFL :-)
