I need to know two things:- 1) how to build the same project in two or more different environments, starting with Linux/KDE and XP. I've so far had a play with writing a small Qt application in kdevelop, but kdevelop so far as I know won't run under XP but Eclipse does. So I'm guessing that the way to go will be to use Eclipse with gcc under Linux, and Eclipse with the gcc provided by cygwin under XP. Am I correct? If so I'm interested in some educational resources to find out how to do it.
If you're using Qt, you should probably be using Designer and qmake.
2) what interface to use in future. The serial cable is going to have to be replaced. I have two suggestions so far, USB and Ethernet. Again, I've not used either yet so I'm looking for suggestions.
Why not write an interface abstraction layer so the code is easily extensible to whatever interace you have to use. -- Jiann-Ming Su "I have to decide between two equally frightening options.
