A picture says a thousand words:

QtNX on Windows

OK, so I cheated a little and this is actually using the Cygwin packaged XWin server, but it’s a significant step. Now I just need to write a few functions to invoke NXWin.exe and setup the relevant Xauthority file, then it should be pretty much finished!

Sounds great :)

I suppose it’s too early, but will there be binaries in the future? I must say i have not checked if in there is any section in svn containing them…

And thanks a lot for your prompt reply!

This is all working perfectly with NX 3 servers. As for portable program… yesterday I committed code to nxcl that autodetects what platform you’re on and sets #defines accordingly, so that the code should just compile and work on OS X, Windows and Linux.

I have yet to commit code that makes QtNX work on Win32 though.

Hey George this looks fantastic… and it has not yet been a month since you decided to work on nx again!

Is this new QtNX version compatible with version 3 of the server? Is it difficult to turn this into a “portable client”?

Very exciting… if you need any support testing, just let us know in your blog!

Cheers

Other GNOME apps? The GNOME session you see there is a remote session to a server running CentOS. The client is my Qt-based NX client “QtNX”.

Wow. This looks nice. Does that mean that all the other gnome apps also run fine on Windows? What is the GNOME Version?
