I had three options to have QT applications working on my office PC.
(1) Install MingW and have it live peacefully with Cygwin, then use MingW to compile QT.
(2) Try to compile QT with just Cygwin.
(3) Login to company linux server, run QT apps there, export the display from there. On Windows PC run Cygwin/X.
I had already exhausted options (1) and (2). I spent a lot of time on that. And while working on (3) I corrupted my existing Cygwin which we need to compile my offical project :). So I logged call for IT ops to reinstall Cygwin. I would also see if they can install Cygwin/X for me. If that happens then I would just have to take care of installing QT in my linux home directory and wow!
Meanwhile I searched google for some other free X-server for windows and I got a link where it was mentioned that there is X-Server called X-Deep which is free. But when I went to their site it was mentioned that Free version is no longer there! I installed 15 days trial period! So now first hurdle is gone at least for next 15 days I can run my xserver and may be even QT applications! Now let me try to install QT in my home directory!
Lets see what happens.
Meanwhile I have also started learning QT. Going through world of Signals, Slots and Widgets. Coming weekend is a big weekend so am hoping that I would at least be able to make some simple programs in QT once this weekend is over! Amen!
Also I am uploading my remaining photos on photos.yahoo.com. Great to see the technology advancement. I am planning to take backup of my entire photos on yahoo photos. So they are kind of permanent.
