Ahh...thanks.

Well, we are looking for IDE with good Qt support.

I'm still doubtful that QtD might get decent support in C:B.

Even Qt C++ support is lacking, afaict.

Right...and we want that.

Today one guy from Qt (andre) showed me about out-of-the-box 'support'
for D: http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/9484/86764766.png

I've also found the following blog post:

http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2010/09/16/generic-highlighter-in-qt-creator/

It looks as inspiring start for (Qt)D programming.

Anders> "D.dev" is not open source, either*. 

Ohh, another reason not to count on it.

Anders> I said I would push those patches, but not upstream no.

You think they wouldn't be accepted?

Anders> To http://gitorious.org/~afb (qmake and qtcreator hacks).

OK.

See then the above link about syntax high. via Kate's syntax files in
2.1 trunk of QtC.

Anders> All of that is still left as an exercise for the D2 reader.
Anders> I am *not* going to be working on it, as I'm not using it...

You're not using any GUI with D or using Codeblocks or ..?


Sincerely,
