Question: Programming Processes in C++ using Qt or GTK?

[rodriguezjesus609]

Hello there, I need to do some programming in C++ using Qt or Gtk, I'm looking for information about this topic but it is kind of hard. It's about processes in Linux and how to use this processes with Qt or Gtk.

First of all I use Ubuntu 10.04 and I understood that if I use GNOME (Which I do use) then I will have to use GTK. Nevertheless I could install KDE if you guys tell me to.

If you know about a tutorial for programming processes in Linux please give me the adress and I'll read it for sure.

I know that its pretty hard to combine a C++ program with a Qt or GTK program, so any information about this topic will help for sure.

Thanks for reading
Sincerely, Jesus R.

You would only use GNOME libraries or KDE libraries if you wish to integrate into those desktops. Regardless, they're still cross-platform anyways (KDE applications can work on a GNOME desktop...). If you don't care about integration then just use Qt and Gtk directly (or some other toolkit like wxWidgets). Also, as far as I know, the only ones that use X11 directly are GTK+ and wxWidgets (which has both an X11 and GTK+ implementation).
