PyQt On A Windows CE Computer Possible?
-
Hi and welcome to devnet,
AFAIK, there's no official port of Python for that platform. Since you also mention
low powered, it's definitely a vote for C++. -
PyQt has nothing to do with that. Python itself is not there.

Hi
if you are used to Python + PyQt then c++ wont look that different as im no
python user at all, but i can still read most PYQt code directly so i think its a
huge plus compared to learning c# and its GUI framework.@mrjj said in PyQt On A Windows CE Computer Possible?:

Are you saying you do or do not have experience with Qt versus Microsoft frameworks? -

Hi
My point was that the opposite should also apply. Seeing c++
samples should also read a bit like Python version. ( with a lots of Self thrown in)@mrjj
And hi to you too!
My point is: I find writing in Python is quite a bit different from C++. It's not a problem understanding other language examples, it's choosing which language you write the code in.
OP said:I have more experience in Python and Java than in C++ which is why and wanted to avoid C++.

Yeah i assume for all the non Qt stuff , it will be very different.
Python would be his best bet but seems the CE python is very old.

A coworker recommended Qt as he has worked with it a lot, but I just don't know how to get it to compile to a Windows 7 Embedded target. I am still trying to get a simple Qt example to compile and run on Windows 7 Embedded and can't seem to find the right compiler in Qt Creator. Also, Visual Studio 2008 Professional is not easy to find.

Did you install any compiler? QtCreator should auto-detect MS compilers. You can check in QtCreator in "Tools/Options.../Build & Run/Compilers".
To build Qt you do not need QtCreator. -

The executable worked once I put a bunch of dlls and the include folder in the same folder as the release folder that I copied to a flashdrive. I used the Desktop Qt 5.6.3 minGW 32bit2 kit, but I don't know the specifics of compiling to a target system that the application wasn't built on. And I have zero experience with Qt, which makes me even more lost.
