    Using MS Windows PC but want to display on a Linux X Windows Server. Is this Posible?

    I am new to QT but wonder how I can develop an app to run on an XP PC but to route its displays to an X Windows Server.

    I guess that this might be posible with cigwin but I want to avoid this if posible.

    I need the equivelent of an x11 library to run under MS Windows and thus makeing my PC app an Xwindows client.

    Exceed is X server that runs on a Windows PC but they dont seem to support X Clients. Maybe because it is not Posible.

    Is QT a solution for this?

      No, it is not.

      I don't know if there exist any X-windows implementations for windows, which you can use to create apps that run as X - clients, I know none.

        Maybe "cygwin":http://www.cygwin.com can help you with that, and you can use the X11 tunneling for your purpose.

          Maybe "Xming":http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/ is what you're looking for?
