just trying to tell that the Pi can do more than expected graphically.

It is possible to use the Pi for learning Qt Creator and I tested some examples already. Of course it's not as fast as my PC ;-)

Quite understandable: Java vs. c++ comparison :) QtC is faster on standard PCs, too. Although, of course, both applications are too different to be compared.

I found a Youtube video showing a working Qt Creator on the Pi

Check it yourself. It looks rather smooth so I decided to try it out myself.
As a result Qt Creator is smoother than LibreOffice writer on the Pi.

Have a look at the "tutorial":https://qt-project.org/wiki/apt-get_Qt4_on_the_Raspberry_Pi I made. I hope lots of people that want to start programming discover Qt this way. Isn’t that the goal of the Raspberry Pi after all?

I installed libreoffice on the Pi and it was not that fast. So I think you are right, it will be too slow. Deployment from PC is the way to follow.

Yes, those images are the old ones I found already.

I already installed the qt50-snapshot and will try deploying a test program on the Pi.

the Pi is fun!

1. If i understand the current status, we are supposed to program on a pc and deploy to the pi. Is that right?
2. I was hoping to program with Qt Creator on the Pi directly. Is that possible?[/quote]

Honestly I haven't tried to run Qt Creator on Raspberry Pi. But based on my experience with the GUI on my Pi I guess it will run very very slow :)

3) there is no qtonpi image available that i'm aware of. Or did I miss it? I only found a very old one. I guess I'll have to compile Qt.

There is a QtonPi distro but it is outdated and it seems that it is not recommended by Raspberry Pi Foundation any more. "Details are available at our wiki":http://qt-project.org/wiki/Download. "You can download the images from raspberrypi.org":http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/images/qtonpi/

It has been an amazing journey last week:
Raspbian and Raspbmc are great and totally fun. How easy to install an image!

But still no Qt yet. And that is my main goal.

Any hints to the above remarks/questions are more than welcome.

[quote author="sierdzio" date="1354801274"]Good news, thanks. I'm thinking about investing in a Raspberry, too.[/quote]

Don't hesitate to get a Raspberry Pi. It is a fantastic gadget :)

I hope we can create some Qt Momentum on the Pi here and exchange ideas and tips!
