FlightGear Qt launcher: Difference between revisions

   |There's been a strong devision of opinion among a couple of core developers with respect to the question whether a QT dependency is desirable or not. In one of the hangouts, a couple of months ago, we had the chance to discuss the pros and cons, when the most outspoken developers regarding this issue were both present. We concluded that a QT dependency was undesirable, unless it had a specific benefit. With this in mind, I proposed to consider the option of allowing a QT dependency in only one module (call it FGGui). For all practical purposes, this would be a platform independent replacement of fgrun, but because of the proposed modularity, it will appear to be seamlessly integrated with FlightGear. Both developers representing the opposite ends of the debate could live with this compromise.
