Hi Niki,

The QT version that I'm talking about is the GPL'ed version of QT 3.x.x
that has been ported to run on Windows. I believe this port was started
by the KDE developers, but please don't quote me on that! This port is
*not* from Trolltech. Using this port (along with MinGW) you can
compile QT 3.x.x on a Windows machine and wind up with a GPL'ed version
of QT running on Windows.

You will need to have MinGW or an MS compiler installed on your machine
to do this. I don't know if binaries are available. I compiled
everything from source using MinGW.

Here are some links that you can check out:
