QKernelApplication
by Justin on Tuesday 26/Aug/2003, @10:22
Yes!! I have been waiting for the gui / non-gui separation. Finally, using Qt in server applications will become a real possibility. And yes I know of TinyQ, but it lacks QObject (and thus the event loop), which Qt 4 will have in the kernel portion. Good stuff!

You know you just have to pass false to the QApplications constructor to disable GUI, right?

    Yep, that's what I do now. The problem is that I still have to bag the whole Qt library, which requires X11 to compile and run, even if I don't use those parts.

How good would Qt be at, for example, developing a mail/calendaring/messaging server in? So instead of having Kroupware, which consists of a bunch of third-party servers, you could have a Qt-native groupware server sharing many of the same features supported by the client (Kontact).

It would seem Qt's networking support is pretty advanced based on the amount of different KIO protocols that have been developed...

    Should be good enough. Qt's networking support is indeed a weak spot, but it should be enough for TCP. Otherwise you could use thiagom's libqtaddon for this, or in the worst case the low-level socket api. And anyway, networking is just a tiny, almost negligible aspect of servers like that. TCP is trivial, the hard part is to implement the protocol and the data store.
