    Basic for Qt®

    What is it?

    Basic For Qt® is related to VB.NET™ and Visual Basic® and combines the best features of those tools and supports similar syntax, functions, objects and classes. It is an open source project backed by years of continual development. The project is under active development and has a vibrant community.

    Development tools included: Compiler, IDE, Runtime, Qt Designer

    It is a full featured object-oriented language, which supports the best modern programming techniches known with well designed objects, events and plenty of documentation. Almost the entire API is the same on all platforms. Basic For Qt® is available in English.

    Cross-Platform: Create modern applications in zero time

    Basic For Qt® uses Qt® as its toolkit to provide cross-platform abilities. Qt® is the best C++ cross-platform toolkit available and Basic For Qt® is the easiest way to get cross-platform development without the needs to learn C++ as it combines the expressive power of C++ with the familiarity and ease of use of Visual Basic®. The Qt® API and tools are consistent across all supported platforms, enabling platform independent application development and deployment. Windows®, Linux® and Mac® OS X are supported platforms.

    Basic For Qt® is continuing to develop as the default BASIC programming language to develop Qt® applications for the three major platforms. So be sure to check out the newest versions in future.


    Qt®

    Since its commercial introduction in early 1996, Qt® has formed the basis of many thousands of successful applications worldwide. Qt® is also the basis of the popular KDE® Linux® desktop environment, a standard component of all major Linux® distributions. That means that the internal functions of Basic For Qt® use the high-quality Qt® library functions, which are the top of the art: fast, stable, bug-free and tested and used worldwide!

    Qt® is licensed under the LGPL as well, which means that you do not need a Qt license for commercial applications, if your applications applies to the terms of the LGPL, which will be fit in most circumstances.

    What does the name Basic For Qt® mean?

    Basic For Qt® (basic4Qt) actually means QtBasic, but QtBasic isn’t allowed at all, so Basic For Qt® is the best choice (you might know that it was named Q7Basic in the past and is still used as nickname [Q7Basic, Q7B]).

    Requirements

    Qt® libraries for Linux/X11®
    You need to have the free Qt® (>= Qt 4.7) on your development machine. The best way would be to install all available Qt packages including Qt Designer (and/or Qt Creator), the C++ compiler collection (gcc) and the phonon development library. Check out your distribution.


    GCC
    You need to have the free Open Source GCC C++ development tools on your development machine. Check out your distribution.


    License

    The Linux® version is free of charge for open source (GPL3) software.

    Non-listed Linux distributions are expected to work with Basic For Qt® as long you have installed the required Qt libraries and the phonon development library.

    For 64 bit Linux or BSDs you will need to download the source codes and compile it by yourself. But it is easy, as it can be done by run simple console commands.

    Source codes

    For all platforms

    If you need a different configuration (or different deployment),
    e.g. a 64 bit Linux or a 32 bit Mac, you can download and compile Basic For Qt® for yourself. It is easy, as it can be done by run simple console commands.

    HOW TO INSTALL: Use Qt Creator to open & build Basic For Qt®.pro and Q7BCompiler.pro OR do it by yourself by open your terminal. All console commands must be executed by you within the package directory. Go inside the package directory and type:

    qmake ./Q7Basic.pro
    make

    qmake ./Q7BCompiler.pro
    make

    BE WARNED THAT IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO GET COMPILED, because there are source files over 60,000 lines of code!

    Run the new created file Q7Basic (alias for Basic For Qt®).

    Be sure that you install Qt relelevant files before. If you install Qt Creator you can be sure that all required files are installed as well (the phonon development library is needed as well).
