Trolltech Releases Alpha Version of Qt for Mac OS X Using Cocoa — Trolltech

Trolltech has released an alpha version of Qt 4.4 based on Cocoa, Apple's native Mac interface inherited from the NeXT operating system and based on Objective-C (presently, Qt is based on Carbon, inherited from the old Mac and written in C). This will enable the production of 64-bit applications with Qt on the Mac; Carbon itself has not been ported to the new 64-bit Mac Intel architecture. Both open-source and commercial downloads are available from the link above; although this is an alpha of Qt 4.4, final delivery of Cocoa-based Qt will be with Qt 4.5.
