Anybody knows, project qtd (http://www.dsource.org/projects/qtd/) is alive or died? Last changes was one year ago. Tracking system contains critical bugs and nobody fixes. There may be other working bindings for Qt?

Hey, yes I haven't been working on QtD for quite some time now, and unfortunately no one else has picked up on it. I don't know of any other efforts made, and due to the big undertaking it would be wiser to build on what's there already...

Presumably the Qt5 release could be an impetus to restart active evolution of QtD? QtQuick doesn't really do it for me given QtDesigner, but…

I work in a biased sample set, but very few people I know would write Qt applications in C++, it's all PyQt4 and PySide with connection to C, C++ and Fortran to make use of computational frameworks. cf. SciPy.

Also it has to be noted that for all it's C++ horrible API, wxWidgets has a large mind share in the cross-platform GUIs arena, especially given wxPython and wxGlade.

This all depends on enough people feeling the need to scratch their related itch – my own little projects using QtD are finished, and I don't have too much time to spend on D right now, so I'm trying to concentrate on core language and LDC work…

for anyone still interested.

after some itch scratching i finally got this to compile with dmd
2.063.2 on ubuntu 64bit -
https://bitbucket.org/michaelc37/qtd-experimental

here is what i did.

1) had to create auto_ref template for passing rvalues
    q: i remember some discussion on this, has a solution been
finalized?
2) modify generator so that it adds the "override" keyword where
necessary
3) modify generator so that structs are passed to cpp exported
functions as pointers.
    q: i think that some d structs are objects in cpp (QRect?),
and when cpp read the data the alignment seem to be off(e.g.
height variable data, ended up in the x variable). Can somone
explain this?

QRect doesn't have a field for height: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtbase/blobs/stable/src/corelib/tools/qrect.h#line262

Sounds like http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5570 ?

Very happy to hear that QtD is getting some attention.  GUI programming is quite a long way from what I usually do, but I think having good and up-to-date Qt bindings is likely to be very important for D.
