Is it at all feasible (either currently, or with continued future development/enhancement) to think of using the wxQt port in a more broad "generic" manner than that for which it appears to have been designed ? In other words, to use wxQt as a basis for mobile apps that could run on iOS, Android, and even Windows Phone ? Since Qt supports those platforms, could Qt be used to abstract away the platform specifics of all of those, and provide a single API which wx could wrap ?
The reason I ask this is because I have written an app based on wxMSW, and I would like to port it to mobile devices. Will I need to abandon wx and rewrite my app's UI in something like Qt or JUCE ? Or is there any hope that something like wxQt could get me there ? The Android and/or iOS ports of wx seem like other options. However, my first interest is Windows Phone. Secondly, getting my app running on a single port of wx (wxQt) seems like it would be easier that having to use two or three separate wx ports to cover all possibilities.

I think that was the main motivation behind the Qt port anyway.In other words, to use wxQt as a basis for mobile apps that could run on iOS, Android, and even Windows Phone ?

But i haven't heard of anyone who actually did this. I'd by quite interested myself to see if this works.
Use the source, Luke!
Re: wxQt
Hi,
I believe the last GSoC proved it.
The work by Mariano Reingard was done with exactly that aim in mind. And he did developed the Android app.
I just don't remember if he put it in the Android Store....
Thank you.

Re: wxQt
Thanks for your comments.
Maybe this is not a crazy idea ?
How would I get started ?
I assume I'd need to somehow make a build of wxQt on Windows, since my first interest is to make a version of my app for Windows Phone.
Does anyone have any guidance or suggestions on how to do this ?

Re: wxQt
The only documentation i could find is in <wxdir>/docs/qt/ , but it doesn't mention building wxQT under Windows, only Linux.
If that doesn't help you, please ask on the wx-users mailing list:

Re: wxQt
Hi,
Building wxQt on Windows most likely is not supported. And since there is no maintainer for wxQt I think that you are on you own.
You can try cross-compiling wxQt for Windows on Linux and see if it works.
Thank you.
