Hi. If i use lazarus with qt4, what type of license my application has
?

Yes if you use it for commercial use. Otherwise you are GPL AFAIK. All
QT4 restrictions apply.

GPL = you must give away the program source code, whether you charge
for your software or not.

Updated: No. Qt is LGPL now:

Qt GNU LGPL v. 2.1 Version

This version is available for development of proprietary and
commercial applications in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1

I have installed the Qt-4.5 SDK on Ubuntu Hardy. So far so good,
except that the system continues to use the distro Qt release, i.e.
4.3 (could not uninstall it, otherwise too many dependencies would
have been broken). So now I need to figure out a way to build my
Lazarus/FPC apps using the 4.5 lib in the SDK. ::scratches head::

to build lazarus itself you can run "make clean bigide LCL_PLATFORM=qt
OPT=-dUSE_QT_45"

Thanks, Paul. Actually, I was thinking of re-building only the LCL
with packages and then setting the compiler options to Qt for my
Lazarus/FPC application. Problem is, I haven't figured out yet how to
link against a Qt library version that is not the default version on
my Ubuntu system (in this case, Qt-4.5 brought by the SDK installed
under /opt).

Anyway, there are probably few systems that come with Qt-4.5
preinstalled at this time, so I guess I'll have to wait a while before
Qt-4.5 apps can run anywhere.

I am trying to build an app under Windows XP using the Qt-4.5 widget
set (QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll, release 4.5.0, are in the same
directory as my executable). I installed libqt4intf.dll in
C:\Windows\System32 and qt4.pas in FPC\Lazarus\lcl\interfaces\qt
(v1.70, as per
http://users.telenet.be/Jan.Van.hijfte/qtforfpc/fpcqt4.html). I set
LCL Widget Type = qt (beta) in Compiler Options and also
Project|Compiler|Options|Other|Custom options = -dUSE_QT_45. I
successfully built the executable.

Upon launching the application I get the error message shown in the
attachment. Any sugestions?

That error when you install qt the SDK , but when install
"Download Qt libraries 4.5 for Windows"
It work fine with me.
