|   | ====== How to convert . qt3->qt4 . kde3->kde4 ====== | 
|   |  | 
|   | This may be a help, for new contributors to the qt4/kde4 port of rosegarden. It may also serve to see, what could be replaced with "search'n replace scripts". If possible, **avoid to use the Q3Support** and includes. Use the new Qt4 classes instead. Reason: Q3Support doesn't work as well, as it one might expect and we need to move to Qt4 anyway. |
