Hello,
I have to agree with Martin on this. I see little advantage in
shipping a Qt application with Sage, especially since Qt4 static or
dynamic adds easily 10 mb compressed. I have also written similar code
(also qt 4.2.3 based) that has the added capability to wrap just
about any open source math system text interface and run an arbitrary
number of sessions in parallel. That code base is actively maintained
(fact is I get paid to do so) and will be release to the public under
the GPL in December or so.
But: There isn't a reason to optionally have this interface, but the
default supported mode of Sage on Windows is the browser interface.
There are plenty of open tickets to improve that interface, and a
single 1.0.0 release 1.5 years ago doesn't exactly give a lot of
confidence. I would be glad if Ring would add a Sage mode and start to
improve the software, but that has to happen on his end unless
somebody here will step up and help out.
Cheers,
Michael
