Hi.

Thanks for the replies. I have been soo busy at work, I have not had a chance to reply.

Right,

Possibly, but why do I get the feeling that under Windows XP, Visual Studio would run without a hitch... Might try that with the express edition...

No not really. I did have Windows 7 installed and would play Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X without a problem. The computer is quick. Open Office Calc loads in like 2 seconds. The graphics card is a ATI Raedon X1650 512mb AGP card.

QT is slow, I don't really have another applications installed on Arch... If you can name a couple, I will test them out if you like?

I used to use a P IV system for Maemo development before I got my new machine, and it is going to be slow, just because it's old. If the problem is general desktop performance, then from what you said, the first thing I'd check is that any eyecandy is turned off. If your computer is that old, and the video card isn't very good (for that era, even), then leaving desktop effects on is going to have that effect.
What was your Arch setup like? Arch is pretty darn slim by default, so I would be inclined to think that if you had the same issues there, it might be something else, rather than the sole fault of a specific technology.

The desktop performance is really good. I mostly use for surfing and watching movies, but when I had Windows 7 installed, I would play games like Hawx. In terms of Arch, its slip with only lxde installed with no eye candy.

The Laptop is a Vaio TX running Ubuntu Lucid. The CPU is a U1400 @ 1.2GHz.

Runs fine here.

If you can give a concrete example of exactly which menu items are slowfor you perhaps others can try to reproduce.

Cheers,

Well, I have just loaded up Qt. On the main screen, I have the Welcome screen. As an example, if I click on Edit tab, it takes about 2 seconds to show it up.

In terms of Madde, I have it installed as per the instructions, then when I go to Tools->Options->Qt 4->Qt Versions-> And add Madde, adding the location to /home/user/.madde/0.6.14/targets/fremantle-qt-0951/bin/qmake and click the rebuil button, I get the following error:

Code:

Building debugging helper library in /home/user/.madde/0.6.14/sysroots/fremantle-arm-sysroot-2.2009-51-1-qt453/usr/share/qt4/qtc-debugging-helper/

make not found in PATH

Then when a select a example app and compile, I get the following:

Code:

Could not find make command: make in the build environment
Error while building project animation
When executing build step 'Make'
Canceled build.

I am thinking it could just be that I need to stick to Windows, which is fine, except how can I compile???

I have a spare 80gb HD so I can install a copy of XP or even Windows 7 (although will need to buy Windows 7) if Windows is the way forward!?

Thank you everyone and sorry for the quick reply!
