no. Qt is completely not compatible with lesstif (or motif in general).
it's simply a different library sitting on top of Xlib (or Xt?). however,
it has many more modern widgets that motif (core motif, at least) lacks,
and is C++ oriented (while motif is written in C, thought you can find C++
wrappers for motif, GINA to name one i happend to see at work).
> How this announcement will affect the lesstiff project ?
it probably won't. the idea of lesstiff is to allow one to compile code
that until now required using motif for compilation. such code has nothing
to do with Qt.
btw, anyone knows if lesstiff is also binary-compatible with motif (i.e. i
can take a dynamically-linked binary, and use lesstiff as the dynamic
library, instead of a real motif library?)
