I just want to render QT widgets into a SFML window without using the QT implementation of opengl. Is this possible and how would I go about it?
The short answer:
It’s either impossible or not worth the effort.
The long one:
The only way to render a QWidget derived widget is to draw it on another QWidget. If you don’t write some ultra-hackish QT-SFML glue-code, that won’t be possible. And even if you do that, you still need to use qmake in the compilation process.
edit, nearly one year later:
That’s not actually that hackish… We both should had used Google.
