Avogadro Featured by Qt Software

Posted by Marcus D. Hanwell on

I am very pleased to announce that Avogadro was recently featured by Qt Software on their Qt In Use page. I worked with Alexandra Leisse at Camp KDE on getting the page ready and we recently got the rest of the screenshots and videos prepared.

Check out the Avogadro Qt page and some of the features we were able to implement very rapidly thanks to the great API provided in Qt 4. The Avogadro development team is very pleased to be featured by Qt. Many of the features in Avogadro would not have been possible to implement in such short timescales without Qt. As I said on that page, we have made extensive use of the Qt plugin framework to dynamically load almost all functionality at runtime.

There are a few problems with our Windows installer, which was originally a hand crafted NSIS installer. There is a preview of a new CPack generated installer. You can get it here if you are cannot wait to try it on Windows. It lacks Python support right now as that brings in quite a few extra dependencies I have not had time to compile on my Windows virtual machine yet.

Jan JensenI pointed a "windows colleague" to your exe link, and it worked fine for him. Another satisfied customer.

Marcus D. HanwellThat is great to hear. I will see about putting out a more formal release now we seem to have solved many of these issues and automated the packaging process with CPack.
