=head1 NAME

examples/nci/QtHelloWorld.pasm - Qt Example

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    % ./parrot examples/nci/QtHelloWorld.pasm

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Sample "Hello World" with Qt, via Parrot Native Call Interface (NCI). See
F<docs/pdds/pdd03_calling_conventions.pod>.

Qt - A cross-platform application and UI framework
(L<http://www.qtsoftware.com/about/news/lgpl-license-option-added-to-qt>). You'll need to build
F<libPQt.so> or F<PQt.dll> and install it in F<runtime/parrot/dynext> for this to
work, see F<examples/nci/PQt.C> for more information.

Note that this will either need JIT for building the NCI-functions on
the fly. If this is not available try adding missing signatures to
F<src/nci/extra_thunks.nci>, running F<tools/dev/mk_nci_thunks.pl>, and
rebuilding Parrot.
