Qt for Native Client
summary
Qt for Native Client compiles Qt apps into Portable Native Client (PNaCl) binaries using the NaCl SDK and PPAPI, deployable in Chrome and Chrome OS (not iOS/Android). Build uses nldeploy and toolchains on Mac OS X and Linux hosts only, supports QtBase, Widgets, GraphicsView, Qt Quick/Controls, and threads but not QProcess; networking is same-origin. Debugging via Chrome DevTools works; validation catches unsafe instructions (AVX) and must be fixed. Example binaries are large but practical — 35 MB binary compresses to ~8–10 MB; asm.js experiment produces ~46 MB (8 MB gzipped).
