Emacs X toolkit support

emacs

From what I understand, Emacs uses GTK as it's default X toolkit. Does Emacs support X toolkits other than GTK? For example, can I build Emacs to use Qt4 instead of GTK?

Best Answer

./configure --help for GNU Emacs 24.3 informs me:

--with-x-toolkit=KIT    use an X toolkit (KIT one of: yes or gtk, gtk2,
                        gtk3, lucid or athena, motif, no)

So yes, you can use other toolkits, but Qt seems not to be not among them.
