How to build RPM packages for Ark Linux
Developing Software
To start development in Ark make sure to install the devel-core package to get all the libraries and tools associated with the gcc compiler.
We recommend using Qt and KDE for the development of applications with a graphical user interface. If you're developing non-free software and don't want to pay for a Qt license (Qt is free for developing Free Software (note: that does not mean $0!) only), we recommend FOX as an alternative.
