Porting of your app depends on what kind of app you have. It is hard to tell without knowing how many system-specific things you are using there.

As for Eclipse integration , then see this.

Hi,
thanks for your quick reply.I would like to know how to port a basic QT window app to linux as I already informed that I am new to QT in linux ,I even dont know how to compile the project in Linux enviroment , which was already developed on MSVS. And coming to type of app I would like to port the gui app in which I do mostly the database operations( I mean connectiong to sqlite and creating tables and updating data).
So please suggestme to get out of this problem.


Regards,
Sudheer.

1. Copy your project to Linux
2. Install eclipse and integration (see link above)
3. Run eclipse and create (i think there should be 'import project' option) project
4. Run build from eclipse.

I think this is the best solution for you

I'm not sure if you have any .pro file for your project when you develop under MSVC so find the suitable option in MSVC Qt menu or use the :

qmake -project

qmake -project

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

command in your project directory.
When you have your code and the .pro file, you can use in the (almost) same way on any platform supported by Qt. You need to run a console (terminal) and change directory to your project dir with cd command and then type:

qmake

qmake

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

when it finish (quite fast :]) type:

make

make

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and then you have your app built :]
