Qt 4.2.2 and Visual studio express

[Morea]

Is it possible to set up Qt 4.2.2 with that compiler?

[Brandybuck]

I have seen this, but I have not done it myself. My guess is that either the VS2005 version supports express, or that it was built from sources.

I guess you are refering to the opensource version of Qt, for the commercial one there is a visual studio integration available from Trolltech.

For the opensource version there ist a good working patch, but it takes some time to apply it. Please go to http://www.qtnode.net/wiki/Qt4_with_Visual_Studio, there is a tutorial.

Regards :)

Yes. http://www.kdelibs.com/wiki/index.php/Building_KDElibs_4_using_MS_Visual_Studio

I get some strange error saying:

(The windows.h file is in c:\program files\microsoft platform SDK...\include

and it seems to me that this path is added to the compiler in the tools->options->projects and solutions menue.
Any ideas on what to do?
