    Default Visual Studio 2005 Express

    Hello,

    I'm trying to get Qt to work with MS Visual Studio 2005 Express on Windows XP.

    I have installed Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition and olso installed the Platform SDK and Qt 4.2.0 (well unzipped qt-win-opensource-src-4.2.0) to D:\ (I've got a project that is made in QT 4.2.0, So I'll assume I need this version)

    How do I make a clean compile without error's, setting the evonioment variables stuff and to link it in VS2005? The official QT Docs/WIKI cannot help me since thats very deorganized.

    And how do I proceed?

    The open source version of Qt supports MSVC starting from version 4.3.2 so you might want to start with grabbing more recent version of Qt (recommended). Otherwise you'll have to apply a community patch to make it possible to compile Qt with MSVC at all. Anyway, then the next step is to compile Qt with MSVC (by running configure.exe & nmake). Take your time to analyze configure output before you proceed to compilation. Also, see "configure -help" for detailed info about possible options.

    I do not understand any of your text that you've posted. On the website of Trolltech, It qoutes "Visual Studio support and integration is provided with the commercial Editions of Qt.", Im not planning to pay something for open source-development.

    I've followed your solution on my first post and the follow appears in the cmd;

    Ok, let's forget about confusing community patches. In short,
    • before Qt 4.3.2 it was impossible to compile the Qt Open Source Edition with MSVC
    • starting from Qt 4.3.2 the support for MSVC was added to the Qt Open Source Edition

    More details: Qt/Windows Open Source Edition to support VS Express

    Still, to use Qt Open Source Edition 4.3.2 or later with MSVC you'll need to compile it by hand. Qt Open Source Edition binary installers are only available for MinGW.

    Hopefully this clears the situation a bit.

    You don't have nmake in PATH. Try using "Visual Studio Command Prompt".

    Yes I see, I've olso removed VC98 path's because VC6 is uninstalled before VC2005 was installed. Lets give it a try, I'll keep you guys updated. Thanks.

    Okay. A little update from me; I've done the two options, configurate and nmake (Nmake took about 2 hours). They both didn't result errors so I assume that its cool now.

    My installation directory is C:\qt-win-opensource-src-4.3.3

    How to continue right now?

    You might want to add "C:\qt-win-opensource-src-4.3.3\bin" to PATH so that you can run qmake conveniently. The next step is to create a cross-platform qmake project file (.pro) from which qmake is able to generate a Visual Studio project file (.vcproj) for you. (Furthermore, qmake is able to generate makefiles for all supported platforms/compilers.)

    Go grab Hello World and save it to an empty directory, let's say C:\HelloWorld:
    C:\HelloWorld> qmake -project
    C:\HelloWorld> qmake -tp vc
    First command creates an initial cross-platform .pro file from detected source files in that directory. Second command creates a Visual Studio project file based on the .pro file. Open the .vcproj in Visual Studio and build. Voilá!

    Just another question, is it possible to run 4.2.0 and not 4.3.3 because the source that I have is made in 4.2.0 and when compiling I get alot of QT and VC++ error's.

    Well, Qt 4.3.3 is backwards compatible with Qt 4.2.0 so I doubt it will solve compilation problems, but yes, you can have multiple versions of Qt installed. Just use qmake from the appropriate Qt installation to generate the .vcproj file. You can either adjust PATH environment variable or execute qmake directly from certain directory.

    There's a community patch which makes it possible. See our wiki: [WIKI]Qt4 with Visual Studio[/WIKI] for more details.

    Here's how I get Qt snapshots fully working, configured and built with MSVC2005:

    - Install MVSC2005 (or the other more recent version)
    - Install the most recent Platform SDK (see MSDN)
    - Afaik you'll need the Internet SDK as well, not sure, but better safe than sorry
    - Then, download and extract a recent snapshot or the preview release to D:\Qt\4.x.x
    - Open up a console with the MSVC settings loaded and go to your Qt directory
    - Type "configure -platform win32-msvc2005" without the quotation marks
    - That will build you the project files you'll need
    - After that, it's as simple as running "qmake" and drinking a lot of coffee

    Then, add D:\Qt\4.x.x\bin and D:\Qt\4.x.x\lib to your path environment variable, and you'll be able to use this version of Qt from everywhere on your system.

    Hope that helps!

    I suppose you mean "nmake".

    In fact, there's a significant difference. qmake is a tool which generates makefiles (or project files) but doesn't build anything whereas nmake is the actual tool which builds projects based on provided makefiles. Very nice summary, though.

    I know, I know

    I wasn't able to edit my previous post anymore, but I've got some updates. Just had a new system, so had to do everything right out of the box again. I was close, but some things could have been described better, so here goes:

    -------

    Here's how I get Qt snapshots fully working, configured and built with MSVC2005. The same list of routines is valid for MSVC2008 (aka Visual C++ 9.0) as well, it can open the project files from 2005 without any conversions (at least, I haven't seen it doing any).

    - Install MSVC2005 or MSVC2008
    - Install the most recent Platform SDK (@ MSDN: "Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2")
    - From the Platform SDK, you'll need to install at least the base + internet options
    - Then, download and extract a recent snapshot or the preview release to D:\Qt\4.x.x
    - Open up a console with the MSVC settings loaded (see MSVC Tools-menu) and go to your Qt directory
    - Type "configure -platform win32-msvc2005" without the quotation marks
    - That will build you the project files you'll need
    - After that, it's as simple as running "nmake" and drinking a lot of coffee

    Then, add D:\Qt\4.x.x\bin and D:\Qt\4.x.x\lib to your path environment variable, and you'll be able to use this version of Qt from everywhere on your system. The latter could be added to the library section in the options from MSVC as well.

    When you run into a build error which tells you that QNetworkProxy is undefined, that's caused because one of the headers in Qt tells the compiler to forward declare QNetworkProxy only. Including QNetworkProxy.h in the source file giving the error, should solve it.
