Guide to Using free QT with Visual Studio

[delinkx]

. The steps for a successful integration of Qt in Visual Studio IDE. By default the open-source Qt does not come with integration with Visual Studio IDE (which is only available in the commercial editions of Qt). Follow the steps in the document for a successful integration.

vs express can't install plugins ,does it?

I have updated the pdf document to cater for the visual studio express editions where the plugin cannot be installed...

cheers

Thank you very much for your tutorial
It works perfectly for me, I already have a Qt app running.

BTW, I see examples and demos are not compiled, is that normal? If I compile them, they work fine.

Just a suggestion, you could add some information about "configure" parameters.
For instance, I only want to create an opengl app, so I used:
configure -no-sql-sqlite -no-qt3support -platform win32-msvc2005 -no-libtiff -no-dbus -no-phonon -no-phonon-backend -no-webkit


Thanks for help.

I got a complant. Why bother downloading the QtSDK if you're just going to recompile it again. Just download the source. And why not just use Qt-Creator if you can't install plugins since the express editions don't support plugins. Qt-Creator is far better than that broke piece of shit VS.

yes u can compile from the source also. As for using with express editions, i have updated the way to overcome installing the plugin.

i do agree with u if we gonna use only Qt, then QtCreator is better to use as itself. But when u want to integrate Qt in ur other projects in VS then u cannot do it here in creator.

like i am using Qt with my Ogre Project. Since my ogre project is already established there in VS, i need to bring Qt over there.

You do know that you can do that also in Qt-Creator . At least you get code complete in Qt-Creator unlike Visual Studio

I must use VS cause some of my libs only work with microsoft compiler, but not mingw, so, I can't use Qt Creator.

Thanks.

You do know that depending on your platform specs set when you compiled Qt. Qt-Creator "reads" that and actually uses visual studios compiler in Qt-Creator. And I've read they are even working on getting visual studio's debugger working in Qt-Creator

I don't understand you very well. Do you mean you can use vs compiler with Qt creator?

They are working on it now. Read it on their blogs
