Compiling in Windows

First, the latest version of Qt is 4.4.3.

After you have installed Qt you should find a new entry in the start menu, in it you will find a link to "Qt Command Prompt". This will start a shell with the environment all set up to compile Qt applications.

You can put the file in any folder you want, then go to the command prompt and change to that folder. There you have to type

qmake -project
qmake
make

as is said in the tutorial. The created .exe will be placed somewhere below the folder you are in, depending on what was specified in the .pro file.

thanks for replying.

I have one more question.

When i used the Qt designer, and when i save the project, i get a file with .ui extension.

How can i get a .exe of that??

I think that the best way to approach Qt for a Newbie is to use Qt Creator which contains all what you need.
