**tszzp** · 15th December 2009, 07:30

Thank you for your help. I compile successful the Qt source for Windows(Qt 4.6), but can't compile successful in Qt SDK 4.6. What's the difference in Qt SDK and Qt source for windows? Now I current use the Qt SDK 4.5.3, I can compile it successful, then can develop some program base on Qt SDK 4.5.3, then work correct. thanks.

Qt SDK contains pre-built libraries , built with Mingw. You cannot use that with Visual Studio. However you can use it with Qt Creator which will use MinGW to compile.

If you want to use Visual Studio,,,you have to compile Qt from source or download binary for VS 2008 as mentioned in last post.

I have mingw latest version with gcc 4.4 (TMC) on win xp sp3 32bit
I don't want QtCreator.
Is there a place to download the libraries (debug and release) and dev header files for gcc4.4/mingw?
Is it one of the files qt-sdk-win-opensource* in ftp://ftp.qt.nokia.com/qtsdk/?
