C++ Ide

I am a newbie at Qt4.2 and I wanna know:

In wich IDE do you write your C++ files???

Under Linux and/or under Windows?

Best Regards,

**wysota** · 28th March 2007, 10:55

KDevelop under Linux. And for Windows also in KDevelop (under Linux) and then copy it to Windows and compile using MinGW or MSVC. Very rarely I use Visual Studio.

Thanks for your quick answer!
Okay, KDevelop, that was just the IDE which I thought to use.

Imagine, I am a very new newbie at Qt, so I have another Question:

I am Installing qt4.2 (opensource)

I am Installing Kdevelop (newest Version)

Now, must I configure KDevelop anyway to use Qt4.2 with it, or should I write with it only ma cpp and h-files and should I compile it in the terminal with

"qmake -project && qmake && make" like it is explained in the Install Manual from Qt4.2

Best regards, I hope you can help me.

I suggest you to have a look at the Qt Software section... 3 Qt4 IDEs have been announced already. If you prefer using "stable" products, which rarely have a decent Qt4 support on the other hand, you can always try KDevelop, as already mentioned, Ajunta, Dev-C++, Code::Blocks, Visual Studio, ...

(G)Vim

with OmniCppComplete and some other tweaks (folding, bracket autoclosing, etc.)

The newest version should work out of a box. Just take a look at the project options dialog and make sure an appropriate checkmark is checked and proper paths are used so that KDevelop knows where to find your Qt4.2 installation.

I am using eclipse for everything that has to do with programming. There is a wiki entry here in qtcentre that explains how to use it for Qt development. I am also using qtclipse on top of it and waiting for this

Thanks for all your answers. I am going to install some different IDEs and test them.

Thx

Best Regards,...

PS: I also prefer KDE, so I will download and install the newest Version of it.
Please correct me if I am not right, the newest Version of KDevelop is 3.4?!?!?

Hy there, ....

I got another Problem while installing KDevelop 3.4.
Before installing kDevelop 3.4, I installed Qt-4.2 into the Folder /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.2.3/

At configuring KDevelop (./configure) he checked for some Qt include and library files. He searched them in /usr/share/qt3/include and /usr/share/qt3/lib and said okay.

But at building (make) I got following error:

Qt Code:

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

And I got this error also when I manually edit the makefile after ./configure.

What can I do now?

Best Regards!

Do you have a full install of Qt3? Including the assistant client library...

**Walsi** · 29th March 2007, 14:55

Oh my God,....

I only installed Qt4.2.3 on my system. And I got it from Trolltech.com

So I also have to install Qt3??

Or must I only install the qt3 lib packages which a achieve from apt-get?

Best Regards?

edit: I am afraid of installing wrong packages which destroy or overwrite my Qt4.2.

Yes I am also a little Newbie on Linux!
