I downloaded open-source version of Qt from the site and have compiled it with nmake, but I’m having trouble using it in my projects. It seems that Visual Studio can’t find the Qt headers, even though I added the paths to my PATH, INCLUDE, and LIB variables. I tried installing the Qt Visual Studio add-in but it only supports Visual Studio 2008.
Has anyone gotten Qt to work with Visual Studio 2010? Or do I have to wait until Qt 4.7 is officially released for Visual Studio 2010 support?
Traditionally VS support was part of the paid licences, with the OS package you only get mingw support. Things are changing, but might have some rough edges for a while.
OTOH, mingw has a HUGE advantage: deployment. You don’t have to chase around the
vcredist_x86files and all the associated voodoo. Just be sure to include all the .DLLs you use and that’s it.Also, there’s QtCreator. It’s not as featureful or omniscient as VS; but it does feel a lot nicer and easier to use. It takes off all the tedious work of nmake, and embeds the UI editors. And it’s cross platform!
honestly, for me VS can drop dead this minute and i won’t miss it.
