I’m interested in playing around with GUIs and I’ve been trying to set up Qt for Visual Studio 2008 and MinGW but have failed miserably—in that at times I’d compile the library and it still wouldn’t work and others the compile would fail. Can anyone recommend a good guide to set up Qt (or another GUI toolkit if setting up Qt just doesn’t work well for beginners). No preference for IDE really, just want to start coding already 🙂

Edit I tried both answers and they were both great, the QtCreator is a fast way to get started with Qt. And 20th Century Boy’s blogpost was a thorough guide to setting up Qt with VS08 that I could even follow (answering the original question). Thanks and happy coding 🙂
