I just wonder if someone in the community could provide us with an already built package, so everyone can start using quickly the library with VS 2008

1. Download the Qt source.
2. At a Visual Studio command prompt at the top of the source type 'configure.exe -platform win32-msvc'. You need to add any other arguments specific to your build.
3. Type 'nmake'.
4. Update the envirnoment variable QTDIR to point to wherever you unpacked everything, eg. C:/Qt/4.5.0
Then you need to setup MSVC. I've not read it but you can look here for that (I think): Qt4-with-Visual-Studio
Hope this helps.

What I meant was that if someone that has Qt4.5 compiled could create a package and upload it to the web, so you don't need to compile/recompile it yourself.
Well, in that case I would say no, as that would kind of be stepping on the toes of Qt's commercial MSVC version. If they still sell it that is, I just had a quick look on the website and couldn't find a link for it... But it is early...
What I've just described is how to get the poor mans version of that, which is fairly easy to do. Even if someone did make Qt for MSVC available freely you still wouldn't get the Visual Studio integration tools which is something I suspect you would also like.
You never know, with all the changes going on right now, perhaps Qt Software will make the package you want available soon themselves. Maybe...
Actually, here's a couple of links you may find useful:
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/compile...studio-windows
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/known-issues.html (see the 'Visual Studio Integration Issues' section)
I know this still isn't giving you the answer you want, but it may give you the answer you need.
Cheers
Well, I dont want the Visual Studio integration or anything related to the commercial version, I just want the binaries of the Qt 4.5 open source.
As far as I know there are two projects packaging the binary version of the library (compiled for MSVC), please take a look at these links to get an idea of what I mean:
http://qt.windows.binaries.googlepages.com/index.html This is what I need but Qt4.5 isn't there yet.
http://www.winkde.org/pub/kde/ports/...stable/latest/ The KDE on Windows Project.
Thanks anyway Paladin12.
I understand what you want but I strongly advise to build the Qt binaries yourself. It's really straight forward. Don't be scared of doing it yourself, it'll work!
Once you've done that, here's another link I've found useful in the past http://www.telldus.se/qt/tutorial.pdf.
Best of luck.
