Configuring QT Creator environment

[Steven]

This isn't entirely true you know... You can change environment variables from the command line and I think that's what the question was about.

It seemed a little daft to ask how to set environment variables from the command line when you already know how to set them from the command line by using qtenv.bat, hence my suggestion.

Also, as you probably know, environment variables set from the command line are lost when the command line is closed. Environment variables set from the GUI are kept across system reboots.

I'll now create my own bat file for starting Creator, as you suggested. THANKS!

If you set the variables in the GUI, there's no need for a bat file, and you can start Creator from the desktop rather than from the command prompt.

I use Visual Studio 2008 with this configuration and I have no problems whatsoever - I just set QTDIR in the GUI environment variables page and everything works as it should.

I can't, because the global environment variables contain INCLUDEs that break QT. But I can just as well create a desktop link to my bat file - once I have that, there's really no difference to a "normal" link (except I have a command prompt open while running Creator - but I get that in 1.3.0 beta, anyway)

I use Visual Studio 2008 with this configuration and I have no problems whatsoever - I just set QTDIR in the GUI environment variables page and everything works as it should.

Visual Studio 6 is a different thing. I can't even blame it for having outdated header files.
