Trying to understand about integrating Qt with VS 2005

[dpatel]

Hi,

I am trying to integrate Qt 4.6, which comes along with Qt SDK 2009.05, with VS 2005 on my Win XP machine. I have downloaded and installed Qt-Vs add-in and I am able to create new Qt Gui project from VS-2005. But when I compile and run the project (I haven't added any new controls on the Window- Plain window only), linker fails saying that its not able to find qtmaind.lib. Then I build Qt src (which comes along with SDK). I find that mainly 3 libraries are needed qtmaind.lib,QtCored4.lib and QtGuid4.lib. My build eventually fails while trying to build WebKit, but still I can now compile and run Qt application from VS-2005.

So my question is what all libraries do we need to build other than those which come along with the SDK, so that I can create Qt projects from VS without any issue in future?
Any ideas?

Thanks.

Maybe I don't understand your question correctly, but you can download Qt for VS from Nokias website which contains all the libraries required in a pre-compiled form.

If You want to use Qt with Visual Studio don't use Qt SDK. Qt SDK is prepared to work with mingw. Download from Qt library precompiled for Visual Studio (2005 or 2008) or source packet and rebuild it with Yours prefered compiler.

Thanks Lesiok for the rely.

I even tried to compile the source code with nmake (which comes along with the VS 2005). But the compilation fails when it tries to build it with Webkit. But by them time it has built the necessary libraries for Qt -VS integration to work.

I guess I will have to try to solve with build failure issue.

Thanks,

If You don't need Webkit just switch them off. We have a problem with build Webkit on WS-2003. Linker is unable to build DLL. On XP and Vista Webkit compiles without problems.

Hello,

Do i understand this correct? Can I use the precompiled version for VS2008 in my VS2005? Or do I need to recompile this? If I need to recompile, is there a precompiled version for VS2005?

Thankx!
