MFC to QT

[satbirsoni]

Hi


Our current GUI is implemented in MFC, Our build environment is

> Windows XP (SP2),
> VC6

We are using Nmake for building your source .

My Questions are :

> Can we replace MFC with QT without changing our build environment
> Like any other sdk, Do i have to (include & Library folder) from qt4 installation

I want to build some samples with VC6 to present to team, how to start ?

Best Regards
Satbir

Can we replace MFC with QT without changing our build environment

Please elaborate your mean by build environment.

Like any other sdk, Do i have to (include & Library folder) from qt4 installation

Not every time If you add Qt installation in your environment variable (PATH).

I want to build some samples with VC6 to present to team, how to start ?

Download qt sdk from here and voila.

I don't see why your build environment should change, after all, the most you'll be doing is using a few custom build steps for MOC and UIC, and the later only if you use .ui files (typically from QDesigner).

Qt comes with a VS addin that can generate valid VS project files from either nothing, or .pro (QtCreator) files.

You will however have to recompile Qt (or contact Nokia about a commercial license, unless you have one already), as by default it only comes with libraries for GCC. This step isn't difficult however and you can be done in a few hours. You can just throw it into the background, so no need to sit around waiting for it.

And you should use Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition as Visual Studio 6 isn't supported any more and shouldn't be used period.
