Question

Does anyone have details in setting up Qt4 in Visual Studio 2008? Links to other resources would be appreciated as well.

I already know that the commercial version of Qt has applications to this end. I also realize that I'll probably need to compile from source as the installer for the open source does not support Visual Studio and installs Cygwin.

Was it helpful?

Solution

It's even simpler now with QT4, you no longer need the patch. Basically you just need to supply "-spec win32-msvc2008" to configure.
There are detailed instructions here http://tom.paschenda.org/blog/?p=28

The visual studio add-in is also open-source and available.

OTHER TIPS

Looks like it's been done with Visual Studio 2005: http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/Building_QT_4_with_Visual_C%2B%2B_2005

I'd imagine it would work with Visual Studio 2008, even if it requires some changes.
