The Qt SDK Updater doesn't find any updates
-
The Qt SDK was maintained by Nokia in the past, but Nokia is not involved in Qt any more. That's why the SDK has fallen behind -- Nobody has updated it to use the latest Qt and Qt Creator.
The Qt Project is concentrating on releasing Qt 5.0.0, and there will be a Qt SDK for Qt 5.0.0beta2. See http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/releasing/2012-September/000634.html and http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.qt.user/4301
For now, you can download Qt 4.8.3 and Qt Creator 2.5.2 directly from http://qt-project.org/downloads
Don't uninstall the Qt SDK though -- you probably still need its compiler.

Ok, thanks for your answer. So a complete Qt 5 SDK will be soon released, that's nice. The Qt 5 release date is for sure in November but is there any more accurate information ?
-
"More accurate information"? What do you want to know?
Note: We don't have an exact release date for Qt 5 yet. There will be another beta soon, but people will need time to test the beta, before the final release.

On "this page":http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt_5.0 I saw the Qt 5 will finally be released by November. So I'll wait until this release. Thanks for your answers.

I suggest: install the 4.8.3 version of Qt (with a compiler and qtcreator).
Qt 5 won't be 100% compatible (binary, as I've read...) with previous 4.x.x series of Qt. -

Thanks for your answers.[/quote]You're welcome, but I think the Qt 5 release will be slightly delayed. It's not ready yet.

Ok, so I'll patiently wait the release with my current installation.

I recently used 2.4 for testing again and we made so much progress since back then! I would recommend updating that. You might want to wait for 2.6 though: The release candidate recently became available, so the final can't be far off.
Qt 4.x is pretty stable, no big jumps there, so staying a bit back there is fine IMHO.

Ok, thanks for your answer Tobias

I just tried the new Qt 5 beta 2 but I can't compile any example or project. I installed the Visual compiler brought in the package but when I create a Qt gui project, it doesn't compile because it can't find any valid compiler. Nevertheless I didn't get any error or warning during the installation. Is there any issues known with this installer ?
Thank you in advance
