Installation Help - Compile errors

RobC

Hi everyone,
I would like to ask for your help with my install and setup. I have ran into an issue that I can't seem to get past. I have installed the following packages on my Win8 PC.
qt-windows-opensource-5.0.0-msvc2010_32-x86-offline
mingw-get-inst-20120426

I set the path in the Environment for minGW and Qt/bin.

In Qt - Tools - Options - Build & Run Compilers tab. Auto-detected shows my minGW installation.

Under the Qt Versions tab; I see a red exclamation mark and 'No compiler can produce code for this Qt version. Please define one or more compilers'. If I click on the 'Details' button twice next to 'Qt version 5.0.0 for Desktop' ( this seems to be a bug here ). This will expose a second 'Details' button that was not there previously. On that list; QML Dump, QML Debugging Library, QML Obsrver, GDB Helper and Compiler are listed. For Compiler I am not able to change it's selection and it remains blank.

For the Kits tab; Auto-detected shows Desktop Qt 5.0.0 MSVC2010 32bit. Compiler is blank and gray'd out. Here if I create a new 'Kit' the default Auto-detected kit will then change compiler to 'minGW'.

When I create an empty gui application and compile it. Qt returns 80+ undefined references (code and output below). I'm not sure If I'm dealing with a Win8 issue or I simply mucked it up and installed/setup something wrong. Your help here is greatly appreciated.

Here is the what i'm compiling and it's output.

@
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include <QApplication>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
MainWindow w;
w.show();

return a.exec&#40;&#41;;

}
@

@
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
delete ui;
}

The problem is mingw version I have installed. I have the latest version installed and it seems 4.4 is needed. Unfortunately I'm not able to find it. Anyone have a link that works? There seems to be alot of work needed to make this IDE work. What have steps have you guys taken to get this working???

Mingw is not compatible with MSVC2010, so creator will complain loudly when you try to build code with mingw and then try to link with a msvc 2010 library.

Either build Qt 5 with mingw yourself or install MSVC2010 and work with the library you have installed already.

Tobias, Yes lessen learned on that. I was hopping that I could 'add' a new compiler but....

I have now installed the correct version of Qt and everything works great. I will add the quest taken trying to find minGW4.4 was long one. I'm surprised Qt-project doesn't host it. I would of compiled it using minGW4.7 but I wasn't sure if it would of worked.

Thank you for your reply.
