Why Qt libraries 4.8.4 for Windows (minGW 4.4, 317 MB) not include minwg 4.4?

? Offline

JKSH: I hope there will be something a bit easier with Qt5. That is going to be a SDK again and from what I read on the mailing lists it should (eventually, maybe not included at first) be possible to install Qt4 using it.

@vexi : Is you get to do the installation?

Does this mean that for us who can't or don't want to use the VC++ compiler, we have to compile Qt from source using the latest MingW compiler?

I've searched high and low for somewhere to download MingW 4.4 without success.

If this is so, the MingW packages you have up seem kind of pointless.

Why is the old Qt SDK containing everything not still made available in the interim until a new fully integrated SDK is available?

Is it not possible for MingW 4.4 to be made available as a separate download until such a time?

Nice thanks. I was almost tempted to try my hand at compiling from source. The links on the pages where the instructions should be don't work:

"http://qt-project.org/wiki/Get_The_Source#c5655294df78acbcb9ac6fdb87cbb620":http://qt-project.org/wiki/Get_The_Source#c5655294df78acbcb9ac6fdb87cbb620

I'm in the same situation ...
after downloading the MingW 4.4 linked above i've to compile it or not ?

Is not avaialbe a mingw4.4-get-inst ?

I found this guide .
(italian but u will get the mean)

Download MinGW 4.4, extract it into any folder (e.g. C:\MinGW)

Download "Qt libraries 4.8.4 for Windows (minGW 4.4, 317 MB)" from http://qt-project.org/downloads , run the installer

Download "Qt Creator 2.6.1 for Windows (52 MB)" from http://qt-project.org/downloads , run the installer

Open Qt Creator, configure it by going to:

Tools -> Options -> Build & Run -> Qt Versions -> Add

Tools -> Options -> Build & Run -> Compilers -> Add

Tools -> Options -> Build & Run -> Kits -> Add

Start writing programs :)

The above instructions were for Qt 4.8.4 and MinGW. If you want the latest Qt 5.0.0 (with Visual C++ 2010, not MinGW), do this:

Download and install Windows SDK 7.1 (32-bit) from http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/1/0/F10113F5-B750-4969-A255-274341AC6BCE/GRMSDK_EN_DVD.iso (it's ~570 MB)

Restart your computer

Download and install Qt libraries 5.0.0 for Windows (VS 2010 406 MB) (This already includes Qt Creator 2.6.1)

My little experience by now was with wxwidgets only .

On Qt , programs source code is different if compiler is different ?
(MingW vs VC)

Or it's the same until i remain on the Qt / C++ statement ?
(i don't know if this question have sense...)

But, if you compile your program with MinGW, your Qt library (or your Qt DLLs) must also be compiled using MinGW. That's why they have different library downloads for different compilers.

Hi, i followed the MinGW way and all work fine !!

I specify here the paths setup because i lost a bit of time for it :

Tools -> Options -> Build & Run -> Compilers -> Add -> C:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe
Tools -> Options -> Build & Run -> Qt Versions -> Add -> C:\Qt\4.8.4\bin\qmake.exe
Tools -> Options -> Build & Run -> Kits -> Add -> autodetect

Hopefully I'd saved Tdm MinGW 4.4 installation:

MinGW is for creating Windows programs. Do you want to cross-compile for Windows, or create Mac programs?

Mac programs .

qxoz

For mac Xcode should be enough.

JKSH

Then you don't want MinGW :) Just use Mac's compiler

Tkx qxoz & JKSK ,
i downloaded xcode today but my girlf. denied me to access her Mac :)

Anyway i'm at my place on Windows and i tried to give to a friend my release.exe file for a try ...
but the .exe ask for mingwm10.dll

How can i obtain a release indipendent from the environment ?
(linking with static libraries?)
