Qt application with metro style
-
Hi,
You cannot make Metro (Windows RT) applications with Qt yet. Only Desktop Windows is supported.
But, if you just want your application to look like Metro, you can use Qt Quick.

Just go to http://qt-project.org/downloads and download "Qt 5.1.0 for Windows" (there are a few versions, so choose the one that matches your compiler). It contains both C++ and QML libraries.
QML and C++ are two different languages. Qt engineers invented QML mainly to let users create GUIs. You can combine both QML and C++ in the same project: https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.1/qtqml/qtqml-cppintegration-topic.html

You're welcome. :)
Qt has improved A LOT since 2010. Have fun!

Are you sure? You can compile Qt for an ARM device and then use it to create apps for it in Linux (like in Angstrom or ARM Ubuntu). Why it only works for Linux and not for Windows?

Because it takes more than just compiling Qt for the platform in order to use it there. -
ARM Ubuntu and x86 Ubuntu are basically the same OS. They come from the same source code, built using different compilers.
But, Windows RT is completely different from desktop Windows 8 -- Just like how iOS is completely different from Mac OS X.
See this "blog entry":http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2013/06/14/introduction-to-windows-rt-frameworks/ by someone who is trying to port Qt to Windows RT.

Hi, please start a new thread if you want to ask new questions. This thread is for discussion about Metro style applications.
But anyway, when you installed Qt, did you ask the installer to install the MinGW compiler too? After you've installed MinGW, see "this":http://qt-project.org/doc/qtcreator-2.8/creator-tool-chains.html and "this":http://qt-project.org/doc/qtcreator-2.8/creator-targets.html
