Hallo, I am trying to start with QT. Therefor I bougth some books, but they are all about QT4. Is there a possibility to get QT4.8 and a suitable MinGW and QTCreator as Bundel? Which installs all the componets for me. Like the one which you can download from qt-project.org with Version 5.1.

No. You can get bundled Qt libraries with MinGW. Then you need to install Qt Creator separately. It's easy to set up, most of the time Qt Creator will actually auto-detect your config.

I downloaded http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/4.8/4.8.5/qt-win-opensource-4.8.5-mingw.exe but when I try to install it the setup tells me MinGW ist required and the setup can't find it on my pc. So the MinGW Compiler is not included or am I wrong?
-
Hm, I thought it was included. :/

I've read a post wich sad the mingw in the filename only said that the QT Installation was compiled with minGw. I also have problems with finding older minGW installation. It sems that all old versions were removed from the internet. I realy can't understand why
-
They are all (including Qt 1!) available in "the archive":http://download.qt-project.org/archive/qt/.
As for MinGW bundling - I don't remember, I'm using Linux myself, where it's all much easier. And when I'm on Windows, I compile myself with MSVC.

okay what is MSVC and how can i use it?

Microsoft Visual C++ compiler. You can get it with Windows SDK or by installing Visual Studio.

I have a Visual Studio 2013 installation on my System, how could I use it to compile my qt project. do i need the Visual Studio Plugin wich i can download from the website?
-
Just go to Start->Microsoft Visual Studio 2012->Visual Studio Tools->VS2012 x86 Native Tools Command Prompt.
Or choose the x64 version if you wish.
This will give you a terminal with the compiler already set-up and ready. Now you can cd into your Qt download, and compile using desired options (see READMEs or numerous wikis here on Qt Project website).
