QT support for Visual studio 2012 ultimate edition

Raveendra

I'm facing problem with the qt SDK given by the above link.
I've written a flash pass-through dll using the given SDK, which intern loads adobe flash Dll.
But my pass-through works fine with debug mode binaries .But it was crashing when i used release mode binaries.
Basically a qt web-view application will load this pass-through to play some videos.

[quote author="raven-worx" date="1371646737"]with Qt 5.1 there will be a MSVC 2012 32bit precompiled package available (RC was just "released":http://download.qt-project.org/development_releases/qt/5.1/5.1.0-rc1/ these days).

The Qt VS plugin 1.1.x should also work with MSVC 2012 AFAIK.
For Qt 5 you need to use VS plugin 1.2.x

It in fact does NOT. I just tried installing the 1.1.11 in VS2012 Premium. See post "here":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/31965/

[quote author="raven-worx" date="1371720230"]ah sorry...seems that the VS plugin 1.1.x indeed doesn't support MSVC 2012.

So in a sense there is then no Qt4 support for VS2012. The 1.1.11 add-in makes that connection. It DID work as of VS2010

just because the addin doesn't support an MSVC version it doesn't men that you can't use the MSVC version to compile Qt.
You just don't have the comfort that comes with the addin and will have to do the whole work (moc steps, etc.) by yourself.

I found "feature request":https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTVSADDINBUG-168 targeting this issue.

True and I can build apps in assembler too. Sarcasm aside, it is a big inconvenience not having the add-in. Until the lines between Qt Creator and VS blur together, you at times need both tool sets.

you can use QtCreator (setup with msvc compiler) to develop your Qt specific parts and still use Visual Studio for the rest.
You just loose the dependency building in this case...

If that's an option for you.

Options are always better than not having any. May be the ONLY option. I commented the "bug":https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTVSADDINBUG-168#comment-213673

I'm not sure if that even would work given the dependency issues mentioned. Going to do a test...

EDIT:
There seems to be a problem with the tool set. If a project that works perfectly when build using Qt Creator is them loaded into VS2012 with the 1.2.2 add-in, I get the following error

Error 2 error MSB6006: "CL.exe" exited with code -1073741515. C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Platforms\Win32\Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.targets 147 5 ImageViewer (Visual Studio 2010).

If I change the tool set to use Visual Studio 2012 (v110) I get:
Error 3 error LNK2038: mismatch detected for '_MSC_VER': value '1600' doesn't match value '1700' in main.obj C:\Users\Default.WIN-SHC18RVLNPH\Documents\ImageViewer\qtmaind.lib(qtmain_win.obj) ImageViewer

Bottom line: There may not be any available options using VS2012 with Qt4!

Tried a test - it doesn't work.

what exactly isn't working?!
