Qt with VS Express
-
Hello,
[quote author="SGaist" date="1393754556"]Hi,
Yes, VS2013 can be used with Qt. Currently the Qt Project doesn't offer official packages for 2013 but you can find "unofficial builds here":http://www.tver-soft.org/qt64 or build it yourself[/quote]
This is a good link as I always find myself in need of unofficial builds.Thanks.
[quote author="Jamiil" date="1394580915"]I tried compiling using mingw, and it worked :( I am back to the beginning. It looks like Qt does not work with the VS compiler?
Any advice will be much appreciated.
Thanks[/quote]If everything is installed correctly I think you might need to configure your kits as someone said before.Qt does work with the VS compiler.Go in the build and run settings of Qt Creator , in the compiler tab add the VS compiler.In the kits tab add a kit with the vs compiler and your Qt version.
This "link":http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qtcreator-3.0/creator-configuring.html says more .I hope this helps.
Your question helped learn sth I didn't know :-) -

First and foremost, thanks for the suggestion. I am using VSE2013 on a Win7-64bit machine and now I am ready to install qt-5.2.1-x64-msvc2013 as well as qt-creator-3.0.1-x64 from the above suggested web site. Is there any specific directory to which install in the qt kit? Is there any documentation material that would help answering this question and other that might pop up along the way?

You can use the defaults from the installer which work just fine. Otherwise it's up to you but there is one rule that you should not break:
- No spaces in the path
I know it may sound funny, but spaces in paths on windows are a known problem.

Strange, I am unable to create a project

Your Qt version is set to "None".
Install Qt for MSVC 2013 x64, and select it in your "Desktop" kit.

[quote author="JKSH" date="1395144907"]Your Qt version is set to "None".[/quote]See your first screenshot (Build & Run -> Kits). Change Qt version from "None" to "Qt 5.2.1"

Qt version is a pull down menu, which contains no other choice but 'none'. I clicked on the button next to the pull down menu box, 'Manage'. This takes me to a the 'QT Version' tab, which contains two columns (Auto-Detect and Manual) and three buttons on the right hand (Add..., Remove and Cleanup).
Selecting Auto-Detect/Manual and then clicking on the Add button, I am presented with a 'File Chooser' window with three directories (bin, lib and share). I checked the subdirectories in each of the above mention directories but to no avail.
Having said that, my question is: how do I change the Qt Version from 'None' to 'Qt 5.2.1'?
Thanks. -
Thanks, I got the setting right! :)
Now the problem starts. I get an error :(

Wow, I am researching this error on bing.com, and I have found that when this problem comes up, all the suggestions and advices end right there.

I would really like someone with experience resolving this error to give an opinion here. I have seen this problem being present in several places in the internet. None of them were resolved.

I got the "'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" message once. For me, I fixed the problem by repairing my MSVC installation. I'm not sure if my solution will work for you though.
Anyway, someone has submitted a bug report, but the root cause hasn't been found yet: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTCREATORBUG-11539 The reporter managed to work around the problem by launching Qt Creator from a batch script. See if that helps.

Ah! Thanks for the info. I checked it out and tried to duplicate the solution, but without good result.
However, before going any further I will rename this posting 'Att: Qt Engineers - No Visual Studio for Qt', so please follow the trail "here":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/39893/.Thanks everyone for the wonderful help, truly outstanding! and just to think no one here is getting paid, laudable, very much laudable.
