Visual Studio 2010 support

gshannon

I saw that the the most recent supported Microsoft platform is VS 2008.

Two quick questions:

What are the plans for supporting 2010?
Even thought 2010 is not formally supported right now, can I compile Qt source using 2010? Have other been successful? If so, are there any special considerations different that 2008?

Thanks for the help,

George

I have successfully compiled it for 2010 ... I was using a nice guide (but I'm not sure where it was....I could search for it).

Yes you can build Qt using Visual Studio 2010 in both x86 and x64, I know as I use it myself.

Here, I founded it: "How To Compile Qt 4.7 with Visual Studio 2010":http://www.holoborodko.com/pavel/2011/02/01/how-to-compile-qt-4-7-with-visual-studio-2010/ .

If I can recall correctly, everything worked the way it was supposed to :)

Browse the forum, to compile in 64 bits, you need to have an updated version (hotfixed) version of VS 2010, initial release was buggy.

Just a couple of days ago i wrote a small "guide" about how to built Qt with Visual Studio, you can find it "here":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/5001/#30071

That post has links to the official build Qt with Visual Studio guide, qt source, configure parameters documentation so i hope that will be helpful ;)

//i didn't built 64bit Qt, i built the 32 version a couple of times and it never failed when i built the qt sources

Hi Zlatomir,

what about making a wiki out of this?

Zlatomir

Hi Gerolf, i don't think this is a wiki material, it's just my little experience and links to more documentation ;)

But it would be a nice little wiki for that. And I think people are used to look at the wiki :-)

Hi all: I just wanted to say thanks for all the quick help. It has been quite supportive and very responsive. I haven't yet migrated to VS 2010 (licensing - I have to buy it...).

Thanks again!
