[solved]No toolchain for MSVC compiler & Debugger
-
Do you have a MSVC 2008 installed properly? Note that the Qt SDK does not contain any MSVC compilers or debuggers.
Can you start the MSVC 2008 command prompt and build something from there? If yes, then "please file a bug report":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/ since it should have been picked up then.
If you did not install a MSVC 2008 compiler then make sure to get a MSVC 2010 based Qt (or build one yourself). You can not mix and match MSVC versions:-/
For the debugger you need the Microsoft debugging tools installed. They are available at the microsoft web site somewhere. Again those can not be included in the Qt SDK due to legal reasons.

No errors, Tobias, everything was installed correctly. But, at first I installed Visual C++ 2010, and then Qt SDK. Well, I have on computer (with XP) Visual C++ 2008, because I didn't install SP3, there it works fine. Maybe it needs to install Visual C++ 2008 (?), in order to have compiler in notebook. But that is quite useless. I will try it. But why Qt is not released with all supported compilers?
Yes, I have found it, I wanted to install Windows 7 SDK, but it had some issues, (missing installation files), so I had to install previous version.

Yes, after installation of Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0, it works fine.
So solution is:
*If you want to compile under MSVC 2008, you have to install it. Please google (Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express) and install it.
Visual C++ 2008 is available (for free, just required account) on: "Microsoft Dreamspark":https://www.dreamspark.com/ *
You should pin it, because it is important :-D -
The license of the MSVC compilers does not allow for us to distribute those compilers, sorry. Please direct your complaint to Microsoft, they are the only ones that can change this.

Are you doubt about Tobias comment? You shouldn't, really :)

AFAIK default version of libraries is MinGW. If you want other option then you know what you are doing and know prereqs for it.
