    Hi,
    I am new to Qt and Qt creator. I have an existing MSVC project that I have ported into a Linux enivironment. There I would like to build and debug that project using Qt creator which I had not known before and which has been recommended to me. If this forum is the right one: could you please tell me what is best practice to do that.
    Kind regards
    Werner

      Hi and welcome to devnet,

      What are you currently using to build your project ?
      Are you using any project manager like cmake or qmake ?

        Hi SGaist,

        it was as simple as creating a new project and adding all files directory-wise;
        however there is still something I fail to manage:

        I am trying to set a macro within the build configuration that can be identified by #ifdef;
        however I yet failed to find the right way, although I have googled for some time
        now.

        Could you please tell me how this is to be managed?

        Kind regards
        Werner

          Hi
          Are you using qmake ?
          You can make a define with
          DEFINES += "WINVER=0x0500"
