Starting with qt

[giuseppe500]

hello.
I wish install qt 4.7 or 4.8.
I see that there are many tools and different approach.
which method do you recommend?
How i add "modules" in qt configuration?
there is a method for full install qt with all the modules?
in particular i wish know:
1)how long does the installation and configuration
2)i wish create a gui in a opengl 3d engine and i wish use opengl 3.0 programmed in c++ with all the shader geometry,vertex ecc.
I wish not use the opengl classes of qt ,
problems may arise for do not use QT opengl classes ?
3)i wish use qt with vs 2010 in a non native qt visual studio project , then i must manage the compilations of mocs ecc....there are some qt "custom rules" for vs 2010?
4)i wish use also databases , in particular sqlite,what i must insert it in configuration?
thanks.

Download the Qt, you can choose "Offline Installer" or "Online Installer"
http://qt.nokia.com/downloads

1 - The installation depends on your machine, i have comiled all modules and installed in 24 munutes

2 - OK, is possible

3 - OK, download the visual studio addin http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/visual-studio-add-in

4 - sqlite is included in the binaries of Qt

If you are starting with Qt, take a look in the help ( after installed ), do some tutorials
and take time to read the "basics".

Qt rules !!!

1)Is sufficent download and install the qt sdk , or i must compile qt?
if i must compile qt , how ? and how compile all modules?
I also see that there are some utility for compile qt like

http://www.holoborodko.com/pavel/2011/02/01/how-to-compile-qt-4-7-with-visual-studio-2010/

3)the visual studio addin have some custom rules for vs 2010?
i installed it but i don't find the custom rules , because i wish manage the interface creation and compilation of moc ecc.... from existing projects that don't are qt projects.

Thanks.

You do not have to compile Qt yourself. As long as you are using standard compilers and standard platforms, it is not necessary. You can dowload "here":http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-win-opensource-4.8.0-vs2010.exe

For VS2010 the binaries are readily available. If you have a lincensed version of MSVC the vaddin is of great help. However, if you have only the express version, the visual studio does not allow addins.
