GUI development using Qt on Windows

[Sriguru]

Getting started with QT for GUI application development on Windows.

Downloaded and installed Qt 5.7.

Created a GUI project, tried compiling and got this error.
"
Error while building/deploying project FirstQtApp (kit: Desktop Qt 5.7.0 MSVC2015 32bit)
When executing step "qmake"
"

Do I need to install any other software packages before compiling and what is the configuration to be made?

Please help me resolve this.

Thanks.

Hi also you need Visual Studio 2015 you can download it here

Hi,

I have it already installed.

I was wondering if there is any configuration required to make it work? And if there are any other pre-requisite tools?

Yes, also when you install Visual Studio 2015, you need to select "Custom installation" and then choose C++.
If you have already installed it, you can choose File New Project C++ to make it install the C++ components for you.
