Using visual studio 2012 : QT add In ???

[ClementD]

Hello,

I would like to build a project using Kinect SDK 1.8 and Qt Tools.

• Kinect SDK 1.8 requires maximum visual studio 2012.
• And I would like to use Qt 5 tools (so at least VS 13)
  I read somewhere that Qt add in could help me using a VS 2012 lib into a vs 13 project but I don’t know how it works.
  First, does someone have a better idea?
  Does someone can give me some advices?

Thanking you in advance,

Hi,

That won't help in your case. You can't use C++ libraries built with VS2012 for projects built with VS2013. Microsoft's compilers are not compatible one with the other.

If you want to have something more recent, the V2.0 SDK lists VS2013 as a possibility.

Hope it helps

And is it possible to build the librairy with vs 2013?

I only have a V1 sensor and V2.0 SDK require a V2 sensor.
If it's too difficult i will look for a new kinect sensor .

Thanks you.

@ClementD You cannot use a library built with VS2013 with VS2012 compiler, this does not work.

Hello,

Is it possible to build manually QT 5 with VS 2012 or i only can use QT 4?

@ClementD Which exact Qt version do you want to build?

[jsulm]

@ClementD Qt 5.5 can be built with VS2012: http://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-5.5/windows-requirements.html
Qt 5.6 seems to support VS2012 as well http://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-5.6/windows-requirements.html
but not Qt 5.7 and above: http://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-5.7/windows-requirements.html
