Qt’s Phonon library has an awesome goal: abstract video and audio services to simplify cross-platform development. It has worked great for me out of the box using Qt 4.7 on linux and Mac OS X. Windows setup took a bit of elbow grease. Here are the cheatnotes to get you through it quickly.<\/p>\n
NOTE: The Qt mingw setup worked fine for me when I was setting up my first Windows development environment, do not hesitate to go that route. All you need is the Qt SDK for Windows<\/a>. Free is good!<\/p>\n But this time around, I opted for using Visual Studio 2010, since I already had it installed and I wanted to compare. I’ve read that there is no support<\/em> for using the open-source-licensed Qt with Visual Studio, but the official Qt download page for the Visual Studio Add-In clears things up – it says the add-in “can be used for development together with all Qt licenses”. Let’s fire it up and try it out!<\/p>\n Just the facts, ma’am:<\/p>\n That should be all you need.<\/p>\n FYI… I had trouble along the way, and explored alternatives. There are three options I know of at this time, none completely polished yet:<\/p>\n I really don’t want to spend time debugging beta solutions at this time, as I have a mile-long todo list. Also, if it’s possible to avoid a ton of platform-specific code, I’d be a lot happier. If the stock phonon gets the job done well enough, good enough for me for now.<\/p>\n Have fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Qt’s Phonon library has an awesome goal: abstract video and audio services to simplify cross-platform development.
