Start with Qt Creator on Mac or linux for the smoothest experience...

To set up for linux development..

  • install Qt and Qt Creator using your favorite distro's package manager
  • dump in some sample code and get it compiling and running
  • install git using your package manager
  • set up a central git repo and push your sample code to it

To set up for Mac development...

  • download the Mac Qt environment, including Qt Creator
  • install git and pull down the code
  • run Qt Creator and compile and run

To set up for Windows development (PAIN in the ASS, only do this once central repo and another platform are up and working)..

  • install Visual Studio + Add-in + egit (MUCH better than msysgit)
  • start eclipse and select File->Import, select Projects from Git, hit Clone, set up remote repo and hit next, CHANGE crappy default location to C:\Michael's Data\development\thedigitalage\hangthedj.
  • repeat for Reusable
  • now we have to build Qt libraries since for some reason they haven't released a 2010 build yet, wtf....
  • start Visual Studio and select Qt->Import .pro file
  • you should now have a *.sln file you can work with

Windows box: Qt open-source Windows libraries + Visual Studio 2010 + Visual Studio 2010 Qt Add-in + eclipse + egit (for git functionality)
