Configure Qt development on Windows + Mac + linux
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)
