I wanted to ask, are there qt5 pre-compiled versions for Visual Studio 2012. The add-in runs fine with me, but I can not start the program, because the appropriate *.libs missing.
Has someone happened to be there a compiled version to download or a configuration to translate the sources?
greetz, Tobias.
You can find some already compiled vs2012 Qt5 libraries in here.
But those are for x64 platform only...
(for example http://releases.qt-project.org/digia/5.0.2/latest_successful/qt-windows-opensource-5.0.2-msvc2012_64-x64-offline-2013-03-14-456.exe)
For x86 you will need to compile Qt by yourself, and that's a bit of pain (especially if you need WebKit included) + takes really long compilation time.
When compiling you can try and follow this:

Plus, found some interesting russian guy blog site that may be worth checking out: http://habrahabr.ru/post/168671/

I do not have the macdeployqt installed on Windows 10 alongside of the windeployqt tool. Nothing relevant or useful appears when searching about this issue so I'm forced to resort to stackoverflow.
windeployqt works fine, however the macdeployqt tool is not there. Is there a way to download the tool from somewhere possibly via the presently non working maintenance tool (due to the default repositories not working for me on QT5.11)?
The macdeploy tool's source code is shipped with Qt sources (qt-src\qttools\src\macdeployqt). Most of it's source code is within #ifdef Q_OS_DARWIN-blocks, and it's linked against Apple's CoreFoundation Framework, so I don't think you will ever get the macdeploy-tool to work on windows. Im curious how you compiled your application that you're trying to bundle; afaik you cannot cross-compile in a meaningful way as the CoreFoundation and other Mac-Frameworks are not available on any other platform.
I am in the process of upgrading from Qt4 to Qt5.
When I compiled the Qt4 sources I used to configure like this:
configure –qtlibinfix _64_
We did this for the x64 build so that the resulting Qt dlls would be renamed QtCore_64_.dll etc...
We are supporting both 64 and 32 bit builds and this made it a lot easier for us.
However, now with Qt5 it seems the -qtlibinfix option is gone. Is there an equivalent? Or another way a similar thing can be accomplished.
I have been scouring the Qt doc, and I have not found anything yet. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm also porting an app from Qt4 to Qt5. -qtlibinfix works for me as expected on Windows, building Qt 5.4.0.
I am having trouble with compiling a Qt project using the MSVC 2012 compiler. I downloaded Qt first, then realised I didn't have a proper compiler yet, and then downloaded Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 and its msvc compilers.
However, whenever I try to compile something in Qt Creator, it gives the following error:
qtmain.lib(qtmain_win.obj):-1: LNK2038: mismatch detected for '_MSC_VER': value '1600' doesn't match with value '1700' in glwidget.obj
So my understanding of what this means is that my Qt libraries are of a different (older) version than my msvc compiler. But I am not sure how to fix it, or how to get other/newer libraries. Some googling told me that the following code added to the Qt .pro file should solve things:
QMAKE_COMPILER_DEFINES += _MSC_VER=1700 WIN32
But that didn't have any effect. Also, using '1600' instead of '1700' didn't help. Any ideas on what will?
I am working on a 32-bit Windows 7 system, if that's any help, and I'm using Qt 5.0.0.
You need binaries compiled for the Visual Studio 2012. Since there is no official (or unofficial) precompiled binaries available, you need to compile them by yourself.
This should not be complicated process, but it can be hard and frustrating for beginners to do to it, so I would suggest you to follow already given advice and to download VS2010 (afterall, it will take less time to download and install it than to compile Qt from source).
You have to use MSVC 2010, because the libraries are built using it. Try Visual C++ 2010 Express.
So it looks like with Digia taking Qt over from Nokia, that it's quite a mess to get a few simple downloads.
If I now go to the downloads page (http://qt-project.org/downloads), I see that there's a single Qt Creator 2.6.2 download for Windows. When I download this and run the installation, it seems that MinGW is no longer packaged along with it.
I tried to install MinGW 4.4 separately and then add a toolchain, but nothing runs when I try to compile my CMake-based project.
I then came across the Nokia website that is offering Qt SDK 1.2.1; however it now looks that they require you to create an account to be able to download the installer.
Downloading the full set of Qt libraries is probably what is going to be suggested, but that's not the best idea, because I'm basically writing up an installation procedure for a CMake-based, open-source set of libraries that I've been working on for a while (http://tudat.tudelft.nl).
Users aren't happy with having to download all the Qt libraries, since we're not using any of them.
I've completely run out of solutions now (and mind you, this only seems to be a problem for Windows, since when I install Qt Creator on Linux and Mac, GCC auto-detection seems to work fine).
So, in short, does someone have a simple install routine to install Qt Creator and get it to work with MinGW to compile a CMake-based project?
Thanks in advance!

PS: I know there are plenty of threads on Qt Creator + MinGW, but they all seem to be outdated now with the recent changes on both the Digia and Nokia websites.
I should add that the problem specifically is not that the toolchains can't be auto-detected under Windows. I've managed to get both MinGW and CMake auto-detected by Qt Creator by adding both to the system path. The problem is that when I then try to open the CMakeLists.txt file for my project, I can't select any generators.
Straight forward:
Install Qt Framework
Install MinGw
Install CMake
Install other stuff, e.g. git
Install Qt Creator
As you already mentioned, the chances are good that Qt Creator gets everything via auto detect. Nevertheless, you should check the Qt settings if everything is in place, e.g. the debugger.
The first time you open a cmake project, Qt Creator (should) ask for the tool chain to use. If you want to change the chain afterwards, delete the build files and cmake directories.

I´m looking for Qt SDK for windows that uses MingW as the compiler. Unfortunately, on the official download sites, I can only find the one that uses MSVC. Or just the library instead of the whole SDK.
Can anybody tell me where I can find the version I am looking for, or explain what I should do if I download QT library, QT creator and MingW seperately?
Here you can find pre-release builds using MinGW 4.7.
http://releases.qt-project.org/digia/5.0.1/latest/
They work well with the MinGW builds distributed here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/
The Qt builds come with Qt Creator, so you can install it and should be good to go after setting up your kits.
You can find binaries here:
http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/23002/
But then you ought to reconfigure installation manual or you may use this utility.
Some guy from Digia promised MinGW builds by the end of January, so you can wait instead.
