I had been using VS2013 for some time and a Qt Tools tab was present (as shown in the screenshot below) after installing Qt Visual Studio Tools
PROBLEM: Now I have installed VS 2019 Community edition. I have already installed Qt Visual Studio Tools extension. But still, the Qt tab is missing in the ribbon (as shown in the screenshot below). Due to this, I am also not able to set the path of the Qt exe correctly.
PS: Qt extension is definitely installed properly because when I try to create a new project, it shows the various options to create Qt project.
In Visual Studio 2019 theQt VS Tools menu is a sub-menu in the Extensions menu.
Note: the binaries created with VS2013 are not compatible with VS2019, for it to work you need Qt build with Visual Studio 2015 or 2017.
My setup consists of Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 and Qt 5.5.1. For the Debugger(s) I use CDB from the Windows SDK. I use both toolchains, 32bit and 64bit.
To clean up my machine, I recently deinstalled all Microsoft Visual Studio stuff including the debuggers. Now, after the new installation of all the tools, I am not able to set up the 64bit debugger anymore. The interesting thing is that both debuggers are correctly autodetected under the Debuggers tab Tools -> Options -> Debuggers.
Under the Kits tab, I see the yellow triangle on the 64bit entry. I also see that None is selected in the Debugger line. But I am not able to change this setting because it is deactivated.
I finally found a solution to this problem by editing a Qt Creator configuration file manually. The file toolchains.xml is found here in Windows 7:
%APPDATA%\Roaming\QtProject\qtcreator
Additional Note:
Since the original post, I've updated to Visual Studio 2015 Express and Qt 5.6. This environment is a lot simpler to set up than VS2013.
Im having problems linking Winmm.lib to Qt creator, when I try to link it the library file dialog box turns red and next button is disabled.
Im using Microsoft SDKs Winmm.lib that comes with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, qtcreator5 and mingw.
Help please.
When linking against libraries from the Microsoft Windows SDK, you need to be sure to use the Visual C++ 2010 or Visual C++ 2012 compiler and not the MinGW compiler. Visual C++ and MinGW create different and incompatible binaries and can't be linked interchangeably. If there is a library you want to use with MinGW, make sure to build it from source against MinGW. The same goes for Visual C++ 2010 and Visual C++ 2012.
How to install qt add-in (for Qt 4x) for Visual Studio 2012?
Installator told that there are no supported version on Visual studio is installed.
UPDATE:
Exact msvs 2012, exact Qt Addin 1.1.xxx (not 1.2.xxx)
This answer indicates that it is possible with Qt VS Add-in 1.2.2, though there are some limitations to its support of Qt 4.x. As far as full-blown support for Qt 4.x in VS 2012, I'm afraid that it may not be possible.
If you really need this support, I'd suggest requesting it via the Qt Project forums or their JIRA bug tracking system.
I am using the Visual C++ 2010 compiler. How can Qt be compiled in Visual C++?
The current version of Qt (4.6) doesn't support Visual Studio 2010:
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/supported-platforms.html
However as you can see on that link, Qt 4.7 does plan to support it.
Can you use Visual Studio 2008 instead? I have been using it with the Qt plugin. You might need the full version of VS 2008 though - I don't think you can install the Qt plugin in the Express version.
If the full version of Visual Studio 2008 isn't an option, you might be better off using Eclipse with Qt integration, or QtCreator (available from the Qt website.) If you are planning on compiling your Qt project on other platforms, one of these would probably be a better choice in any case, since the Visual Studio project format doesn't translate to other platforms (to my knowledge.)
if you want, I can send you a detailed description of the installation and compile procedure with Visual Studio 2008
