Best fit development environment for c++

Post by mink » Thu Jan 29, 2015 9:54 am

Hi,

I am struggling to set up a development environment for QCad development in C++.

Until now, without success. I downloaded Qt everywhere; but fail to configure it on a Windows 7 machine. Is there any cookbook or documentation with step by step instructions? (NB: the target system is definitely Windows, however I would not care if the development environment would be linux ...)

Any ideas?

Regards,

Ulrich

PS: I want to thank for the answers I got so far! I adore your speed and technical excelence!

Brief compilation instructions for Windows are available at:

I'm using cygwin as shell and jom instead of nmake under Windows, but the Windows command line and nmake will also work.

Thanks for your answer. It help to investigate into the correct direction: to set the environment variables (a little bit more as the vsvars32.bat thing...). But right now, I have nmake building Qt in my cygwin window (at least a unix-like environment! great!), and it seems to be work okay!

Ulrich
