OK this is what you want: Qt and Minimalist GNU MinGW is minimalist GNU for windows - compiler toolset etc and the above installer will prompt you to download and install it which is what you need to do. Then you have to use MinGW to compile the Qt libraries. No MFC classes required, no VC required. I am doing it now so will let you know what you have to do to compile Qt... oh i am working so hard now...

Subject: compiling programs

ok open up Assistant (Start Menu->Qt->Assistant) and read the "Tutorial and Examples" section basically you need to use the Qt 4 Command Prompt and the qmake tool this will build an exe in a release directory all works smooth for me on a machine with no other windows development environment

yes it all looks fine and normal - in fact way better than normal - will play and let you know how I get on: am gonna try and write a basic app to display a shape object from a file and change its properties. If I can do all that we're in business.

looks much more flexible than VC++ - think we can build something nice

Subject: cannot find a nice windows IDE that supports Qt / qmake though

Kdevelop on linux has built in qt support. We may want to develop on linux and use a cross compiler to compile the windows version - never have to leave linux for dev but I don't know how hard that is...

ah that was my next question - where's the fucking IDE?

I thought Qt was that

don't mind developing under linux though if we have to. when you say that Kdevelop has Qt support built in, does that mean we can use it like visual studio: debug, messaging. the lot?
