- Uncompress the files into the directory you want to install Qt into; e.g., C:\Qt\4.4.3.
Note: The install path must not contain any spaces.
- Environment variables
In order to build and use Qt, the PATH environment variable needs to be extended:
PATH - to locate qmake, moc and other Qt tools
This is done by adding c:\Qt\4.4.3\bin to the PATH variable.
For newer versions of Windows, PATH can be extended through "Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment variables" and for older versions by editing c:\autoexec.bat.
Make sure the enviroment variables for your compiler are set. Visual Studio includes vcvars32.bat for that purpose - or simply use the "Visual Studio Command Prompt" from the Start menu.
- Configuring Qt
To configure Qt for Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC, type the following:
C:
cd \Qt\4.4.3
configure -platform win32-msvc2005 -xplatform wincewm50pocket-msvc2005
If you want to configure Qt for another platform or with other options, type configure -help to get a list of all available options. See the README file for the list of supported platforms.
- Building Qt
Now, to build Qt you first have to update your PATH, INCLUDE and LIB paths to point to the correct resources for your target platforms. For a default installation of the Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK, this is done with the following commands:
set INCLUDE=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\ce\include;C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce500\Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK\Include\Armv4i
set LIB=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\ce\lib\armv4i;C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce500\Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK\Lib\ARMV4I
set PATH=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\ce\bin\x86_arm;%PATH%
We provide a convenience script for this purpose, called setcepaths. Simply type:
setcepaths wincewm50pocket-msvc2005
Then to build Qt type:
nmake
- That's all. Qt is now installed.
To get started with Qt, you can check out the examples found in the examples directory of your Qt installation. The documentation can be found in doc\html.
Remember: If you reconfigure Qt for a different platform, make sure you start with a new clean console to get rid of the platform dependent include directories.
