Visual Studio 2005 with QT

BTW, you also can get that working by invoking 'vcvars32.bat' from that directory before starting the Qt build script, just like

"E:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcvars32.bat"
<start building Qt here>

That worked. Now, when I do the nmake step I get the following:

qvector.cpp
qbytearray.cpp
..\..\corelib\tools\qbytearray.cpp(37) : fatal error C1083:
file: 'zlib.h': No such file or directory

PS: I am running a fully installed version of .Net 2005 professional.

Almost... I got it to completely install. I have started through now on the first example, the hello world program:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QLabel>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  QApplication app(argc, argv);
  QLabel *label = new QLabel("Hello World!");
  label->show();
  return app.exec();
}

I followed through and hade it make me the vcproj file. Following this, I opened the file and began with a compile. Here is the error I received:

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'QtGuid4.lib'

As for environment variables, here is what I have done:

Prepended QT bin directory to system variables PATH.
Added QMAKESPEC win32-mscvc2005 to user variables.

Any ideas what I am missing?

... the Qt 'LIB' dir to be added to 'LIB'?

That's not it, here is some more information:

It is looking for "QTguid4.lib." This file is NOT in the lib directory. "QTgui4.lib" however, is in the directory. I copied it and renamed the copy to include the 'd'. This worked to skip that file, then it wanted "QTCored4.lib" again, when only "QTCore4.lib" is in the directory. Why would this extra d be around?

'd' usually stands for the Debug version...

So, am I missing the debug files? How would I go about getting them?

Since Qt comes in source code, I fear the answer is to build them.

Haha great, here goes another hour. lol

Check the mails that say: 'Wanna buy a faster CPU?' *duck* ;o)

lol I am testing this on my laptop before messing with my computer. My computer is a dual 3.4 xeon. I can't afford much faster than that. :P

Hey, JKR, if you have an additional minute, want to check this question out?

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Microsoft/Development/.NET/Visual_Studio_.NET_2005/Q_22400108.html

(I thought after a couple years with C++ I would be beyond these simple problems.. ugh.. lol)

If that other Q is about unmanaged C++. you are posting in the wrong area. And, no, I don't have an idea right now...

Finally got that one worked out. Now just get VS to let me debug.. lol
