IDEs with QT4

eantoranz · 01-26-2006, 01:42 PM

I'm trying to work with QT4.. just learning. I can't use kdevelop cause it's in "QT3 stage" ;-), so I have being fiddling a little with a plain text editor.

I'm starting to wonder if it's possible to work with QT4 and anjuta (or any other capable IDE).

I think it's not gonna be so easy because of the use of the ui files that have to be precompiled and so on... but I'd like to hear your comments.

So long as you can use the qmake you should be okay. Because it is the qmake that does the compiling of the .ui files.

Having said that I've not tried it!

all the best,

graeme

Try asking your question in the KDE developer forums or mailing lists. I am sure they will give you a solution since a lot of them are porting their apps to QT 4.x.

The current subversion Lazarus is Qt4 capable.

The next stable release also will be.

I've just finished a >200KB source code project in Qt4, using Kdevelop 3. It doesn't support it 'from the box', but doesn't require much attention. What you need to do is:
* add path to Qt4 to PATH passed to g++
* use external Designer instead of the built-in one
* write your own subclassing .h and .cpp file (the ones for Qt3 don't work)

So, I had to do small things at the beginning, then only Designer usage is different. All build correctly.

Here is a link to a page which details how you can compile a Qt project from the command line.

Hope this helps

KDevelop 3.3.x does support qt4. It says here: http://www.kdevelop.org/index.html?f.../features.html
Personally, I use Qt 4 Designer to generate forms and I write the code in KDevelop. I had to add a few lines to the .pro file the first time but everything else is done by KDevelop.

I've been using Eclipse/CDT and it has been doing the job with relative ease.

Spell properly please.

Resources for learning Qt? Apart from Mark Summerfield's books and doc.qt.nokia.com, there's also a very good Qt4 tutorial on Zetcode:

http://zetcode.com/tutorials/pyqt4/

As for the Project menu, well, obviously the UI's been redesigned. You can't get it again. The options to start and open projects is in the File menu, and you can get further options by right-clicking on the Projects tree.
