Dev environment

Hey! Interested in what you have going on here and was hoping to contribute in some way... though, I'm having the toughest time getting the dev environment up and running (first time using QT).

Downloaded QT (5.2.0) and a MinGW compiler (4.8.1) but cannot get it working. The project always complains that the mingw compiler cannot produce code for the version of the QT framework.

Oh, I am on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.

Any ideas?

Oh, cool! Definitely check it out, QT is a pretty cool tech. Although the source code is another matter, it's also my first time using QT.

I think your setup checks out, i'd say it's more likely a configuration issue.
I've used that version in the past but i can't give any details on it right now because i moved on to QT 5.6, Mingw492.

https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.6/5.6.0/qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw492-5.6.0.exe

If you download the whole package including the qtcreator it should come with pre-configured setup but if you get it from the archive you have to set up the compiler yourself.

Currently using this one myself:

https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qtcreator/3.6/3.6.1/

They have so many i don't know which one comes with qtcreator prepackaged.

I'll drop you some images that might be helpful as soon as i figure you how to do that.

Ahh, lovely! Downloaded that package, added mingw /bin and Tools/bin directories to my path and voila! Works beautifully. Thanks for the detailed answer and pictures -- they all helped! Closing issue!
