Visual Studio App Wizard for Qt
Message 1 in thread
I want to know if anyone would be interested in an application wizard
for Microsoft Visual Studio. This would be aimed at people who want to
use the open source version of Qt with the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler
from within the Visual Studio IDE. ( Of course, you would need a patched
version of the Qt open source libs in the first place. ) All this would
do is give you a new project wizard that creates an empty Qt app that
would build right away. It would create the files you need and set up
all the compiler and linker options and the special build rules for the
UIC and MOC tools.
If there is demand for this, what would be the best way to distribute
it? An installer package? The source files? Also, what about the legal
issues? Trolltech has said repeatedly that they consider use of open
source Qt with Visual Studio a no-no and that they consider the visual
studio integration that comes with the commercial package one of the
ways in which they can differentiate between the open source and the
commercial versions in their business model. Should open source Qt and
Visual Studio be avoided?
