Recently I downloaded Qt 5.6
I didn't knew that installing visual studio is necessary to build with Qt.
I have a poor internet connection and somehow managed to download Qt. But now is it necessary to install visual studio of 7 GiBs which is nearly impossible for me to download with my shitty kind of internet? I had searched on google and found that MinGW can be used to build with Qt. Please help me to configure it.
You can download a pre-build version of Qt, building it yourself is not necessary or recommended for beginners:
http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.6/5.6.0/
The qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw492-5.6.0.exe comes with MinGW 4.9.2 bundled.
Building Qt from sources can take many hours on a slow machine, and potentially fail for a number of reasons, also it has 3rd party requirements such as perl and python.

The official Arduino IDE has some nice features, such as the board and library management, which works relatively well. However, when it comes to building. It only supports .ino files, while my project has .hpp and .cpp files, just like any regular C++ project. I tried things like the VS Code plugin for Arduino, but that also uses .ino files.
The only alternative I found is Sloeber, which is an Eclipse plugin, and it has the usual problem of Eclipse plugins that I can either install it or not. I had a previous version installed, but when I tried to update it, it completely broke my Eclipse installation. I tried installing the latest version, but it doesn't work.
Is there any alternative to sloeber? I'd prefer something that can be used from the command line, but an IDE is just fine too.

Question is - how to develop on Windows platform with comfort, using CMake as primary configuration tool. What I mean is IDE or something, that parse CMake config and help you to include external hpp files for example. I know that Qt Creator can (it support MSVC compiler), but Qt Creator sometimes fail to save file with error "Can't write to disk. Is it full". Seems like bug. And that's all.
What I mean is not generate .sln for Visual Studio.
Also I tried VS 2017 RC, but its crashing constantly with my project.
P.S. I tried Visual Studio with separate .sln, but it's really uncomfortably to support two different configs.
Thanks
Try out KDevelop 5 for Windows, it has great CMake support, as well as Clang based language features.

I can't find where to download libvlc.
In fact I already use it in a Windows application I'm developping but I don't remember where I got it and wanted to have a more recent version and the licence info as I read it is LGPL but still not sure.
Thanks in advance.
In their wiki page :
Warning: Please, do not put pre-release test binaries or git-compiles
on software sites or on user-forums. We've had bad experiences with
this before and we do not appreciate it.
It seems that they want you to pull the code and compile it yourself.
this the code page:
https://wiki.videolan.org/GetTheSource/
and this instruction on windows:
https://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile/
Good luck!
Just reinstall [standard] vlc. It knows where it was installed previously and has a copy of the library. No need to install the library separately. If you used standard install, this will be:
C:Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC
and the libraries will be in there

I'm trying to get FreeGLUT working. For a reason I don't get, no binaries are distributed. Where can I download the .lib and the .dll files?
You can download them at FreeGLut download page, in section Prepackaged Releases
Direct Link
Please note it's community-maintained. Library authors only do provide source code.
Citation from the page itself:
If you have problems with these packages, please contact their maintainers - we of the freeglut team probably can't help.
If you provide the compilation/linking logs from your attempts with source distribution, we could find a reason for it not working as well.

I would like to use some cross platform C++ library for starting, stopping and getting standard output for processes. I found and I would like to use C++ POCO libraries:
are these good?
What's the best alternatives? I use Boost and they have Boost Process, but is not part of the official release and AFAIK it won't be neither very soon (development stopped at 2008).
Can you advise me a bit on this POCO lib or other?
I don't have any direct experience with the Processes lib in POCO but I'm a big fan of the project in general and the networking and threading libs in particular. Works great under Windows (MinGW & VS), OS X, and Linux.
I have used POCO cross-platform for iOS/Android and it was very straightforward, dynamic pointers, threading and much much more. There was some threshold on getting it running at first, but once first sample was running: no problems... You may want to check out our entire project here
