I install latest version of Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers.
I want to integrate Qt in Eclipse IDE.
How I can do that.I do not have QT install on my PC.
Thanks in advance.
I can't say how well it works, but there's a guide on the Qt Wiki: https://wiki.qt.io/Install_Eclipse_on_Linux
I'd personally say that Qt Creator is a lot better than Eclipse when it comes to building Qt applications, especially if you want to do anything with Designer files.

I'm asking for a good re-confirmation! (don't take it otherwise).. As I'm quite new in the Qt platform, I've found it quite confusing!! In Windows platform, you've: Qt 5.4.1 for Windows 32-bit (VS 2012, OpenGL) which is a whooping 644 MB file! & also the info about "Qt Creator" in download says:
Blockquote Qt Creator 3.3.1 is included in the Qt 5.4.1 binary packages. If you need a standalone installer, please select the file according to your operating system from the list below to get the latest Qt Creator for your computer
--- this a layman would understand as Qt Creator is the GUI of Qt IDE
&
also you need to download "Qt 5.4.1 for Windows" which is a whooping 644MB !!
so, WAIT FOR A MOMENT...
Blockquote is this the case? or I've to download just the Qt Creator for my work?
Marco's comment explains it all. I don't know why you're bothered with the size of the package. What i want to add is, you can download Qt alone if you'd like to use a different IDE eg. CodeBlocks and set it up for Qt development but it's advisable to use Qt creator with Qt. Qt creator can't build and debug any code (except perhaps, you want to use it for other reasons) without Qt because Qt contains the necessary tools for that purpose.
So download Qt Creator alone if you already have Qt or want to update your old Qt creator and download Qt 5.4.1 for Windows if you want to do development on windows and already have Qt creator installed or any other IDE that can be setup for Qt development.
I'm a C++ developer and I would like to develop applications for OSX and IOS with my Mac.
I'd like to use Xcode to achieve these goals but apparently the best solution (that involves C++) is Qt Creator. (Let me know if I'm wrong)
Can I use the free version of QT Creator (community - no license fee) to code in C++ for iOS/OSX and publish my apps on the Apple Store or do I need the indie mobile license?
Can QT be integrated in Xcode?
Thank you
I'm just getting into OS X and iOS development using Qt 5.3.2. It looks like that you use Qt Creator to create an iOS (or OS X) project. Then, Qt Creator makes use of Xcode for the build.
I've successfully created a OS X project using Qt Creator. It is a QML project with a C++ plugin that I created. So, I believe that you can use Qt Creator to create a pure C++ project for OS X. But give Qt Creator a shot and see if that is true.
Now, for iOS, I think you'll have to create a QML project. You can always use C++ to add functionality. However, I am having trouble getting a C++ plugin to compile in an iOS project. But, I think that it is just a matter of finding the solution.
The workflow for OSX/iOS app development is quite simple. You develop your application as usual in Qt Creator. Each time qmake is called on your code, it created an Xcode project xxx.xcodeproj where xxx is the application name specified in your .pro file.
Hence, when you have completed the development process, you can open such a project and finalize the app packaging/submission via xcode. The created project includes all the necessary framework dependencies and is ready to be archived, i.e. packaged for AppStore submission. The submission is a tedious task, see here for example.
You can absolutely submit the app to the AppStore, even with the community license. Mind that you are subject to LGPL. This aspect is treated in full detail in this recent blog post.
If you're developing for iOS and OS X only - use native tools, i. e. Xcode. Qt library and Qt Creator IDE are best used for cross-platform development, but not for native OS X development.
This is a question I've been wondering about for a long time.
How do you create an Interface for your program ?
It seems to much of a pain to position form controls and buttons using just code.
I'm looking for something similar to Visual Basic where you can drag and drop controls onto the window. But, I want to do this for applications written in C++.
Can It be done with compilers like MinGW on Eclipse ?
If you don't want to go the Qt route you can use ResEdit which is freeware. It will produce Win32 friendly .rc files that can be built with the MinGW resource compiler and used in Win32 applications.
There are some C++ Win32 wrapper libraries available though I'm not aware of any that are nearly as mature as Qt. I believe WinxGui is a port of WTL (or at least claims to be compatible with WTL) for GCC. It doesn't look like there has been much activity on the project site for a few years however.
What you're searching for is called Qt, both Eclipse and MinGW friendly.
Check out this nice article.
Qt toolkit is written in C++. So you can use it to develop GUI. It also comes with Qt Designer and Qt Creator IDE and tools.
Qt Reference Documentation
Qt Designer Manual
Qt Creator IDE and tools
And you can use MinGW to compile the code. You don't need to download MInGW separately. When installing Qt toolkik, it asks if you want to download MInGW also, just say yes to it. It will then download the correct version of MInGW itself.
The 1.7 GB download you look at is probably the full Qt SDK. This is not just Qt and documentation, but also includes the Qt Creator IDE with the Qt Designer "Form builder", the MinGW compiler, debugger, examples, demos, and some other stuff. There's also an "online installer" that allows you to select the packages you want before downloading everything. That's probably what I'd use if I were starting from scratch on Windows.
I am new to codeblocks and Qt. I would like to create some nice interfaces with buttons, lists, combo box and so on using Qt. Can someone help me, give me some links from where I can start my journey? I didn't find anywhere how to include qt designer in codeblocks in order to work with it.
Any help is appreciated.
P.S I am working in Ubuntu. I did install code::blocks 10.05 . I also have QT Designer, Creator, LInguist and Assistent.
When you have Qt Creator, you don't need anything else unless you have any specific preference for Code::Blocks or any other IDEs.
Qt Creator has an integrated debugging interface too (somewhat similar to Visual Studio).
Here is the Qt Creator manual and here you can find details on How to manage projects using Qt Creator.
If you already have all the Qt tools (Creator, Designer, etc.) then why not just use Qt Creator?
It is a wonderful little IDE and is perfect for Qt developing. I actually prefer using it on Ubuntu (on Windows I use the VS Add-In for VS 2010).
The only thing that takes getting used to is adding dependencies which you must directly edit the .pro file for. See http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmake-project-files.html
I would like to compile with MinGW on Windows. I am seeking for IDE (Visual Studio 2010 is out, because as far as I know it cannot use MinGW) with integrated SVN support like AnkhSVN plugin for Visual Studio 2010. One candidate is CodeBlocks. Does it have some SVN plugin? Or would you recommend another IDE? Thank you.
You can use Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers.
With the subclipse plugin you have accesses to svn as well

I use Eclipse with CDT, and SVN integration is very good.
I'm all for Eclipse CDT, it rocks.
However, you did mention you wanted something more lightweight.
A popular Windows and Linux alternative is Code::Blocks (http://www.codeblocks.org/).
Its a great open source C/C++ IDE and even comes bundled with MinGW.
EDIT: Also has SVN support, according to http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/7
You can also try netbeans, most people in my company use it now and they say it's faster than eclipse.
I still use eclipse, but since you don't want it you may want to try netbeans with svn plugin.
try http://qt.nokia.com/products/developer-tools
It was written for Qt but it can also be used for plain C++. Furthermore it has great support for CMake (if you are like me and do not like qmake).
I use Eclipse CDT at our school, the University of Advancing Technology in Tempe AZ. One of our students put together a package that's an all-in-one version of Eclipse CDT (Helios at the moment. Indigo real soon now.) + Subclipse + Boost + cppunit. It is targeted at Windows 7 only. If you wish, you can download this self extracting executable at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/341940/cdt.exe
I'm very partial to CodeLite. You can use it on Windows and Linux. It has support for Subversion, Qt, and wxWidgets.
