Hi, I'm a beginner at C++ and I was wondering if I could get some help with making a gui using QT. Well not really help on making a gui more like help on seeing if I installed QT properly onto my computer. I downloaded the Qt sdk and ran it like normal and let it do all the work. What I'm wondering is do I have to add a path and how can I tell I did everything properly? Should the Qt sdk just do everything on its own or do I have to do additional stuff? Also could somebody show me a guide to using Qt?

Also can you program on Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 with the added library? I'm assuming yes because it is a library and all you have to do is include the stuff, but I could be wrong be cause Qt also gave you a IDE or compiler (just checking to be sure).

I also try to compile some simple example programs, but it comes up with something like "cannot find #include <QtGui>" or something like that. Which leads me to thinking I need to add a path or something, but I'm not exactly sure where to look...

Any help is really appreciated and thank you.

Hi
First of all Qt is not a compiler, it's just an IDE, it's based on the gcc, yet you can use borland C++ or MS VC++ once you have Qt onboard.

I'm not sure what do you mean by "do all the work".
In Visual Studio, of course you have to assign a path for the Qt Libs in case you are gonna code in MSVC++ editor. you can do that from the project settings.

It will teach you all you need about using Qt under Linux and/or Windows platforms.

Thanks I hope this helps. Is it alright if I ask some questions if I have some problems along the way?

If you download QT SDK it has lots of application samples and you can also start from here
