Developing C++ QT applications using Eclipse

You can easily develop C++ QT applications with Eclipse CDT! There is no need for another plugin.

It is important to define the correct libs in the Eclipse project settings. You can find out the correct g++ command string by using qmake(-qt4).

1. Create a new C++ project.
2. Add a source file (e.g. the hello world program from the QT4 tutorial)
3. Use a shell to navigate to the source folder of your hello world program.
4. Execute "qmake -project && qmake && make" (or qmake-qt4 if you want to use QT4)
   
5. You should see the correct g++ line.
6. Configure your Eclipse project to use the g++ settings.

My project settings (Kubuntu Gutsy, QT4):




You can now delete the files that were created by qtmake and use Eclipse CDT for developing your QT applications. Have fun!
