Compilation of Qt 4.6.3 under Windows 7 with phono...

Note: this is only usefull if you are using msvc 2005. For 2008 the dlls come with the installation, and with 2010 Qt 4.6.x does not compile anyway. In previous posts I have already described problems and solutions for the compilation of Qt with phonon. Here is my latest approach: First one needs to install the SDK. Though I am working with windows 7 the correct version is still v6.1 (Windows SDK for Windows Server...

fixes for Qt plugin makefiles

There are many usefull Qt plugins, such as qwt, qextserialport, qxt and others. With a new major version of Qt, or a new version of a compiler I have to recompile the plugins to make sure everything is working well together. However many plugins are not compilable from comandline such that the resulting files can easily be deployed. Also they should be compilable with mingw and msvc.

Windows SDK 7 messed up

I am trying to set up the Windows SDK environment for compilation of an other C++ project (Qt phonon library). However the script seems to be totally broken. It does not work and destroys the path variable. This is what the path looks like before anything is called: C:\Users\Matthias>PATH PATH=C:\Program Files\PC Connectivity Solution\;C:\Program Files\MiKTeX...

Qt SpinBox Widget with Scientific Notation

Unfortunately Qt Software does not offer such a solution nor is it trivial to implement. With the hints I got in some public web forums I implementet the solution provided here. This widget is derived from QDoubleSpinBox. It uses a decimal value of 1000 (that is more...

Compilation of Phonon under Windows XP

The original documentation of Trolltech was not sufficient to get me compile the phonon.dll and phonon_ds94.dll under Windows XP. Therefore you find here a description of what I did to get it compile. I use Visual Studio 2005 and the corresponding nmake compiler. The description here thus relates to this compiler. If it works the same with the 2008 Version I do not know. I did not test mingw, but since the Qt docs itself...
