How do I create a simple Qt console application in C++?

Question

I was trying to create a simple console application to try out Qt\'s XML parser. I started a project in VS2008 and got this template:

int main(int argc, char         


        

Answer 1

I managed to create a simple console "hello world" with QT Creator

used creator 2.4.1 and QT 4.8.0 on windows 7

two ways to do this

Plain C++

do the following

1. File- new file project
2. under projects select : other Project
3. select "Plain C++ Project"
4. enter project name 5.Targets select Desktop 'tick it'
5. project managment just click next
6. you can use c++ commands as normal c++

or

QT Console

1. File- new file project
2. under projects select : other Project
3. select QT Console Application
4. Targets select Desktop 'tick it'
5. project managment just click next
6. add the following lines (all the C++ includes you need)
7. add "#include 'iostream' "
8. add "using namespace std; "
9. after QCoreApplication a(int argc, cghar *argv[]) 10 add variables, and your program code..

example: for QT console "hello world"

file - new file project 'project name '

other projects - QT Console Application

Targets select 'Desktop'

project management - next

code:

    #include <QtCore/QCoreApplication>
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
     QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
     cout<<" hello world";
     return a.exec();
     }

ctrl -R to run

compilers used for above MSVC 2010 (QT SDK) , and minGW(QT SDK)

hope this helps someone

As I have just started to use QT recently and also searched the Www for info and examples to get started with simple examples still searching...
