Which compiler for a c++ QGIS custom app

[Denis Rouzaud]

Hi all,

I am a bit lost at trying to build a custom QGIS app on a windows 7.

I have installed QGIS libs, Qt libs and minGW using osgeo4w installer
(thanks to Nathan's advices).
I have also installed Qt Creator 3.0.

Now in creator, I have configured Qt version as Qt 4.7. using
c:\osgeo4w\bin\qmake.exe.

But I can't manage to find the right compiler to use for this version.
With all the compilers I tried, it says "none of the compiler can
produce code for this version of Qt".

Does someone know which compiler to use? Can't I use one embedded in
osgeo package?

PS: I don't have visual studio installed, and I would like to avoid
installing it.

Thanks a lot,

Denis

mingw using the osgeo4w installer? That might be there for GRASS.

But QGIS and Qt in OSGeo4W is built with Visual C++ not MinGW. You can't use
OSGeo4W's Qt with MinGW.

Sorry, I didn't do that for years - should also be possible, but I suppose it
takes some work.

Hi Jürgen,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

It seems I should finally use Visual C++.
I will give it a try this weekend!

Thanks again and happy release ;)

I installed Visual Studio Express 2013, and it seems the compiler given with (version 12.0) is not compliant with Qt libs from the osgeo package.

Do you know if I should I restrict to a given version of the compiler? Which one has been used for building osgeo’s qt lib?
I saw that Nathan is using version 9.0.

Thanks a lot,
Denis

The supported version is VS 2008. I have never tried building with
anything else.

Right, if you want to use Qt from OSGeo4W you need to you the same compiler as
the one used to build Qt. That is 2008 for 32bit and 2010 for 64bit.
