A quick update - after trying with FF, Opera and Chrome finally managed to get the newer version of the Creator - with a different computer. Which is supposed to have identical setup...oh well afternoon well spent..

Thanks to everybody who offered help...

I was gonna say, I used IE6 for that link and it showed up fine..

Note that the "latest" virtual directory points to the latest folder e.g. ftp://ftp.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator/snapshots/2010-03-09/
but it's not always a cert that the latest folder contains the latest of any particular flavour of build..

e.g. yesterday latest was pointing to 2010-03-08 but that folder didnt contain any windows binary version of qt.. this might lead to confusion..

could any one help me to get this working. followed the wiki until you get to the bit that says to press the rebuild button to turn the cross from red to green tick. at this point it starts doing the right thing then it stops with this error message.

can any body help me sort this out. i appritiate it is a technical preview but maybe this is a bug or the wiki needs more infomation.

That's just a compiler warning, i wouldnt have expected it to cause the process to fail..

Continue with the rest of the wiki and see what happens; you might not even need the debugging helper for the maemo device (I'm not sure if debugging on device works, actually.. I'm debugging the windows version of my apps, and then just using madde to build for the device, not debug)

The only thing I note that your setup has difered from mine (and mine was flawless as per the wiki) is that youre installing on D
(shouldnt make a difference)

I also made sure it used the qtcreator from the wiki (feb 24) rather than any of the later ones that are built for windows, and I had the proper qtcreator official installed first (version 2010.02 or something..)

yeh i am installing to drive d as its the only place with space. this shouldnt make a diffrence but i did wonder weather it had. hmm i thought i had tryed that version befor but u say u have the normal desktop version installed as well?? and which libary should i download the windows ones or the maemo 5 src ? any way now i have had a rest im gonna give it a go again.

I downloaded the latest official one from nokia (1.3.1 i think, or 2010.02.1 depending on where you look) here:
http://qt.nokia.com/products/platform/qt-for-windows
which eventully links through to this download url:
http://get.qt.nokia.com/qtsdk/qt-sdk...-2010.02.1.exe


Then I downloaded the 1.3.80 from the ftp link posted in the wiki, but there is a 1.3.81 available now


If you don't download the big one from nokia, some tools and Qt libs are missing, i think, for the latest builds..


Agreed D drive shouldnt make a difference; it was just something I noticed that differed..

i will try your links and do it that way. but the state i am in now is that i can not get the red cross green but i didnt bother with it because you said i didnt have to. so i can start a build it fails and lists every include saying its not a file.

any ideas sorry i am a good programmer but most of my development has been in java and javame. as the n900 doesnt support them i thought maybe it was time to brush up on my c++ skills as im a game programmer i wanted to use a gui system similer to java and i found qt.

do i need to include the libs somewere in the project? any help would be much appritaited.

my app built in scratchbox.

does qt creator support subversion as well ?

sorry for the non related question.

cheers you have been a massiv help.

I think i found a bug if you have a project that is hosted in svn. Then you check it out and add it to qt creator using the .pro file. when you try and veiw the source or open any folder with the .svn file in it. it will crash out and ask you to debug qt creator.

would any one like to test this please befor a bugzilla post is made?

I fixed the crashing from happending every time by deleting the .svn file in every folder of the project. This is not realy ideal and is more of a work around then a fix.

ok i think i have got it all installed properlly now i have a green tick any way and can build for maemo device but it doesnt find any of the includes can any 2 help?
