Instruction on how to build Qt Design Studio.
Qt Design Studio is based on Qt Creator
The Qt Design studio consists of:
- Qt Creator
- The branches are prefixed with qds. e.g. qds/dev or qds/4.6
- Studio components which are necessary for the used kit
We build with CMake + Ninja by default.
Windows notes:
- We use MSVC2019 on Windows, but MSVC2022 should also work. MinGW is not activly supported.
- you need "Desktop development with C++" + "Windows * SDK" (which is not default)
- Also, do not use a build path that is too long. For example, if you have a long user path or if one drive is involved, it can result in crazy build errors
- a good path is, for example, c:\dev. It is also good that it is not synced to one drive, which makes the machine slow during a compile.
since Qt Design Studio 4.6.0 we use Qt 6.7.3 to build it
