Trouble using Qt with Visual Studio

Question

I am looking to do Qt development with Visual Studio 2005.

I have built the Qt libraries for Visual C++ and have downloaded the Qt plug-in using the steps outlined here.

I've set the QTDIR environment variable to point to the newly built Qt environment (C:\Qt\vc).

However, when I start Visual Studio, I get the following message:

  These Qt versions are inaccessible: 
  vc in c:\Qt\vc.
  Make sure that you have read access to all files in your Qt directories.

(And I definitely have read access)

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

I fixed it. The key is to point QTDIR to the qt directory within the environment, so in my case c:\Qt\vc\qt. The error message is just not very intuitive.
