A gadget is nothing more than some html, images, javascript, xml, css, put into a .zip file and then r...
Right now I have some libraries that link easily to Visual Studio projects but I can't figure out how to link them with Qt. My idea is to write a VS project that wraps the functionality I need from the libraries, then compile that to a library which can be linked to Qt.

We have a solution with 15 projects, which all has code analysis enabled. The solution easily takes 60+ seconds to build, which is a very long time when sitting waiting.

Is ther...
