  Dev-C++ 5 compiling instructions
  This page gives you some instructions how to compile Qt3/Win Free with Dev-C++.

  Requirements
    a.. Windows NT, 2000 or XP (it has not been tested on Windows 9.x) 
    b.. MinGW 
    c.. Dev-C++ 5 
    d.. Qt-3/Win Free sources 
  Installing Dev-C++ already containing MinGW
    a.. Download Dev-C++ 5 with Mingw/GCC (7.6MB only!) from www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html. 
    b.. Install Dev-C++ 5, do not enable 'Class Browsing', if you are ask for 
    c.. or disable 'Class Browsing' in the menu 'Tools/Editor Options' 
  Installing Dev-C++ and MinGW seperate
    a.. Download and install the latest full MinGW Package from http://www.mingw.org - currently this is MinGW-3.2.0-rc-3.exe.
    If you don't want to download 50MB, you need at least the binaries of gcc-core, gcc-g++, w32api, mingw-runtime, binutils, gdb, mingw32-make (7 files, 19MB) 
    b.. Download 'Dev-C++ 5 executable only' from www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html (2.1 MB). 
    c.. Install Dev-C++ 5, do not enable 'Class Browsing', if you are ask for 
    d.. or disable 'Class Browsing' in the menu 'Tools/Editor Options'. 
    e.. add your MinGW\bin path to Dev-C++ in 'Tools/Compiler Options/Directories' or add your MinGW\bin path to the PATH variable. 
  Get the Qt3/Win Free sources
    a.. by downloading a Qt-3 source snapshot from the KDE-Cygwin snapshot area (13.8MB). 
    b.. or from the cvs repository: 
    first connect to the cvs server

C:\source> cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/kde-cygwin loginenter empty password
    then checkout the sources with 
C:\source> cvs -z6 -d :pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/kde-cygwin co -r QT_WIN32_3_3_BRANCH qt-3Later you can update the sources by 
C:\source\qt-3> cvs -z6 updateor if you only what to update the 'src' directory (up is short for update) 
C:\source\qt-3\src> cvs -z6 upGenerating essential tools and files
    a.. Open a cmd shell 
    b.. Setup Qt and MinGW environment, e.g. Qt in 'C:\source\qt-3', and MinGW in 'C:\Programs\MinGW' or C:\Program\Dev-Cpp (please adjust the paths to your needs) 
 C:\source> set QTDIR=C:\source\qt-3
 C:\source> set MINGW=C:\Programs\MinGW
 C:\source> set PATH=%QTDIR%\bin;%MINGW%\bin;%PATH%
 

a.. Build essential tools by command line

The script first creates link_includes.exe and configure.exe which are
needed for bootstrap the build process. link_includes copies all
relevant Qt-headers into the include-directory. configure.exe is the
replacement for the ./configure-script under Unix/Linux. After that,
qmake.exe and moc.exe is build.
C:\source> cd C:\source\qt-3
C:\source\qt-3>configure-mingw.bat -debug 

 For a full list of options see bin\configure.exe -help. 
  a.. Stop the compilation if it has finished building 'qt-3\bin\qmake.exe'  
 

 a.. Generating Dev-C++ importable files
 Build *.dsp files which could be imported by Dev-C++ with
 C:\source\qt-3> set QMAKESPEC=win32-msvc -debug
C:\source\qt-3> bin\configure.exe
and also generate Makefiles for the special Qt build process by calling again:
 C:\source\qt-3>configure-mingw.bat -debug

a..  Break if it has finished building moc and close the cmd shell. 
 
Using Dev-C++
  For all Qt project use this procedure: 

    a.. Open Dev-C++ and import the *.dsp file by the menu function 'File/Import' (e.g. 'qt-3\examples\hello\hello.dsp') 
    b.. Enable 'Use custom Makefile' in 'Project/Project Options/Makefile' and choose 'Makefile' in the folder of your project (e.g. 'qt-3\examples\hello\Makefile') 
  Compiling the Qt libraries
  You must compile both *.dsp files in the 'qt-3\src' folder. 
  Dev-C++ 5 Notes
    a.. MinGW does not work within a cygwin shell or with sh.exe in your search path. You must remove cygwin\bin from your PATH or temporary rename your cygwin folder. 
    b.. After closing Dev-C++, next time opening a project sometimes it can't find the Makefile any more, just select it once again.
