Importing Qt Projects

Use the Qt Project import wizard to import Qt-based projects based on Qt SDKs integrated into S60. The wizard walks you through the process of importing a Qt project, stored as a .pro file.

To import a Qt project:

  1. Launch the importer
  2. Select type of Qt project
  3. Select .pro file to import
  4. Choose build targets

NOTE If everything is built correctly, the QtCore.lib should be in your SDK's <platform> <target> UDEB directory. If this library is missing, then the SDK will not show up as a supported SDK-target in the build configurations.

NOTE There must be at least one recognized SDK installed before you can create a project. See the SDK Preferences panel to determine if the installed SDKs are recognized by Carbide.c++ IDE. If the SDK you have is not recognized, you may still be able to add it to the Discovered Symbian OS SDK list.

Select .pro file to import

Use the Build Targets page in the File Import Wizard to select which SDKs and build configurations to associate with the project, then click Finish. The .pro file is imported and a new project created in the Project Explorer view.

Filter build configurations that don't contain Qt support

Enable to filter out of the SDKs and Build Configurations list any SDK or build configurations that Qt does not support. If disabled, all SDKs are shown and available for selection, whether they support Qt or not. The default setting is enabled.
