For the project, I find pulling critical system library software from third party repos is not usually the best thing to do. All our source and pre-built Windows binaries that we redistribute comes directly from the Qt web site (Nokia). Eric Bollengier tells me that anything from 4.6.2 through 4.7.4 work fine. This corresponds to what I am now seeing, but "officially" for the moment, 5.2.1 builds correctly only with 4.6.2. I think 5.2.2 will be with 4.7.4. Qt 4.8 is in beta, and we expect there may be some changes required to get it work, but we are a bit more worried about Qt 5, which is on its way from what I understand. > >>> The error message is misleading. >> >> What error message? > > "uic: File generated with too old version of Qt Designer" > > (this is generated by Qt4.2) It sounds like they got the test backwards.

They don't have a GUI builder (or didn't the last time I looked). I have programmed GUIs for Mac, Solaris, Windows, Gnome, wxWidgets, Qt, Tcl/Tk and my own dialog window GUI (for AutoCAD on DOS). Each has its advantages (except Windows) and disadvantages, but of all of them, I prefer working with Qt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
