According to this page, http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/supported-platforms.html , VS 2008 is what we tested Qt 4.7 with on Windows 7 and Vista 64-bit. That page also mentions Tier 2 support for VS 2010. VS 2005 is mentioned for Windows Vista (32-bit, I presume). Anyway, in suggesting VS 2008 I was trying to remain relatively current without going "bleeding edge" with VS 2010. I'm ok with VS 2005. > [1] http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Bb384632(v=VS.90).aspx Cheers, João _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
