Thanks for the suggestion and I think it is the way to go. My personal preference would be to just setup a dual boot as I've used VMWare and it's fairly sluggish. However, I've been tasked with trying to setup something that works on windows. I'm not sure what you mean by a cross compiler. My target is x86 hardware with an atom proc. It's currently running Win7 embedded and I can build on a windows desktop using Visual Studio and run on the target. Shouldn't I be able to use Creator with MingW as the tool chain and a Qt linux libs? _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
