Have you all tried the QGIS Code Examples in the past few years? They don't work with all the code changes that have been made. Could someone update them so that they're actually doable?
I'm atleast at the point now where I can start trying to build code in Visual Studio, which is a big improvement over where I was a few days ago. Getting the cmake-gui setup was painful, I had to use a combination of OSGeo4W64 directory, the QGIS repository, and the QGIS standalone install directory to get to this point. Better instructions on how to setup all of that on Windows would be great. I think the fact that I'm on a 64 bit system and the of stuff needed is in both Program Files and Program Files (x86) is breaking things. I'm also having to add a bunch of include directories to the actual Visual Studio project settings; I thought CMake was responsible for setting everything up? Please help make this setup process more intuitive and update the code examples so that they're actually usable.

Also, an unanswered part of this is do I need Windows SDK 7 with .NET 4? As mentioned, the installation was completely hung up on my Windows 8.1 machine. I was thinking that the SDK and .NET were part of the Visual Studio Express installation, but the INSTALL page seems to imply otherwise. Do I instead need Windows 8.1 SDK with .NET 4.5 since I'm running Windows 8.1? Or will the Visual Studio Express 2010 installation be sufficient? If I need Windows SDK 7 with .NET 4 I may be in troble...

If you want to use the dependencies from OSGeo4W, you'll have to use the tools they were build with (especially the C++ dependencies like Qt; ie. VC2008 on 32bit and VC2010 on 64bit). If you build your own Qt using VC 2013 might also be an option. But I'd recommend to stick to INSTALL and use the dependencies from OSGeo4W. Jürgen -- Jürgen E.
