The situation is exactly the same for us and we don't really try. We ship a MSVC2010-32 binary plugin when we ship binaries, but since we're one of those projects that's in eternal alpha with no real release cycle, it's usually a matter of just telling people to build their own. And since as far as I can tell our tools are used more for the non-widget components than the widget components, it doesn't really feel like a priority for us. If I ever get around to overhauling the codebase like I've been meaning to for ages, I'll probably make our designer.pro check the mkspec and pop a warning if you're not building on Windows against something that isn't MSVC2010-32. /s/ Adam _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
