Hi Joerg,
Thanks for your responses, I've now got this working.
To be honest I pretty much knew what the problem was (yeah really!) but
was trying to emphasis what a new user might experience. Downloading the
add-in and reading the docs gave me no indication that no (batteries)
studio libs are included and reconfiguring the GPL setup and rebuild is
required.
For me the benefit of the Visual Studio integration Add-in under GPL is
the ability to test library contributions using the Microsoft compiler.
Having installed Qt under GPL, I've benefited from the delivery of
release & now debug built MinGW libs. But in order to test the Microsoft
compiler built projects, I've got to overwrite the Qt libs. Hence MinGW
& studio cannot coexist. This is a big PITA.
I manage this quite well within my project files by creating a subdir
for VisualStudio eg:
win32 {
win32-g++ {
DESTDIR = $$BUILD_SUBDIR
} else {
DESTDIR = $$BUILD_SUBDIR/VisualStudio
}
}
Then I only need to install into a common lib path in order to switch
builds.
Would this approach have any merit within the Qt project files OR is
there a way of configuring where the output libs get created?
Regards
David Robinson

The vcproj file is a gcc Makefile?
I can't quite follow you on this one. Are you trying to use Qt, built
with gcc with Visual Studio? That won't work. You'll have to build Qt
with the Visual Studio compiler first.

Did you setup the Qt build directories?
Please, see http://doc.qtsoftware.com/vs-add-in-1.0/index.html

That's a bug, which is fixed in the addin version 1.0.1
Best Regards,
