Help compiling in Qt Creator!

Windows
#1

Hi,

First of all thank you for such a wonderful library (and to all those supporting it)!

I'm working on a project that has to use the Qt Creator IDE (due to constraints beyond my control), and I'd like to use JUCE, but I can't get it to compile on Windows 7.

The details of my setup are:

- Windows 7, 32-bit

- Qt Creator 3.0.1, based of Qt 5.2.1 (MSVC 2010, 32-bit)

- Compiler: Miscrosoft Visual C++ Compiler 11.0 (x86)

- Qt Version: 5.2.1 MSVC2012 32bit, for Desktop

I've added all the public .h and .cpp module files to my project, as well as the AppConfig.h and JuceHeader.h (created using Introjucer).

I also changed

slots

to 

juce_slots

to fix the problem described here: http://www.juce.com/forum/topic/problems-qt-creator.

This works fine on mac.

 

I'm now experiencing linking errors similar to what is described in this thread: http://www.juce.com/forum/topic/jucequake-use-mfc-static-library-unresolved-symbols

I'm thinking it must have something to do with the win32 libraries, but I'm truly stuck at this point.

Has anyone else successfully experienced/solved this issue?

Many thanks.

I didn't know about the problem with the word "slots" - I'll rename that to avoid future confusion. Don't know about the other problem though..

Thanks for the quick reply Jules.

Thought it might be usefult to post the actual compile errors:

I used the MSVC compiler with codeblocks and it worked fine, the libraries i had to link in were:

<Linker>
                    <Add library="comdlg32" />
                    <Add library="imm32" />
                    <Add library="ole32" />
                    <Add library="oleaut32" />
                    <Add library="rpcrt4" />
                    <Add library="shlwapi" />
                    <Add library="uuid" />
                    <Add library="version" />
                    <Add library="wininet" />
                    <Add library="winmm" />
                    <Add library="ws2_32" />
                    <Add library="wsock32" />
</Linker>

For the compiler i used (DEBUG build):

                    <Add option="/arch:SSE2" />
                    <Add option="/RTCs" />
                    <Add option="/GA" />
                    <Add option="/EHa" />
                    <Add option="/GR" />
                    <Add option="/Od" />
                    <Add option="/openmp" />
                    <Add option="/Zc:trigraphs" />
                    <Add option="/ZI" />

I didn't know about the problem with the word "slots" - I'll rename that to avoid future confusion. Don't know about the other problem though.

Your changes have broken the tip (in VS at least) since you've missed renaming a couple vars: located at lines 327 and 403, in file juce_HashMap.h of course.

Thanks atom, Jules (sorry jrlanglois)!

Those library suggestions definitely got me going in the right direction-- just had to add shell32.

This is a Qt .pro file that works for me (so far):
