How to convert Git source code in to a windows qt ?

[User 13236514]

Hi, i have installed Visual studio 2010 and compiled Qt. :) Please guide me how can i convert the open source code (related to a windows QT application) that i got from github in to a windows Qt application. :doh: Thanks.

If it is not already a Windows Qt application then it will depend on what source language it is and what OS it was written for.

[User 13236514]

hi, it is in C++ and for Windows. :)

Then it should work.

hi, can you please guide me how to do it?

Sorry, no, that is not a question that can be answered in a forum like this. You will need to go through all the code and figure out where and what you need to change.

i don't need any changes, i just wanted to convert source code in to windows Qt (a GUI)

What do you mean by convert the source code?

Just wanted to build windows Qt with the source code. but when i build with the code it fails at the end with 0 successfull and 1 error (no information)

There must be some build output. No C++ or C code builds entirely silently.

Those two statements contradict each other. If the source code is already written to use the Windows API then what exactly will Qt gain you?

[User 13236514]

need qt application - windows GUI to use it. can't really use the source code :(

If you want to convert a program from using the Windows API to using Qt then you will have to go through the source code, find all the API calls and change them to their Qt equivalents. If you think it is possible to automate the process then I can only suggest a Google search.
