I need to create a Win32/DirectX project, which I started in VS2010, but I just can't stand it as a C++ IDE, so I'd prefer to use QtCreator instead.
I've tried two ways of doing it: creating a VS project in VS2010 and using Qt plugin to generate .pro file, and creating a plain C++ project in QtCreator and adding all dependencies myself. Unfortunately neither of this ways worked.
In the first case the option to generate a .pro file ("Create basic .pro file) from VS project is just disabled (even though I can open and build projects created in QtCtreator).
In the second case I'm not sure what do I need in my .pro file to avoid linker errors. For example below is an output of compiling an application that just shows a simple empty window together with my pro file:
Finally in QtCreator I have to explicitly specify all string as LPCSTR with L"string" while VS doesn't seem to complain about it. Any way around this?
