Qt is based on the C + + language, and for Windows, the compiler can be MinGW or VS. as shown in the following:

The

linux's build environment is ported to a version under Windows called MinGW, and you can think of MinGW primarily containing the GCC compiler. The
GCC, although it can be used under Windows, does not expect it to perform well, and it is recommended to compile with VS when releasing the software.
The installation of QT requires an account login, if not, free registration can be.

After the installation Qt consists of the following parts:
1) QT Library: This is QT's repository, which is the core of QT.

2) qt Creator: A lightweight IDE based on QT Development, QT was introduced after Nokia acquisition, the latest version is 3.5.1, very useful.

Although it is also possible to develop QT programs with other Ides such as VS, we still recommend Qt Creator, an IDE that is officially built specifically for QT development.

Qt Creator are cross-platform and do not need to re-learn the IDE's use after changing the platform.

3) The Qt DESIGNER:QT program UI Designer. With Qt Designer, even if you do not write code, drag-and-drop can also develop a simple GUI program, and can preview the program interface in a timely manner (without compiling).

4) QT ASSISTANT:QT help tool, including QT tutorials, examples, class reference manuals, module introduction, etc., is the official QT information, similar to MSDN. To learn Qt, be sure to use Assistant to find information.

5) QT LINGUIST:QT is an international tool for QT, which makes it easy to translate text from the interface into other languages, allowing programs to support multiple languages for global users.
