Let QT Creator support Windows Phone 8 development

Let QT Creator support Windows Phone 8 development

Recently QtCreator3.2 out, fixed some bugs, better than the previous version of 3.1.2. Since the previous version (Qt for WINRT) had some problems with packaging, I downloaded the IDE to try it out today. At first I wanted to set up the Windows Phone 8 development environment, but there was always no success. Finally, I found a way to use this method to successfully set up a QT Creator that supports the Windows Phone 8 development environment.

Open Qt Creator, at first except for desktop devices that did not find any other devices.

But I looked under, QT FORWINRT This kit comes with QT Creator that can show me installed Windows Phone and Windows Phone emulator devices. What is the reason for this?

The original function is to bring a folder in the Qtcreator, in the $${qtcreator}/share/qtcreator folder, a folder named Qtproject, the newly installed qtcreator is not. The workaround is to copy and paste the folder you have brought to the location of the newly installed Qt creator. Then start the newly installed QT Creator, and the result is the appropriate device:

Then you need to open a platform plugin WINRT for Qtcreator. Over here:

Restart, and then open Qtcreator. "Option? Build and run? Build Kit (Kit) and" qtversions "are all capable of setting QT's Windows rt/windows phone version correctly.

The role of the WINRT plugin, like the Android plugin, is to assist in the automatic setting of QT versions and build suites. Once enabled and the device is ready, the QT version and build suite are automatically generated.
