1 ) qt-sdk-win-opensource-2009.01.1 installation :

Download it (or the last version) at the following adress : http://www.qtsoftware.com/downloads

Execute the program and wait a little time because it is unpacking.

After it, (read and) accept the licence.

Check mingw and Qt (space required 1.6GB) when it is asked (or if you already have mingw, you could choose its path).

Destination folder c:\Qt\2009.01

There is no need to launch the Qt Creator program.


2 ) otf install :

in this archive, you will find :

- a 'libotf.a'.
- this 'README'.
- a 'Makefile'.

As ViTE has not yet been tested with the visual compiler, and the otf library can only be compiled with it, we decided to provide a libotf.a (unofficial) compiled with the mingw compiler.

You can compile with the otf support by using CMake or by typing "make with_otf" in the console. You have to add the libotf.a file in the src/ directory in order to link it (else you will have an error). An OTF version is provided in the src/general/otf/otflib/ directory if you do not have it (useful for CMake compilation when asked for OTF_DIR and OTF_INCLUDE_DIR).

3 ) Compiling and running
On the start menu, launch the 'Qt command prompt' in the 'Qt SDK by Nokia v2009.01 (open source)' folder.

Go to the source folder of ViTE (for example 'cd \Users\$username\Desktop\vite\source' in Vista).

Copy the file 'Makefile' to the source folder.

Go to the source folder and type make for the compilation an '.\bin\vite' for launching ViTE.


Note : if you want to launch ViTE from its icon, you should change your dll path or copy (maybe a link is enough) 'mingwm10.dll', 'QtCored4.dll', 'QtGuid4.dll', 'QtOpenGLd4.dll' and 'QtXmld4.dll' in the bin directory.

These files can be found in the bin/ directories of mingw (install in Qt) and Qt.
