To build the QTViewer application on Windows 7 it is assumed that Steps 1–12 of the Ubuntu tutorial are finished and a virtual machine with Visual Studio 2010 has been setup.

Qt

• Download Qt
  • ftp://ftp.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.4.zip
  • Unzip the source archive.
    • Right-click at it and choose “Extract all”.
• Compile Qt
  • Open a MSVC command prompt via
    • Programs → MSVC → Tools → MSVC Command Prompt
    • Change directory (cd) to the Qt directory.
    • Configure Qt
      • configure -platform win32-msvc2010 -opengl desktop -release -static -no-libpng -no-sql-sqlite -nomake examples -nomake demos -nomake tests -opensource -confirm-license
    • Compile Qt
      • nmake
      • While Qt compiles, you’ve got time to drink plenty of coffee.
• Setup Qt
  • Add the Qt “bin” directory to your PATH environment variable.
    • System → Advanced → Environment Variables → PATH
• Check Qt
  • On the MSVC command prompt
    • qmake —version
    • Should read “QMake version 2.01a”

Checkout

• Create new build directory
  • Assumed to be “Projects” in your home folder.
• Checkout libMini’s QTViewer with Tortoise SVN
  • Url: http://svn.code.sf.net/p/libmini/code/libmini/qtviewer
  • Destination: …/Projects/qtviewer
• Checkout prebuilt WIN32 dependencies with Tortoise SVN
  • Url: http://svn.code.sf.net/p/libmini/code/libmini/WIN32
  • Destination: …/Projects/WIN32

Build GDAL

• Checkout GDAL with Tortoise SVN
  • Url: http://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/tags/1.8.1/gdal
  • Destination: …/Projects/gdal
• Open a MSVC command prompt via
  • Programs → MSVC → Tools → MSVC Command Prompt
  • Navigate into the GDAL source directory and type
    • set PROJ=“your project directory”
      • e.g set PROJ=“C:\Users\roettger\Projects”
    • nmake /f makefile.vc MSVC_VER=1600 GDAL_HOME=%PROJ%
    • nmake /f makefile.vc MSVC_VER=1600 GDAL_HOME=%PROJ% devinstall
    • nmake /f makefile.vc MSVC_VER=1600 GDAL_HOME=%PROJ% staticlib
    • copy /y gdal.lib %PROJ%\lib
    • copy /y port\*.h %PROJ%\include
    • copy /y gcore\*.h %PROJ%\include
    • copy /y ogr\*.h %PROJ%\include

Build QTViewer

• Open a MSVC command prompt via
  • Programs → MSVC → Tools → MSVC Command Prompt
  • Navigate into the QTViewer source …/Projects/qtviewer directory and type
    • build.bat
      • produces qtviewer.exe in the project directory

Package QTViewer

Using the instructions above, the QTViewer is built against static libraries, meaning that it can be run as stand-alone executable.

Here is the latest stand-alone qtviewer.exe Δ.

You can get the latest WIN32 package in the download section.
