Qt with OpenCV - Which one to download

This must be a very common issue, but I need to download Qt because I am going to learn OpenCV in C++. When I go to Qt-project, there were lot of links, even there are lot of links for the same windows platform! Currently I am coding in C++ with MS Visual Studio Express 2010 (Yes, I am using windows 7 ultimate). I am new to C++ as well.

In order to do OpenCV in Qt, what should I download? My book is using a Qt IDE as well. Can you provide direct links please? Please help!

you can download qt as many ways.

1.as the complete SDK. (you must purchase this)

2.get the qt libraries

3.download the source and build it. (little hard and take a lit of time)

im sure you will go with the 2nd option. so you can download Qt libraries 4.8.4 for Windows (minGW 4.4, 317 MB) or Qt libraries 4.8.4 for Windows (VS 2010, 234 MB). 1st one is for mingw compiler and the other one is for vc 2010 compiler. you can download this one because already you have vc compiler installed. note that applications build with vc++ are not cross platform. if you need your applications to be cross platform go with mingw compiler. (prebuilt mingw librarys are only compatible with mingw 4.4 version. if you are going to download this first install mingw 4.4 in your computer)

then download and install Qt Creator 2.6.0 for Windows (51 MB). this is a cool IDE for using qt, c++.

When using QT there is a IDE named QT Creator. This gives the option of creating various type of projects such as plain C and Plain c++ projects and many more. So you may not need any other c++ IDE as MSVS express. Download the QT SDK to get all the libraries and the IDE together.

For example for windows download the exe in named as "Qt libraries 5.0 Beta 2 for Windows (501MB)"

If you are going to use OpenCV with QT i recommend OpenCV tutorial 4: OpenCV and Qt on youtube.
