<div class="descr"> <a name="details"></a>
<p>Qt for Windows CE has some requirements that are given in more detail in the <a href="requirements-wince.html">Qt for Windows CE Requirements</a> document.</p>
<a name="step-1-install-the-license-file-commercial-editions-only"></a>
<h2>Step 1: Install the License File (commercial editions only)</h2>
<p>Uncompress the files to the directory where you want to build; e.g., <tt>C:\Qt\5.1.1</tt>.</p>
<p><b>Note: </b>The install path must not contain any spaces.</p><a name="step-2-set-the-environment-variables"></a>
<h2>Step 2: Set the Environment variables</h2>
<p>In order to build and use Qt, the <tt>PATH</tt> environment variable needs to be extended:</p>
<p>Make sure the environment variables for your compiler are set. Or simply use the "<b>Visual Studio Command Prompt</b>" from the Start menu.</p>
<a name="step-3-configure-qt"></a>
<h2>Step 3: Configure Qt</h2>
<p>To configure Qt, for a custom SDK, type the following:</p>
<pre class="cpp">C:
cd \<span class="type">Qt</span>\<span class="number">5.1.1</span>
configure <span class="operator">-</span>platform <span class="operator">-</span>xplatform wincewm70customsdk<span class="operator">-</span>msvc2008</pre>
<p>If you want to configure Qt for another platform or with other options, type <tt>configure -help</tt> to get a list of all available options. See the <tt>README</tt> file for the list of supported platforms.</p>
<a name="step-4-build-qt-library"></a>
<h2>Step 4: Build Qt Library</h2>
<p>To build Qt type:</p>
<pre class="cpp">nmake
nmake install</pre>
<p><b>That's all. Qt is now installed.</b></p>
<a name="qt-examples"></a>
<h2>Qt Examples</h2>
<p>To get started with Qt, you can check out the examples found in the <tt>examples</tt> directory of your Qt installation. The documentation can be found in <tt>doc\html</tt>.</p>
<p><b>Note: </b>If you reconfigure Qt for a different platform, make sure you start with a new clean console to get rid of the platform dependent include directories.</p><p>The links below provide further information for using Qt:</p>
