<h2>Required tools</h2>
<p>In order to use Qt for Windows CE you need to have Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 and at least one of the supported Windows CE/Mobile SDKs installed. Note, that the Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition doesn't come with Windows CE support. You will need the Professional Edition, if you're using Visual Studio 2008.</p>

<h2>Installing Qt</h2>
<p>Follow the instructions found in <a href="install-wince.html">Installing Qt for Windows CE</a>.</p>
<a name="building-your-own-applications"></a>
<h2>Building your own applications</h2>
<p>If you are new to Qt development, have a look at How to Learn Qt and <a href="qtexamplesandtutorials.html#tutorials">Tutorials</a>. In general there is little or no difference in developing Qt applications for Windows CE compared to any of the other platforms supported by Qt.</p>
<p>Once you have a <tt>.pro</tt> file, you can build from the command line. Simply write:</p>
<pre class="cpp">qmake
nmake</pre>
<p>For more information on how to use qmake have a look at the qmake Tutorial.</p>
<a name="running-the-application"></a>
<h2>Running the application</h2>
<p>In order to run the application, it needs to be deployed on the Windows CE/Mobile device you want to test it for. This can either be done manually or automated using Visual Studio.</p>
<p>To do it manually, simply copy the executable, the Qt <tt>.dll</tt> files needed for the application to run, and the C-runtime library into a folder on the device, and then click on the executable to start the program. You can either use the <i>Explorer</i> found in ActiveSync or the <i>Remote File Viewer</i> found in Visual Studio to do this.</p>
<p>Further information on deploying Qt applications for Windows can be found in the <a href="deployment-windows.html">deployment document</a>.</p>
