Unable to find correct/free version of qt? #1

Closed Hokage3211 closed 5 years ago

Hokage3211 commented 5 years ago

I went to the qt link, but after downloading the installer under the "open-source" zone, the legacy versions only go back to 5.9.0, and not 5.8.0 image

so what and how are we supposed to install qt, and I hope for free? If you could provide a better link and instructions, I would very much appreciate input.

https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qt5.git/ appears to have older versions. The flashy installer the main website links to doesn't seem to go back much. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if 5.9 was close enough.

Thank you for the link, but I'm not quite sure how to install that then. I've got this https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qt5/+/182765 but the git commands don't seem to work, at least maybe I'm making a mistake? I haven't used git for a little so please forgive me on that.

Okay wait, I've gotten a download now, and have the files, what do I do with this now, then? I'm not quite sure what QT is, I assumed it was an editor to work on the codebase, but I'm not sure what .exe to run from the downloaded files?

Alright, so I think I've figured out this is a visual studio project, and while I can't load the project on my visual studio, the answer given is correct for the issue, so I'll just mark that as correct and see if I can figure out what's up with my visual studio.
