* [http://qt.nokia.com/downloads Download and install Qt].  As of winter 2009, get the [http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6/qt4-6-intro.html 4.6 version].
 
** Windows - need to get [http://qt.nokia.com/downloads source code]. On the LGPL tab, select the source code download page for windows and visual studio 2008, and note that there is a link below where you can download the [http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.6.0.zip source code in a zip archive].
 
*** launch the msvc2008 command prompt (MSVC08 Tools->Visual Studio 2008 CommandPrompt)
 
*** build with <code>configure.exe -platform win32-msvc2008</code> Note: if you are compiling Slicer in Debug mode, please add the -debug argument to the command line; the build defaults to Release mode.(according to [http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6/supported-platforms.html] Qt does not support msvc2008 on windows xp.  However, running configure.exe with no -platform argument seems to work.)
 
*** run <code>vcvars32.bat</code> first
 
*** and then <code>nmake</code>.
 
*** building with webkit support requires that <i>src/3rdparty/webkit/WebCore/tmp/moc/{debug,release}_shared/mocinclude.tmp</i> be removed. else you will get linker errors like <code>QNetworkReplyHandler.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual struct QMetaObject const * __thiscall WebCore::FormDataIODevice::metaObject(void)const (?metaObject@FormDataIODevice@WebCore@@UBEPBUQMetaObject@@XZ)</code>
 
*** If you encounter the following error <code>api\qscriptextensionplugin.h(43): Error: Undefined interface,</code>, delete the files <i>\src\script\tmp\moc\debug_shared\mocinclude.tmp</i> and <i>\src\script\tmp\moc\release_shared\mocinclude.tmp</i> and restart nmake. For more info, please see [http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-6470 QTBug 6470]].
 
*** Note: Using the Qt Designer on Windows requires that the Slicer widget plugins are compiled in the same mode than Qt. If Qt is compiled in Release mode (default), Slicer must be compiled in Release. If Qt is compiled in Debug mode only, Slicer must be compiled in Debug. (however if Qt is in Release and Debug, Slicer must be in Release).
 
** Linux/Mac - install full QtCreator package (use "-arch x86_64" for a 64 bit build on snowleopard)
