Yeah, Qt is a huge bastard. You're right that you should have changed the font color, though. Green is the mark of a pro.

Qt is [i]huge[/i]. It's also very professionally coded, very well designed, incredibly well documented, has a very large and active community, and is identically named to an awesome convenience store chain.

Qt basically defines thousands of very high quality helper classes, like Boost. Think of recompiling the entire boost library, twice over. But just like boost, you only include what you need in your actual projects.

You should just download the pre-compiled version, that comes with QtCreator. QtCreator is an awesome IDE on it's own, even without the built-in Qt API support.

Hi Servant. Yeah, wish I had now. Took about six hours to build the library in the end.
