How do I use Qt?

[Marquis]

I tried just looking at the sample code given to me, but it won't even compile. It nags at me saying "missing or invalid Qmake." How can I fix this?

if you are using QT in visual studio then you have to build QT libraries before using them.
have a look at QT site on how to build QT for visual studio 2010.

otherwise more simple is to download QT SDK and building applcations from that IDE.

I was trying to set it up for Netbeans, but I'm not really sure how. I went ahead and downloaded the Qt IDE, though. I didn't even know there was one, so thanks for that.

I'd still like any help getting it set up for Netbeans on both Windows 7 and Linux, if anyone can help with that (I didn't see anything on their site, though I don't know where to look).

There are also Qt forums in which you can get some very informed input on all things Qt:
