Qt sets the standard for high-performance, cross-platform application development. It includes a C++ class library and tools for cross-platform development and internationalization. Qt is also available to Java programmers through Qt Jambi.

This article is NOT a tutorial for programing Qt4 application. It's only made as a note for setting Qt4 in Code::Blocks. Just following the steps below you can easily configure the setting. After all, you could enjoy coding your GUI programs and have fun.

1. You must have installed Code::Blocks on your OS and make sure that Code::Blocks has been upgrade by the latest Nightly Build.
2. Then Go to Qt4 download page and get the Qt/Windows Open Source Edition.
3. After completing Qt4 installation, let's start Code::Blocks then open "Global Variable Editor" and press "New" to create a variable named "qt4" and set "base","include", "lib" path according to the Qt4 installation path. The figure below shows the Qt4 default installation path.
