The Address Book Tutorial shows how to put together a simple yet fully-functioning GUI application. The tutorial chapters can be found in the Qt documentation, which can be viewed using Qt Assistant or a Web browser. The tutorial is also available online at http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtwidgets/tutorials-addressbook.html All programs corresponding to the chapters in the tutorial should automatically be built when Qt is compiled, or will be provided as pre-built executables if you have obtained a binary package of Qt. If you have only compiled the Qt libraries, use the following instructions to build the tutorial. On Linux/Unix: Typing 'make' in this directory builds all the programs (part1/part1, part2/part2, part3/part3 and so on). Typing 'make' in each subdirectory builds just that tutorial program. On Windows: Create a single Visual Studio project for the tutorial directory in the usual way. You can do this by typing the following at the command line: qmake -tp vc You should now be able to open the project file in Visual Studio and build all of the tutorial programs at the same time. On Mac OS X: Create an Xcode project with the .pro file in the tutorial directory. You can do this by typing the following at the command line: qmake -spec macx-xcode Then open the generated Xcode project in Xcode and build it.
