Why omit the Qt libs from the SDK releases now?
Okay sure if you make C/C++ plugins that use Qt you have to install Qt 6.8.x (.2 or later) anyhow at least for the headers, but the issue is IDA Qt is built with “-qtnamespace QT”. Thus one can’t use the default Qt libs from the installer. It forces one to build the Qt libs with that switch to get useful Qt libs.
For now using the Qt libs from the last SDK.
Maybe I’m one of the few, if only, that makes C/C++ IDA plugins with custom Qt dialogs.
Same exact issue here. Thanks so much for raising this topic. Is this intentional?
I didn’t know they existed as I’ve buid my own Qt libs based on the patches and build instructions already along time ago. I also make my own dialogs and Qt stuff in the plugins.
The qt libs seems to be still in the 9.3 sdk and my plugin (which uses QtNetwork.dll) worked out of the box without recompilation.
The libs should be available in 9.4 sdk as well. The best way is to raise a ticket if your haven’t done it already.
Avi.
Qt libs were dropped by accident when migrating the build system to CMake. We’ll add them back; in the meantime, you can use libs from the 9.3 SDK or your own build with -qtnamespace QT.
Will do, thanks.

The Qt libs are now included.
