QT Creator integration with Physx

Question

Is there any way to integrate Qt and Physx so i can use Physx inside Qt Creator?

if not i'm gonna have to do the physx part of my project under Visual Studio ... but later how can i use the QT creator made UI to be my project's interface for the visual studio (physx) project? — , May 06 '11 at 00:57
I don't use Qt Creator myself, but am I right in saying that it uses mingw? If I recall correctly, mingw is not supported. But I'm not 100% sure. Therefor a comment and not an answer. — Bart, May 06 '11 at 09:31
You can perfectly well use the Visual Studio Compiler (2008 or 2010, any edition) or the Windows SDK. It's just not part of the normal SDK? — danimo, Aug 10 '11 at 07:44

Unfortunately PhysX is compiled against the /MT (static run-time version), while Qt MSVC uses /MD. Meaning you will have to build a Qt MSVC static build with /MT. Even if you get it to run using Qt's shared version you will run into the following warning and possible problems:

defaultlib 'LIBCMT' conflicts with use of other libs...

This stackoverflow answer will help you get you started for a qt static build: How to build Qt 4.8/5.2 statically under VS2012, using the static MSVC runtime, with Windows XP support?

To use the PhysX library with Qt MSVC (MinGW is not compatible with PhysX), here's an example qmake configuration.

PHYSX = /path/to/physx/library

INCLUDEPATH += $${PHYSX}/Include
LIBS += -L$${PHYSX}/Lib/win64

LIBS += \
    -lPhysX3CharacterKinematic_x64 \
    -lPhysX3_x64 \
    -lPhysX3Common_x64 \
    -lPhysX3Cooking_x64 \
    -lPhysX3Extensions \
    -lPhysX3Vehicle \
    -lPhysXProfileSDK \
    -lPhysXVisualDebuggerSDK \
    -lPxTask
