We didn't leave today after all, had a slack attach.
Got Qt installed and played with a few demos.
Got TortoiseSVN installed and checked out your code.
Started a new project in Qt Creator and thought I imported all the files because it gave me a huge list, but all I have is a "Hello world" window.
EDIT: I guess hello world is some sort of default it put in because I hadn't added all the files, man I hate learning a new toolchain, but it does look good.
LATER: Slowly getting there, all files included in project but the compiler can't find "QDomDocument", it's in about 30 places but obviously not the right places.
