I want to start developing apps in Qt for Nokia Belle/Meego/BB10 Platforms.

I have downloaded the Nokia Qt SDK 1.2.1 (including Qt 4.7.4, Qt Mobility, Qt Quick and other components).

I'm trying to install Nokia Qt SDK on a Mac, but it asks for Xcode. I have Xcode, but don't want to install it because it occupies a lot of space. Do I need it if I have Qt Creator? What does it need it for???? I thought Qt Creator can compile things itself. Can I uninstall Xcode after I install the SDK?

Thanks

The Qt Creator is just an IDE. It needs the entire C/C++ development environment. Xcode provides such an environment.

The Qt SDK 1.2.1 is very old. Unless you need it to support an old Nokia platform, you shouldn't be using it. Go to qt-project.org and get yourself a recent version of Qt (5.1.1 at the moment). It comes with Qt Creator. You still need Xcode for the compilers for the desktop platforms.

The SDK should come with compilers and simulators for the target devices, but I don't know offhand if it will need some non-compiler tools from Xcode.
