How to Program C++11 Using Qt5?

I'm getting ready to program a cross-platform project with my friend. We decided on using Qt and gcc as our IDE and toolchain respectively. He works on Linux, I work on Windows. However, gcc on Linux isn't necessarily gcc on Windows. More specifically, Qt on Windows installs mingw with gcc 4.4 and my friend has gcc 4.7. So I tried getting a more recent gcc version for windows. My current version of Qt is 5 and using gcc 4.7 downloaded and installed from this site: http://www.equation.com/servlet/equation.cmd?fa=fortran I installed it in C:\QtSDK\mingw and simply overrode all the files existing from the Qt installation. I figured that I wouldn't have to reconfigure anything in Qt if I just took the short route. However, even using the compiler flags: ``` QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -std=c++0x (Qt 4.7) ``` and ``` CONFIG += c++11 (Qt5) ``` the IDE or toolchain fails to compile a simple range-based for loop: ``` int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int my_array[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; for (auto x : my_array) std::cout << x << std::endl; return 0; } ``` or initializer-lists: ``` int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { QVector<int> testsData { 1, 2, 10, 42, 50, 123 }; QStringList options = { QLatin1String("foo"), QLatin1String("bar") }; return 0; } ``` However, looking at the implementation details of gcc 4.7, both of these features- and more- should be readily available. Has anyone else tried to use gcc and Qt for Windows? If so, how did you get it to work? I would like a solution using gcc 4.6 or 4.7, but will settle for less if it is not at all possible. Alternatively, is there a dev environment for Linux and Windows that makes use of C++11 features? I would also settle for something besides Qt if it just works... I used the sources: C++0x in Qt (Qt 4.7-4.8) C++11 in Qt5
