Visual Studio 2010 nmake error

[quote author="muntoo" date="1304471289"]I've installed the Visual Studio 2010 Add-in. I'm still not sure whether I have to compile the source code, or if any of the installers will work with Visual Studio 2010.[/quote]

The vs2008 installer works fine for me on vs2010. I don't ever build from source with the installers...

I had the same problem yesterday when trying to build Qt 4.7.4 with VS2008, and I remember having this problem in the past with earlier versions too.

I then started Windows in Safe Mode and started compilation. It succeeded.

Apparently, Microsoft compiler is more stable in safe mode.

It seems that you use wrong target architecture. For example, you may use "Visual Studio x64 command prompt" instead x86.

i get an error which says windows.h files.

Hi,

I am not aware of entire previous discussions but I think probable answer to your question about windows.h file might be ..

You have to set some environmental system variables.
I am using cl compiler and SDK and it works fine for me. I have the following environmental variables set..

Variable name : INCLUDE
Variable value : C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\atl\include;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\mfc\include;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\include;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\atlmfc\include;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Include;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include;C:\OpenSSL-Win32\include;C:\OpenSSL-Win32\include\openssl;

I am using cl from Visual studio command prompt. I am not aware of any settings to be done for Visual studio debugger. This link might help you :

I have the same issue with muntoo, while building the current stable branch (5.1) from git.

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\m
t.exe"' : return code '0x1f'

Carefully reading http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git , I guess it is because lack of Windows SDK 7.1.

But I failed to install Windows SDK 7.1. According to the page http://qt-project.org/wiki/Cannot_Install_Windows_SDK, I uninstalled the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable, but still failed with another error.

Hi,

  Try to use jom instead of nmake that may solve your problem...

Refer to ...: http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/25776

At that time, I had other errors when using jom, posted at http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/26325 Afterwards I find another machine that can install Windows SDK and run nmake, then build successfully.

jom may indeed avoid the problem. In fact, I participate in your referred post http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/25776 :)

Sorry did not see that you were the one who posted the solution in the other post...
Just thought that it might be relevant and referred it. :-)
