Qt4 with VS2003

[giesbert]

AFAIK, VS2003 is not anymore supported.
What does confige write as error? Which dirs are missing? A bit more information would help.

[JediSpam]

Yeah I know it's no longer supported. 2005 is the last that is acknowledged in the package manager. I will post up the errors tomorrow

[loladiro]

I have managed to successfully compile Qt 4.7.3 with an out-of-the box VS2003, so it is possible. I'll try to help you once you post the errors.

[JediSpam]

Alright I'm getting tons of errors atm upon building configure.exe here is so far.

Seems like most errors coming from cachekeys.h, option.h, project.h. Those are just a few of the errors coming up.

When i build it from QT Creator the errors are
@

@

[loladiro]

You're not supposed to build configure.exe yourself. It's included in the source package.

[JediSpam]

when does it get executed? why is there a .bat with options then?

[loladiro]

It's in the main folder of the source package. You just call configure.exe like you would ./configure on linux, with all the appropriate options. If you do not have configure.exe in your source package, may I recommend you to re-download it.

[JediSpam]

That's what i've done. I'm getting those errors from running configure.exe command prompt. I prompt "o" for open source edition then "y" to accept the license then errors spew

[loladiro]

Ok, sorry, I thought you were trying to build configure yourself (looked like it from the errors you posted).
Do you have perl in your PATH?

[JediSpam]

This is what i currently have in PATH under system variables
@
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\QT Lite\QTSystem;C:\Program Files\Shoreline Communications\ShoreWare Client;C:\QtSDK\mingw\bin;C:\QtSDK\QtCreator\bin;C:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.7.3\msvc2008\bin;

Here is a screen of my "Qt4" and "Tool Chains". I have only VS2003 installed at the moment

[JediSpam]

what do i need perl for?

[loladiro]

Qt uses it within configure:
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/requirements-win.html

[giesbert]

if you download the SDK, you can't build qt from there. To build your own qt, you must download the source zip file from "here":http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3.zip and then build it.

[JediSpam]

Alright let me try this out and i'll let you know! thanks again

[JediSpam]

just ran configure and it works like a champ! my next instruction was to "Just run mingw32-make" and now i'm seeing tons of errors after trying to run that. I have perl installed and qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3

[giesbert]

Why do you run mingw-make if you want to build with MSVS 2003?
MSVS 2003 uses nmake, not mingw-make

[JediSpam]

Yep thats true! I re-ran configure and now it prompted me to use "nmake". It's currently running without errors we'll see what happens when it's done *crosses fingers

[JediSpam]

Alright nmake built correctly! Took a few hours but no errors. Tried to run one of the examples in QT and this is what I'm getting:

"Direct Link":http://i54.tinypic.com/2ywfvbo.jpg

!http://i54.tinypic.com/qqvojn.jpg(screenshot)!

[giesbert]

So, did you add the newly build Qt to the Qt versions of QtCreator? If yes, did you add it for the project (or just delete the pro.user file and reopen the pro project in creator)?

[JediSpam]

I just added it to the "Qt Versions" and that's all i've done.

!http://i51.tinypic.com/2vjrbyh.jpg(qt)!

Do i need to do the second thing you mentioned?
