QT 4.8 and gif image support

[Nosf]

Hey Guys,

I recently switched from static to shared lib build and first thing in 4.8.2 I saw was my gif image in a label (animated gif) was not appearing.

The image returns invalid.

Checking the configure options,

-qt-gif (has been removed from 4.8)

"Configure Options 4.8":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/configure-options.html <- Seems Incorrect

Now building QT configure output shows

Third Party Libraries:
ZLIB support............qt
GIF support.............plugin

however once building it I only see empty folders created inside the qt src dir\plugins

I guess I need to take the plugin dll's to my app executable folder as well for GIF support but I cant seem to figure out where they are or if they failed to build.

Is there anything particular to pass in the configure / nmake command to request building plugins?

IIRC, nothing special need to do.

Download the source code, then
@
configure
nmake

Yeh that would sort it too, but that also builds everything with default configure.

I was just building specific libraries with nmake sub-***

Just needed to add sub-plugins

Change into the plugin directory, then run
@
qmake
nmake
