problem configurating qt for vs2008

Hamed

Hi, I'm not sure if I should post this question here or in embedded section, anyway, problem is I'm following this instruction bellow :
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5.6/install-wince.html
In step 3 when I want to configure qt for vs2008 I'm getting following error :

c:\qt2\qt5.8.0\qtbase\include\qtcore\../../src/corelib/global/qglobal.h(45) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'type_traits': No such file or directory
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN\cl.EXE"' : return code '0x2'

I downloaded Qt 5.8.0 source, I read the README file and it says it's need vs2012 or later, so this means I can't use this for vs2008? The documentation is for qt 5.6.

Please tell what I'm doing wrong here.
Thanks

Hi
Qt 5.6 might use c++ constructs that 2008 do not handle etc.
So there might be issues compiling it.
You cant use 2012 ? or simply use 2015/17 ?

I want to use qt for old wince platforms, so I need to use vs08.
Also that document use msvc2008 to configure qt.
I think there is some kind of conflict between qt docs and source README file.
I'm confused.

mrjj

@Hamed
well just use older qt then.
let me check.
there is version that match 2008.

https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/4.8/4.8.6/
is for 2008.

Hamed

Hmm, I think I should do that.
But what about Qt documentation? I suspect if I'm doing something wrong here but the steps are too simple to do mistakes.

mrjj

@Hamed
hmm. i missed th elink.
You are right. it should work.
its ment to work at least.
maybe some sort of bug.

Sorry for asking this, it's off topic, Qt4 is stable?

So if you let me, I don't make question solved yet, maybe there is some other issue.

@Hamed
yes qt ~~4.8.6~~ 4.8.7 is very stable but very old.
but still valid.

but
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5.6/requirements-wince.html
says active perl is needed. u have it ?

It should work with 5.6
Sorry wince is a bit unknown to me :)

Yes I installed active perl and active pyton and ruby at latest version, still nothing changed.
As I said README file says vs12 or later, but docs says vs08 is valid. :-?

mrjj

@Hamed
well 2005/2008 seems the supported version. wince is pretty old so that makes sense.
let me see if google can help.

mrjj

oh btw did u install service packs for 2008 ?

mrjj

oh, also , it seems to be a commercial options.
So it must mean you have a license.
So you can get dedicated direct help if you contact them. \o/

I don't know, I installed vs08 professional and there was wince standard sdk and I installed that too, I wrote some code for wince in vs08 and they worked fine, but I like to use qt for that.

if you tell me what service pack I should install more I will find that.

mrjj

@Hamed
SP 1 at least.

It's commercial option? really? I have opensource one.
The docs doesn't say this is for commercial version only!

mrjj

@Hamed
no, sorry. it just seems like that. It seems optional :)

I checked and yes, SP1 installed.

mrjj

@Hamed
then i guess 5.6 is better to use.
I assume that 5.8 uses type_traits and vs 2008 didnt have back then.

OK I will download Qt5.6.
If that didn't work I will use Qt4.8.
If none of them work I will continue posting state here.
Thank you for your time and help.
