    Hi,

    Sorry for the delay. Just reinstalled sp1 to make sure, reconfigured again and rebuilt. Same problem. So yep, I have SP1 but still no dice.

      Do you have your own copy of libtifff installed? Seems as if some of the headers leak in from outside Qt, where thandle_t is defined different.

        it does look like that, doesn't it. I might try altering the Makefiles to output the include path and see how I get on. Thanks for the idea!

          hmmm GTK 2.0 has a tiffio.h which could have been picked up.
          I've deleted this and am now rebuilding...
          ....now it can't find tiffio.h!
          I guess I have to reconfigure..in the meantime, any suggestions most welcome!

            You will have to call configure again. Your build was configured to use the system libtiff, which now isn't available anymore.

            You should call

            @
            configure -qt-libtiff
            @

            to explicitly tell Qt to use its internal tiff library.

              thanks, restarted configure with that option. i'll let you know how the build goes, but it sounds like this is the way forward

                  It must have been something like that since I never had problems building Qt itself with MSVS 2005 with and without SP1.

                  And now have fun using Qt - the adventure starts right now :-)

                    I have built Qt once on msvc2005 and it was almost a mess (but was the old 4.2/3 which had to be patched). Then with 2008 everything went fine :-p. Still too long to build however

                      I never had problems with this combination. No error, no patch. Strange. But fortunately I can use the prebuilt binaries nowadays. The most annoying thing was the compile time - no "make -j8" ... it took ages.
