Errors when building QT 4.7.3 from source
-
(Re)-Compiling Qt from the sources within the SDK is know to cause problems. If you need a manually compiled version, I recommend to grab the sources from http://qt.nokia.com/downloads and use that one.
-
You need perl in the path, I had the same issue. Download "activeperl":http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads and your problems will go away ;-)

[quote author="ucomesdag" date="1303596988"]Btw the regular sources also seem to need perl for syncqt.[/quote]syncqt is not needed for regular sources. I used to compile Qt myself on windows for years, I had no problems ever.[/quote]
Same here, but because of the issue with the QtSources that come with the SDK I downloaded the regular sources cause I did'nt want to install perl, if I could have lived without it why install it now, and I had exactly the same issue it needed perl. -
syncqt is only needed if the source tree is different from the build tree (according to the configure shell script). I never needed perl on my Windows box when I compiled Qt mysql for a couple of years (always using the regular sources of the framework, no SDK; using MSVS). What are your configure options?

None as I always used when compiling from source. -
I just ran two configure sessions for Qt 4.7.3, and all went without any problems.
Setup:
- Installed Qt Creator 2.2.0
- downloaded qt-everywhere-commercial-src-4.7.3.tar.gz (the open source should be fairly identical, except of licensing files)
- extract the archive
- cd into the extracted directory
- ran .\configure.exe in Visual Studio 2008 command prompt
- opened cmd.exe, put C:\Qt\qtcreator-2.2.0\mingw\bin into PATH and ran .\configure.exe -platform win32-g++ -qconfig minimal
No hassles with missing perl (it is not installed!) in both cases, no call of syncqt.
