    Is qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.2.zip the right 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 ;-)

      Write “Qt”, not “QT” (QuickTime).

        Yes, that's the right one (and the most recent, Qt 4.7.3 has not been released yet).

            Did you run mingw32-make clean before retrying?

              It just shows the following error when I try a clean

              @C:\QtSDK\QtSources\4.7.3>mingw32-make clean
              mingw32-make: *** No rule to make target `clean'. Stop.@

                  Try it from the regular source package.

                    Did you try running configure without arguments and then build?

                    Here it builds fine with the QtSources 4.7.3 on windows 7 as I mentioned the only hick-up I had was that it needed perl. Btw the regular sources also seem to need perl for syncqt.

                      syncqt is not needed for regular sources. I used to compile Qt myself on windows for years, I had no problems ever.

                        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.
