[solved] Configure.exe fails for Qt 4.7.3 with Visual Studio-compiler

koahnig

Just out of curiousity I have started the same configure command but substituted the visual studio version.
It does work in my installation.
The qbitarray.obj is created apparently right the beginning.
I have used "qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3.zip".

Hedge

What do you mean by substituted? You left it out?

koahnig

No, I have basically used the configure command as you provided, but I had to use "win32-msvc2005" instead of "win32-msvc2010".

Hedge

It's the same error with win32-msvc2005 as well.

Maybe you can try this

Check your system settings

@ QTDIR = C:\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3
QMAKESPEC = win32-msvc2010
PATH = .....;%QTDIR%\bin@

launch Visual Studio 2010 Command Prompt

check variable with the following commands
@ echo %QTDIR%
echo %QMAKESPEC%
echo %PATH%@

then run this :
@cd %QTDIR%
configure & nmake & nmake clean@

Hedge

I did exactly what you said (and made sure the variables are set) but it still can't find stddef (same error as before).

btw. what means the & between configure & nmake & nmake clean?

EDIT: The requested libraries weren't found...link %PATH% with /include/ folder which has STL libs.(not so good solution)...

Hedge

I can't find VC 2010's include-folder.

Peppy

It has to exists. Run in VC some console app. and look at project properties (If V. Visual C++ or Visual Studio uses MSVC headers which are almost ever in Program Files dir. Look for something like
Program Files/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/(current version - the latest - I've got "v7.0A")/Include

Try it...

Do you have installed QtSDK + MSVC 2008 ??

You work in QtCreator? Have you tried working with MSVC compiler in QtCreator? I am even better with MSVC than MinGW...

Hedge

Ah, now I found it and added it to the PATH.
I tstill get the same error as in the first post though.

I've got QtSDK and MSVC2010 installed.

Peppy

QtSDK has libs/includes only for MSVC2008, set up in QtCreator, in Project, and set up compiler as MSVC2008

Hedge

where are these includes. I can't find them in the source-package and compiled sdk.

Peppy

QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.7.3\msvc2008

Hedge

Ah...I started the QtSDK Maintenance tool and saw I didn't have those isntalled.

btw. Will this help me get Qt itself compiled?

Peppy

I've got this compiled, it works fine for me, better than MinGW (for me)...

I am sorry, I don't understand you question...

gedd

Have you really need VS2010 ?
Have you really need to compile Qt? or just want it works on Windows ?

If your answers is no, no , yes , see my last post here

it chains the commands.
it's the same thing that:
configure
nmake
clean

there is something weird in your description:
according to your configuration ( platform win32- msvc2010 ) you wanted it configured for VS2010, but according to the compiler arguments ( IC:\qt-everywhere-
opensource-src-4.7.3\mkspecs\win32- msvc2008 ), it's been configured for VS2008 ???

anyways:

Environment:
INCLUDE=

  c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\ATLMFC\INCLUDE

  c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\INCLUDE

  C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include @

look there, stddef.h normally is located within "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\INCLUDE"
(for your configuration, the Visual Studio version number might be different)
