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

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...

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

bq. Just few comment ...

What is the Boost? Some turbo??

[quote author="Hedge" date="1305716471"]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?[/quote]

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:
directly after agreeing to the LGPL policies, the standard include paths are listed:

Do you accept the terms of the license?
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)

@gedd:
I want to make the Qt-dlls I deliver with my program a bit smaller. I heard good things about the MS-compiler. That's the thread with my current results: http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/6038/P15/#35944

@Peppy: I want to compile the Qt libraries with it, not my application.

@joergs1968: I might have not installed the C++ compiler (I just remembered) because I only used VS for C# up until now. I'm downloading the VS2010 iso from MSDNAA right now to change the installation.

Peppy

@Hedge: It should work in MSVC compiler. I am using MSVC 2008 with QtCreator, is much less painful (ehm...I could say, it's not painful :-D ;) ) and it does its work very fast (with precompiled headers and incremental libs) :) ... That is one thing, that is really good from Microsoft (Yes, I've tried VS 2008 - great system, too), but let's get back to the topic...

Our problem is to find, which include headers are right for compiling (stddef.h is in STL, so it should be the same, but who knows :-))

sounds like a reasonable explanation of the symptoms - good luck!

BTW: I for myself tried the Qt compilation with VS2010 (Windows7 x64 architecture) - no success; some demos worked, but not everything (strange thing tho: in debug mode everthing works, this makes it impossible to track down the problem)...

you should stick to VS2008 - I think VS2010 is a bit too new at the moment

Not so in fact ...
And QMAKESPEC for 2010, 2008 and 2005 are the same

qplatformdefs.h for VS2010 and VS2008 contains this

@#include "../win32-msvc2005/qplatformdefs.h"@

I tried and succeeded to use Qt with VS 2010, you have just to compile Qt dll.
Using VS2008 with SDK 1.1 is easier and faster

joergs1968

...but that's only from Qt perspective - the compiler/linker used by VisualStudio 2008/2010 are different; actually that is what I meant...

my problems might be caused because I am compiling for x64 architecture, don't know :-(
(the concrete problems actually are: the phonon_....dll crashes and every dropdown-list-button causes a read from address 0 somewhere in QtGui4.dll; apart from that, most examples/demos work in release mode, in debug mode: everything works...)

Hedge

After install C++ it worked finally.

I can't tell yet whether the dll's I compiled will work b/c I can't test my application right now.
