Qt Compile Error in Vista/VS2008

marcelopaz

Hello!

I´m having some dificulties to compile the qt 4.6.3 in Windows Vista/VS2008.
I configured the make with -no-webkit -no-qt3support -no-scripttools -no-script and after hours compiling, this occours:

Microsoft (R) 32b/64b MIDL Compiler Version 7.00.0500

midl : error MIDL9008 : internal compiler problem - See documentation for sugges
tions on how to find a workaround.
midl: Assertion failed: ( rc < _MAX_DIR ) && ( rc != 0 ), file d:\longhorn\com\r

This is weird, because I don´t have any folder named longhorn in drive D (I´m compiling in Drive C).

What can I do to fix this?

Thanks in advance

marcelopaz Have you tried to compile qt with default configuration (configure.exe && nmake)?

marcelopaz Have you updated your Visual Studio with all the latest updates? Especially SP1?

I have found this "thread":http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/vclanguage/thread/5abc3918-af6e-40e4-9962-40d90edefb1e that is about your issue however I suggest to check for updates using Microsoft Update.
