I have been using 4.5.1 with VC 2005 to develop a OpenGL widget in QT and everything ran smoothly and we successfully made releases of the widget.
Now I am trying to compile the same code on QT 4.7.4 with VC 2008 and it throws me the errors seen above.
Any help on finding out what function is creating this error will help. I have been trying to figure this out for ages and I am just losing my patience with QT.

Thanks for the help.
