using latest QMAKE binary with old qt ver

orio

my old qt qmake (4.7) probably having some bug with following symlinks inside each other.
when tried with new qmake version in qt 6.0.2 there is no bug.

can i use the new qmake binary (from 6.0.2) to generate makefiles for the old qt version (4.7.1)?

No, you can't.
Instead of trying such things why don't you try to solve the actual issue (what ever "some bug" is)?
Also, if you need Qt4 you should at least use the latest Qt4 relese.

qmake print "OUT of memory " in qstring when trying to run on pro file located behind two symbolic links.

if it is only one symlink everything is ok

i dont realy think i can solve bug in a very old qmake version

And you also can't use qmake from one Qt version with another one.
But again: try with latest Qt4 version, maybe that one works with the symlinks.
