Creating a new mkspec for win32-msvc2008

[SteveKing]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a new mkspec for win32-msvc2008 to set Zc/wchar_t rather than Zc/wchar_t-. I'm doing this as a new mkspec as I want to have 2 configurations, one with and one without.

The problem I'm having is creating a new mkspec with the name win32-msvc2008-wchar causes an error during the configuration step (after the creating headers for Qt3 support):

Makefile(57) : fatal error U1023: sytax error in expression.

I've tried using the cross compile option (-platform win32-msvc2008 -xplatform win32-msvc2008-wchar) , this configures correctly but then fails to find stdint.h while compiling webkit...

Any ideas???

Thanks,
Steve

==You shouldn't need -xplatform - but did you specify the switch as it appears above? The correct switches are "/Zc:wchar_t-" and "/Zc:wchar_t" (though you don't actually need to specify the latter - that's the default).==

Hi,

Sorry that was my typo in the posting, they are set as you've shown them.

The problem is that the configuration process fails if I rename the mkspec win32-msvc2008 to a different name. I guess there's some meaning in the mkspec name that means the configure will fail if the name isn't correct.

No, that name is simply what you need to match "QMAKESPEC" to (or the "-spec" option to "configure").

Can you post (or pastebin) that Makefile?
