Qt in Visual Studio 2012

If it's a bug with Avast's sandboxing engine, then it needs to be fixed as it will probably frustrate many other users in the meantime. Please notify the Avast developers.

I have already alerted Avast. I sent them a detailed email this morning. Frankly, I suspect that their company (with 200,000,000 users) is now too top-heavy to care.
I will report here if and when they respond.

Great, thanks for your efforts :) Fingers crossed that they remember how they grew popular in the first place

Another VS2012 build issue, involving ICU support.
When ICU is enabled ("-icu" on the configure command line, along with a proper build of ICU in VS2012 and proper inclusion of all ICU paths (header, .lib, and .dll)), Line 688 of "qtbase\src\corelib\codecs\qtextcodec.cpp" returns a NULL codec (ICU fails to return a codec) when asked for a codec whose name is "US-ASCII".
Later, this NULL codec variable is dereferenced by the "lrelease.exe" utility when it attempts to perform a translation during the Qt build, which crashes lrelease.exe and causes the Qt build to stop with an error.
It therefore seems to be impossible to include ICU support with a VS2012-compiler 32-bit build of Qt5.
Might someone possibly be able to confirm and/or look into this?

I have posted this question to StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15975608/icu-support-in-a-32-bit-build-of-qt5-with-the-vs2012-compiler-causes-qt5-build-f

Note the further, related issue that this means that Webkit cannot be built for VS2012, either, since Webkit requires an ICU build of Qt.
