Problem building Qt 5.0.1 (Visual Studio 2005)

[fnxweb]

I've fallen at the first hurdle trying to build Qt 5.0.1 (from the opensource ZIP). I've successfully built 4.6.2 and 4.8.3 recently with no issues, simply by running the standard configure -> nmake sequence.

With Qt5, however, I'm getting a link error when configure itself tries to build qmake at the start of the process. Is this an issue with support for VS2005, or am I missing a trick?

IIRC, Qt 5 needs at least VS2008 to build or better 2010

http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/interest/2013-February/006038.html It's a bug in MSVC 2005

OK, thanks, thought it'd be something like that.

I'll have to wait till we get VS2012 then.
