    hi,

    i've successfully got my program running on a fresh windows 8 install, and now i'm trying it on a windows xp machine. when running it, i get the following error message:

    "The procedure entry point _vsnprintf_s could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll"

    i have found one thread on a forum which may describe the problem:

    http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=AANLkTik5hq4_+R=bQf_gXSirc+U7gf2PJdTX+nmtRSUM@mail.gmail.com&forum_name=mingw-w64-public

    they say that it is necessary to link against msvcr80.dll instead of msvcrt.dll , so i tried adding

    -lmsvcr80 to QMAKE_CXXFLAGS but that didn't seem to work.

    any tips?

    with thanks
