QtCreator, VS2010 & compiler heap space error with large resources

[matti-]

So our Windows build is giving us:

@
qrc_data.cpp:1748020: error: C1060: compiler is out of heap space
@

Obviously our .qrc is rather big, but not that big (the final executable is under 100 megs), but apparently vs2010 compiler wont survive compiling the resource. clang on OSX / gcc on Linux compile the same project np. We tried playing around with something like this:

@
win32:QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += /Zm500
@

..to make the available heap larger. We also tried a smaller value, but apparently to no avail. So now we're stuck splitting up our .qrc files into several ones.

Mingw would probably work properly since its a port of gcc?
