Building Qt 5 from source with MinGW - wrong headers being used

[t3685]

Hi,

I'm trying to build Qt 5 from source for testing purposes using MinGW. However I have Visual Studio 6.0 still installed to maintain older projects.

I set up my path as follows:

@PATH=C:\Perl\site\bin;C:\Perl\bin;C:\MinGW\bin@

In the qtbase folder I use the following command to configure the build

@configure.bat -developer-build -opensource -confirm-license -nomake demos -nomake examples -nomake tests -opengl desktop@

and then I run mingw32-make

However I get the following error:

@mingw32-make[4]: *** [.obj/release_shared/qlatincodec.o] Error 1
mingw32-make[3]: *** [release] Error 2
mingw32-make[2]: *** [sub-tools-bootstrap-make_first] Error 2
mingw32-make[1]: *** [sub-tools-make_first] Error 2
mingw32-make: *** [sub-src-make_first] Error 2@

and I get many errors similar to this:

@C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include/xstring:86:28: error
: '_Len' was not declared in this scope
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include/xstring:87:15: error
: '_Ptr' was not declared in this scope
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include/xstring:88:11: error
: there are no arguments to '_Eos' that depend on a template parameter, so a dec
laration of '_Eos' must be available [-fpermissive]@

Now I assume that the configuration/build is somehow using the wrong headers and I was wondering what I can do to avoid this.

Thanks!
