[kreyszig]

Hi all,
I've configured with
@configure -debug-and-release -no-qt3support -no-webkit@
i've tried various build options but even
@nmake sub-src@
gives me

Any thoughts?

Have you installed VS2005 SP1? Most of the issues will be resolved by using the latest updates.

[kreyszig]

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. Just reinstalled sp1 to make sure, reconfigured again and rebuilt. Same problem. So yep, I have SP1 but still no dice.

[goetz]

Do you have your own copy of libtifff installed? Seems as if some of the headers leak in from outside Qt, where thandle_t is defined different.

[kreyszig]

it does look like that, doesn't it. I might try altering the Makefiles to output the include path and see how I get on. Thanks for the idea!

[kreyszig]

hmmm GTK 2.0 has a tiffio.h which could have been picked up.
I've deleted this and am now rebuilding...
....now it can't find tiffio.h!
I guess I have to reconfigure..in the meantime, any suggestions most welcome!

[goetz]

You will have to call configure again. Your build was configured to use the system libtiff, which now isn't available anymore.

You should call

@
configure -qt-libtiff
@

to explicitly tell Qt to use its internal tiff library.

[kreyszig]

thanks, restarted configure with that option. i'll let you know how the build goes, but it sounds like this is the way forward

[kreyszig]

that was it, thanks! phew!

It must have been something like that since I never had problems building Qt itself with MSVS 2005 with and without SP1.

And now have fun using Qt - the adventure starts right now :-)

I have built Qt once on msvc2005 and it was almost a mess (but was the old 4.2/3 which had to be patched). Then with 2008 everything went fine :-p. Still too long to build however

I never had problems with this combination. No error, no patch. Strange. But fortunately I can use the prebuilt binaries nowadays. The most annoying thing was the compile time - no "make -j8" ... it took ages.
