Need help compiling qt 3.3.8 on Win32 with MinGW ( gcc 4.5.2 )

[extremoburo]

Hi all,

I'm facing ( not unespectedly ) problems compiling qt 3.3.8 on Win32 with MinGW ( latest at the moment I'n writing ) who provides gcc 4.5.2

$ mingw32-gcc.exe --version
mingw32-gcc.exe (GCC) 4.5.2

I came across a first issue which I solved adding :

extern bool qt_sendSpontaneousEvent(QObject *, QEvent *);

in src\gui\inputmethod\qwininputcontext_win.cpp

But can't really find any help to solve this one :

Any tip is really appreciated! thanks in advance.

I doubt Qt 3.3 supported MinGw 4.5.

Best tip: upgrade to a more recent Qt, like 4.7.1 if at all possible!

Thanks for your reply. I need to use version 3.3.8 .

If it is not possible i'd rather go back to gcc3. what would you suggest?

Hey,

I had a similar trouble while building qt3.3.2 with MinGW 4.5.
To resolve the error ‘QAxServerBase’ was not declared in this scope,
move the QAxServerBase class definition (found in qaxserverbase.cpp) above the axServerMapper() declaration.

Hope this helps.
