    Hello (again),

    Well the subject really sums up the issue I am having while trying to build an x64 Creator. I have 40 unresolved externals reported by the build process on (......\lib\qtcreator\Utilsd.dll) along with countless LNK4217 (locally defined symbol) errors.
    @
    qmake "QT_PRIVATE_HEADERS=" ..\qtcreator.pro
    ..\jom\jom -j 4
    @
    I have followed the instructions in the README so I can't see where or what I am doing wrong. So if anyone is able to help me with this please I would appreciate it.

    Regards,

    William

      Intel compiler is not supported. None of us uses it to build Qt Creator with, so please expect trouble. If you manage to do it, please submit a patch as a "merge request":https://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator on gitorious:-)

      Some more information would be nice if you actually expect somebody to help you (like the full build log, etc.)

        Mmmm, bummer!

        Tobias, can I ask what exactly you mean when you say not supported, does this mean in x64 land due to the mkspecs for win32-icc only or are there other reasons?

        I omitted the build log due to the size limitations for posting, but when I have some time at the weekend I'll see if I can find a home for it and provide a link to it.

        And if I do succeed I will of course provide a patch.

        Regards,

        William

          "Not supported" as in: No official package is build using this compiler and none of us has ever tried to build creator with the intel compiler so far (as far as I know).

          We try to work cleanly and do build with all kinds of different compilers (incl. MSVC in different dialects, gcc 4something and occasionally even clang), so there is a good chance that it will work using the intel compilers, but we can not guarantee it will work nor provide much help in case of problems.

          Having said that: I'd be happy to get feedback on how it went. We will happily apply patches to make compilation smoother for you -- if they do not introduce problems with the compilers we do support that is.

          PS: What does "QT_PRIVATE_HEADERS=" do?

            Hi Tobias,

            This is to disable the QmlDesigner plugin as outlined in the README from the Creator sources.

            Regards,

            William
