Qt Integration with Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition, how do I do this correctly?

I've been having some trouble getting Qt 4.7.3 (open source) set up with my Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition. I have quite a few reasons for using VC++ over MinGW or Qt Creator, mostly just because I want to keep my develpment environment consistent.

I started out by using the online install for Qt 4.7.3 for Windows (using Windows 7). Here are the features I currently have installed:

After I installed that, I went to C:\QtSDK\QtSources\4.7.3 via the command line and typed in "configure -platform win32-msvc2010". I set it to Open Source Edition and accepted the licence agreement, here's the output that it gave me:

I can assume that a return code of -1 isn't good, not to mention the ".lib not found" error messages. One problem is I honestly have no clue what "qmake" and "nmake" are supposed to do or how they're supposed to affect my VC++ workflow. I really haven't gone very far beyond adding .libs and include files in terms of compiler settings, so I suppose I'm not surprised at how far I've gotten with this so far. :p I have quite a bit of experiance with software coding and C++'s syntax, but not as much experiance with implementing new development environments in this kind of depth.

So what should I do now to get the most ideal Qt workflow with VC++? My main goal in terms of using Qt are to create a world editor and other game engine tools using OpenGL 3.x (and possibly OpenGL ES once I focus more on mobile development), as well as Win32 when needed. Help is appreciated! :)

since you are building Qt from sources, you are going to need a 'make' utility. In your case, you want to use nmake.exe. I'm not sure if it comes with VC++, it might just be a matter of putting the folder where nmake is located in your path.

It has been a while since I used VC++ , but I remember something about setting up variables and path for command line tools by running vcvars32.bat?

I'm using the Visual Studio command line now, which fixes my issue with finding nmake. Once I go to C:\QtSDK\QtSources\4.7.3, I run vcvars32 and configure -platform win32-msvc2010. Here's the output that really changed in terms of nmake execution:

Now it doesn't seem to work cause all of the files are out of line. Don't know why this is. Any more advice?

EDIT: I've installed a few more things in Qt:

Still doesn't fix anything, though. Somebody please help me out with this, it's been on my mind for a while now. I have absolutely no clue why I'm getting all these "No such file or directory" errors.
