Problem installing Qt 4.2.3 with MSVC 2005 express edition

I have been following the instructions here and here

I had trouble running winzip wizard to download qt so I had to just drag and drop into the c:\lib\qt\4.2.3 directory.

Then I applied the qt-win patch. That seemed to go fine.

I ran vsvars32.bat script to configure the environment for the VC++ 2005 compiler... Apparently all happiness and light.

then I ran

C:\lib\qt\4.2.3>qconfigure.bat msvc20005

from which I recieved a compiler error

.\project.cpp(42) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'Windows.h': no such file or directory

I could see Windows.h in the Microsoft Include directory so I followed the suggestion above and ran the .bat with the include file explicitely specified.

>qconfigure.bat msvc2005 -I "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include -L "C:\Program Files \ Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Lib"

to no avail. The file still could not be found.

Thanks for your help.

PS from the command prompt window:

Include paths...............C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include
Additional libraries........-LC:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Window
s Server 2003 R2\Lib
Processing of project files have been disabled.
Only use this option if you really know what you're doing.

Follow this one: http://kjellkod.blogspot.com/2007/02...o-express.html

And you've tested any application with the windows header? Make sure you have installed the SDK.

Thank you for this link. It looks like qconfigure.bat's -I and -L command line options are not working. The way the link gets around that problem is by adding them to the environment variables PATH, LIB, and INCLUDE set in vcvars32.bat.

The -I and -L switches are not made to fix your build environment. They're only for 3rdparty libs like openssl or dbus...

I tried to integrate qt with msvc2005 with instructions above, but after running nmake i got this error:

Can you share your environment variables.

Pete

I followed the instructions on this site and have not had any problems using Qt with MSVC...

hope this helps,

Jonathan

environment variables:


set INCLUDE=C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include;C:\Programme\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include

set LIB=C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\lib;C:\Programme\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Lib


everything seems to work when I enter that in the command prompt before running the qconfigure (see my link above).
