Qt 4.3.2 + Visual studio 2008

[moowy]

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has already tried to compile Qt with the new version of microsoft compiler, successfully that is ??

I just compiled it successfully with visual studio 2008 c++ compiler, without any problems.

Yes i try to load the ISO VS 2008 beta ... && install
and QT4 is build quickly ....
And the VS console envoirment make all qt setting on last minute...
And i can continue to work on Mingw on a normal console... Why?
Mingw error on build projekt is more easy to understanding :-)

Could you write some tutorial.
I had some problem,when compiling with vs2008 with mkspec win32-msvc2005.

Hey,

I used nothing special or extraordirnary:
i defined QMAKESPEC and QTDIR variables and than configure, nmake(in visual studio command prompt) and everything compiled successfully .

Are you using the Express version? I had professional working with 2005 but 2008 isnt compiling. I used default configure with win32-msvs2005 makespec. This is the last few dozen lines of nmake.

I have successfully compiled it with express and team suite versions, so I think, that it does not matter which version of visual studio 2008 you use. They all have the same version of compiler.

@Cramed: this is not a compiler problem. You've zlib.h in your INCLUDE Paths somewhere. Therefore configure.exe thinks you want to use system zlib instead the one shipped with Qt. enable qt-zlib (see configure.exe --help hwo to do so). Also take a look what configure.exe tells you - it prints out all relevant things.
