I need help installing QT4.4.0 Open Source on Windows, to compile with Visual Studio

[AlonL]

Yes, it is.
And after adding the /i flag to ignore errors, I'm actually not getting the first error, but getting the U1077's, which is odd since I've already done the /i thingie before and it has worked...
Any ideas?

EDIT: Oh, wait, I just scrolled up some, the 1033s are still there, about 6-7 of them, all referring to the vc90.pdb file, but from different source files

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

You really should find the first error message

[AlonL]

I'm dumping the output to a file right now, will attach when its finished.

[AlonL]

Its been running for a while now without any problem, I'm pretty sure I've actually gone past the problematic part, and the dump is almost 2MB in size now.

[AlonL]

Goddammit, it was running fine till it BSOD'D
Crap... All over again.
Update: It's jammed again, same error, same type and name of file - vc90.pdb, different location and size.
Sigh.

Maybe I should backstep to 4.3.2

[AlonL]

Look, it comes down to this, the problem IS the C1033, theres no other explanation.
It keeps happening with the different vc90.pdb files in the package.
Any ideas?
EDIT:
The source of the problem seems to be that there are multiple compiles going on at once (?)
I have no idea how the nmake compiles the libs, but I can clearly see several nmake processes open at once.
Definite access problems.
Clues anyone?

[moowy]

Some people have reported problems when compiling using multiple processes. The solution to that is that u specify that u want only one process to compile by using -MP switch and putting it in the qmake spec with the appropriate QMAKESPEC variable (example win32-mscv2008).

p.s.: I have successfully compiled qt 4.4 using 2 threads with visual studio 2008 and had no problems with it.

Hi,

I've a quick quide on setting up and using Qt on windows.
If you use vs2005 be sure to install some updates since that can cause you grievance otherwise.
