Qt 4.7.0 source compilation errors (MSVC 2010, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit)

Hi,

I tried building Qt 4.7.0 source files (qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.0.zip) statically several times and had no success at all, I'm getting just the same results as here http://www.qtcentre.org/archive/index.php/t-22631.html. The difference is that in my case absolutely nothing is resolved

I've tried the following instructions:
http://www.formortals.com/how-to-statically-link-qt-4/
http://www.formortals.com/build-qt-s...-gcc-compiler/
http://sync-swc.weebly.com/6/post/20...n-windows.html
and many other...

I also have "Cannot determine the location of the VS Common Tools folder" just after Visual Studio command prompt start, but fixed it somehow with http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/For...b-33aefa6fb37a.

I would appreciate any help because I'm exhausted and installing-uninstalling consumes so much time.

MS Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
MS Visual Studio 2010 32-bit

Not a solution for your problem (sorry about that), but a question:
Why do you need to build Qt statically?

To have a deployable .exe from the very project beginning. Is there any other way to build my application statically?

You do know that the license is very different when you statically link Qt into your program?

Why don't you distribute the Qt dll's with your project? It's not that difficult.
