Porting 4.4.2 to 4.7.0

[wysota]

May be, may be not!

Maybe they are related to the phase of the current that happened to be flowing through the power socket when he clicked the build button...

I have not seen any error messages from Lee until now.

Qt 4.7 is source-compatible with Qt 4.4.

So, what's wrong to install Qt 4.4.2 and compile the programm with that?

1. time/money spent downloading/installing/setting up Qt 4.4.2
2. no progress - he wants to build the application with 4.7 and not 4.4.
3. no relation between getting things to build with 4.4 and 4.7 - even if it builds against 4.4, it doesn't mean 4.7 incompatibility is to "blame", for example if you make some stupid mistake each time you install 4.7, the fact that your 4.4 installation works correctly will get you nowhere if you keep repeating the same mistake during each and every install of 4.7.

And between 4.4 there were also 4.5 and 4.6 and releases of each of the minor versions. This gives well over 10 installations you need to perform just to click one "build" button to see nothing has changed since the previous release.

Hi,

Thanks to everyone who has posted replies. The information given has been very helpful and thought provoking, and I will follow up the various strategies you have suggested to get the application running.
I am unable to post the exact error messages etc at the moment due to being away from the office. I will look at trying some of your ideas as soon as I get back.

Thanks again,
Lee.
