So after following the advice in this thread:
http://www.qtforum.org/article/31561...libraries.html

I now am down to these errors:

mt.exe : general error c101008d: Failed to write the updated manifest to the resource of file "release\threadedfortuneserver.exe". Acce
ss is denied.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\mt.exe"' : return code '0x1f'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cd' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cd' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cd' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

I assume that's an install directory error, ie, trying to put things in a system directory or something. Or is it?
