Error building QtMobility

[Kwakkie]

Hello all

I try to build QtMobility 1.2.0 on windows, but it fails. I have Qt 4.8.0 compiled and installed and I'm able to create projects using Qt Creator and Visual Studio 2010

Steps I did:
Download the sources from the Qt website
Unpacked in a folder
Opened a visual studio command line
Configure
nmake

I get the following error in the nmake:

C:\Qt\QtMobility>nmake

Any ideas?

I am using Qt Mobility along with Visual Studio 2008 + Qt 4.7.2. Unfortunately I don't remember exactly how to build it, but I remember you need to install Perl for that.

I believe you need perl for Qt as well. I have perl installed and Qt compiled fine. Anyway, the error doesn't look like it's perl related. It looks like a QMobility namespace issue which suggests some problems in code, declaration or package setup. Either way, it looks like a general problem.
