Qt 4.3.2 opensource + Vista + VS2005 Error

[DETconan]

The process of configure.exe is finished with no error.

d:\qt-win-opensource-src-4.3.2>configure.exe -prefix D:\Qt4 -release -plugin-sql
-odbc -plugin-sql-sqlite -qt-gif -qt-libpng -qt-libmng -qt-libjpeg -saveconfig 0
71024

After this, I run the nmake. After about twenty minutes, Error message is occupied like this:

pensource-src-4.3.2\lib" /NOLOGO /BASE:0x65000000 /INCREMENTAL:NO /DLL /MANIFEST

I am learner of Qt. Please help me.

That's a msvc problem because mt.exe tries to update the manifest but the dll is still opened by another process. Try using ntfs as filesystem. Sometimes it's also working when you try to link it again (and again and again...). This was the reason why I switched to ntfs file system. There the filetimes are more accurate and the error does not happen.

OK. I'll try it. Thanks a million for your reply.

I am sorry.

I find all the disk in my computer are ntfs file system.

So If there are some other reasons will cause the mt.exe problem.

Sometimes (but very rarely) it can also happen there. You just have to retry. Do you have a virus scanner running in the background which maybe tries to scan the newly created lib?

See also msdn for this issue.

It's succeed now. I just call "nmake" again after the error message occupied.

Then I find QtGUI4.dll is missing from ..\bin. But I find it in the folder ../lib.

Then I copy this dll file to ..\bin and run the QtDemo.............Wa.... It's ok now.

Thanks a million.
