Rebuilding Qt 4.5.0

[mpele]

I have installed SDK Qt 4.5.0 for windows and it works correctly.

When tried to rebuild I had problem.
During execution of command:
configure
Error is reported.

copy qmake.exe C:\Qt\2009.01\qt\bin\qmake.exe
        1 file(s) copied.

As I figured out that some path are incorect and i have changed this path to real one in qt\bin\qtvars.bat. It looks like that path is staticly defined in configure.exe

Could anyone help me?

Did you used the -platform option correctly?

I have the same problem too installing qt-sdk-win-opensource-2009.01.exe. This problem is not reported in Bug Traker :/

Try to install qt 4.5 and rebuild, this log:

Hello everybody !

I have the same problem ! Eveyone has a solution for this problem ?

[noobasaurus]

I have been looking around for the same fix. I dont think there is anyway to fix this though i think its a problem with the code. I do have a workaround which I used to make it work.

I used junction http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb896768.aspx

It is a tool that lets you create symbolic links (just like ln -s in linux)

I created the directory structure of

C:/qt-greenhouse/Trolltech/Code_less_create_more/Trolltech/Code_less_create_more/Troll/4.5.0/qt\mkspecs

but only up to the Troll folder. I used junction after and pointed the 4.5.0 folder to the 2009.01 folder. In my case the command was:

junction C:/qt-greenhouse/Trolltech/Code_less_create_more/Trolltech/Code_less_cre
ate_more/Troll/4.5.0 C:\qt\2009.01

junction C:/qt-greenhouse/Trolltech/Code_less_create_more/Trolltech/Code_less_cre
ate_more/Troll/4.5.0 C:\qt\2009.01

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

after running the command i could do configure and all the files it wants to add to the QT directory its going to add to the correct one C:\qt\2009.01\qt .

I dont know if this is a good idea long term but it works for me for now. Im sure they will fix it.

Absolutely perfect for me. I had the same problem but with this solution now it works. Thanks a lot !

Hello !

I confirm! The method of recompilation with " junction.exe " works... Good luck !!

[anupamgee]

hi All,
I executed junction.exe and i have changed the path using junction. after that i typed ./configure -static .It ran successfully and then it asked to run mingw32-make .I run this and it took lots of time and finally ENDED with an error
"can not find -lQtGuid " .I am stuck.
WHAT to do?

[yurkewds]

Hi!! I was getting this error too when running CMake to build the openCV library and this worked for me too!!
Only advice I would give to beginners would be that to enter the code displayed above, go to a windows prompt, go to the directory that you saved junction.exe in, and then enter the code
For example for me I did:
Windows Command Prompt:
cd C:\Junction
Code...

I was trying to open junction.exe by double clicking but that wasn't working
