Can't build samples

[kalons]

I downloaded and installed qt-sdk-win-opensource-2010.05.exe on Win7 x64. When I start Qt Creator, choose any example and build, I get errors:

How to get it to work correctly? Thanks.

This directory where is the source, isnt protected by Win7?
Try to copy the source to other place like your desktop for example, and try compile it again.

All users have full rights to D. The error message doesn't suggest a problem reading/writing files. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling on the C drive with the same result. It works OK on a WinXP virtual machine, so I'm guessing there is some sort of incompatibility with Win7?

[Lykurg]

It puzzles me that you use mingw but one the -L option points to vs. What mkspec do you have use while running qmake? How does your makefile look like? Also try to clean up the directory and start again my using qmake with explicit mingw mkspec.

[kalons]

Is there a way to use Qt Creator + VS rather than mingw? There didn't seem to be a download option for that combination.

[Lykurg]

Yes download the library and QtCreator separate. The SDK came with mingw compiled Qt libraries.
