Can't remember the details of that one, but I think it has to do with that somewhere within the windows.h inclusion chain some weird MIN and MAX macros are defined, which then collide with the std::min and std::max STL functions used in successive #includes (or any other "min/max" function).

So either try to import/re-arrange the <window.h> header (or any other non-Qt header that implicitly includes it) last in your own sources (assuming that you don't use min/max yourself) or, IIRC, #define a macro like NO_MINMAX_DEF (?) before including <windows.h> (I think that this is what Qt does itself in the win32 specific implementation).

Search with google/the Qt archives. This is an issue since I can think of developing on Windows. ;)
