[PySide] PySide 1.1.1 - Problems building pyside with Qt 4.8.0 both debug and release version on windows

[Bjørn Helge Kjøsnes]

Hi all,

I have not been able to make the PySide 1.1.1 compile with QT 4.8.0 and  
Python 2.7.3  on Windows with Visual Studio 2008 and CMake 2.8.8. 
Replacing QT 4.8.0 with QT 4.7.4 all compiles and installs.

This is what I have done so far:
On my disk, all code is in a Project folder on the E: drive where I have 
a folder for Python, for QT and for PySide. In pyside I have the 
depending libraries  that I explicitly adds to my cmake command.

I am able to compile shiboken from "Visual Studio 2008 Command prompt", 
but when I try to build PySide  I get this error:

[  6%] Building CXX object 
PySide/QtCore/CMakeFiles/QtCore.dir/PySide/QtCore/qfile_wrapper.cpp.obj
qfile_wrapper.cpp
E:\Projects\PySide\pyside-qt4.8+1.1.1\buildrelease\PySide\QtCore\PySide\QtCore\qfile_wrapper.cpp(1752) 
: error C2661: 'QFileWrapper::open' : no overloaded function takes 3 
arguments
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\PROGRA~2\MICROS~1.0\VC\bin\cl.exe' :

Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual 
Studio 9.0\VC\BIN\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.


If anyone can point me in the right direction, I can give it a try to 
make a fix. I do code in both C++ and Python in other projects and 
PySide have become an important library for me on the Windows platform.

Kind regards
