The instructions bellow were intended to be a batch file, but I'd rather use
the instructions individually to take more control on what's going on.

rem      DEPENDENCIES:
rem      - installl VisualStudio 8
rem          install in default folders, OR ...
rem      - install Microsoft Platform SDK (optional, I guess)
rem          install in "C:\MSPlatformSDK\" ;
rem      - install OpenGL:
rem          read "README-win32.txt" and,
rem          edit file .\lib\glut\glut32.dsp replacing "\VC98\" with "\VC\"
;
rem      - install DirectX SDK
rem          install in "C:\DirectX\" ;
rem      - install NMAKE.exe
rem          copy the files to folder "C:\Windows\" ;
rem
rem      OPCIONALS
rem      - install OpenSSL:
rem          install in "C:\openssl" and check its dependencies:
rem          - install NASM:
rem              copy NASM.EXE to folder "C:\Windows\" ;
rem          - install Perl:
rem              just for the build process, can be removed afterwards ;
rem              don't forget to add the Perl executable directory to the
PATH environment variable ;
rem
rem      now you may copy/paste the instruction lines bellow to a "cmd"
console:

C:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat" rem OR
"C:\Arquivos de programas\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat" if
you use a brazilian portuguese OS, like me
rem "C:\MSPlatformSDK\SetEnv.Cmd" /XP32 /RETAIL        rem needed, at least,
for "dshow.h" for the phonon backend
"C:\DirectX\Utilities\bin\dx_setenv.cmd"
rem set QT_PATH=C:\Qt\4.5.2
set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;C:\openssl\include
set LIB=%LIB%;C:\openssl\lib;
set PATH=%QT_PATH%\bin;%PATH%
cd %QT_PATH%
rem configure -opensource -exceptions -qmake -mmx -sse -sse2 -stl
-debug-and-release -shared -no-fast -qt-sql-sqlite -no-qt3support -platform
win32-msvc2005 -qt-zlib -qt-libpng -qt-gif -qt-libmng -qt-libjpeg
-qt-libtiff -graphicssystem raster -dsp -vcproj -direct3d -arch windows
-webkit -qt-crt -scripttools -no-phonon -no-phonon-backend -qt-style-windows
-qt-style-windowsxp -qt-style-windowsvista -qt-style-plastique
-qt-style-cleanlooks
configure -opensource -exceptions -qmake -stl -debug-and-release -shared
-no-fast -qt-sql-sqlite -no-qt3support -platform win32-msvc2005 -qt-zlib
-qt-libpng -qt-gif -qt-libmng -qt-libjpeg -qt-libtiff -graphicssystem raster
-direct3d -arch windows -webkit -qt-crt -scripttools -no-phonon
-no-phonon-backend -qt-style-windows -qt-style-windowsxp -qt-style-plastique
y
nmake
rem      now wait for several hours

rem      the following will remove temporary build files
nmake clean

rem      this will clean configuration cache (or database, or whatever)
rem nmake confclean

rem     this will do a complete clean, including built files (I prefer to
remove the entire folder and get it back from the tarball again :-P )
rem nmake distclean


rem        ... OR, in a MSYS shell ...
rem        export QT_PATH=/c/Qt/4.5.2
rem        export PATH=$PATH%:$QT_PATH/bin
rem        cd $QT_PATH
rem        ./configure -debug-and-release -shared -qt-sql-sqlite
-no-qt3support -platform win32-g++      -qt-zlib -qt-libpng -qt-gif
-qt-libmng -qt-libjpeg -qt-libtiff -graphicssystem opengl -graphicssystem
raster -no-dsp -no-vcproj           -arch windows -webkit -qt-crt
rem        mingw32-make
rem        rem        now wait for several hours


Hope this helps
