Hi Francisco Ares,

Thanks for your ideas.
I tried buidlding QT on windows using the batch script you mentioned for
MinGW . I have added OpenSSL header files and libraries to the command line
in the configure process.

configure.exe -debug -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 -openssl -I
E:\qt\openssl-0.9.8k\openssl-0.9.8k\outinc\ -L
E:\qt\openssl-0.9.8k\openssl-0.9.8k\out\

 It has been building from 3-4 days on my PC (core 2duo 2.33Ghz*2 ,2gb ram).
The build system has stopped(it hasn't crashed but not building further)
while building /src/3rdparty/zlib/crc32. So I manually stopped the build and
ran mingw32-make.exe again in the command line. Now it built
src/3rdparty/zlib/crc32 successfully. But crashed while building rcc.exe
The logs are provided below. The strange stuff here is ,it is treating
OBJECTS_DIR = tmp/obj/debug_shared as a library.

g++ -c -g -frtti -fexceptions -mthreads -Wall -DUNICODE
-DQT_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT -
DQT_RCC -DQT_BOOTSTRAPPED -DQT_LITE_UNICODE -DQT_TEXTCODEC

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks and regards
