No, not with the "MinGW configure" script it doesn't. AFAIK the "Qt MinGW" package only works for the MinGW environment (its configure script is especially tuned towards that environment), even though the Qt sources itself should be the same as in the "normal" package. But I could be wrong, maybe there /is/ a way to get the MinGW version to compile with the MS compiler.

But why bother? If you already know that you want to use VS2005 compiler (Express) then download ftp://ftp.trolltech.no/qt/source/qt-win-opensource-src-4.4.3.zip and the configure.exe should properly setup the makefiles for nmake (the Visual Studio "Make"). If you use the VS Express version don't forget to install the Microsoft platform SDK and setup the INCLUDE and LIB environment variables before typing 'configure.exe'. If you want to have DirectX support you also need to install a recent DirectX SDK. But that's all described somewhere in the Qt docs ;)

Cheers, Oliver
