[Qt-interest] Qt 4.4.0 does not compile (nmake)

[Malyushytsky, Alex]

First, I would advice you against using 4.4.0 now. Get 4.4.3. It would not fix your build problem, but it will save time later.


If it does not compile, it might be mis-cofigured or you are trying to build it without proper environment set (or environment for not only VS compilers set).
It looks like your are trying to rebuild QT over previously built version (changing configuration?).
In this case I would suggest you to either build in the different folder or at least use don't forget to use
"nmake confclean" before re-running configure

I would suggest you to do the following:

1. Start Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt. Go to QT folder. Run "nmake confclean",  if  QT was already built there.

2. If you have/had mingw or other compiler(s) which may use variables below installed, check that following variable have only appropriate VS/SDK files/folders listed:
PATH=
INCLUDE=
LIB=
LIBPATH=

3. Make sure there is only one QT version is listed in the PATH (ex: c:\Qt\4.4.3\bin).
4. Check which platform is build when you build QT, explicetely specify it, if necessary (-platform win32-msvc2005)
5. Run configure, build QT


Hope this helps,
  Alex Malyushytsky

I have the same problem. I googled all over the place, and some people say they managed to solve the issue, but I have msvc2005 and everyone else i've seen who uses msvc2005 and is trying to build the win-commercial from source is also having problems. Why is it even looking for dshow.h if I am not using mingw? dshow.h seems to be a mingw-related file.

I am using the 32bit version of winxp, I have msvc2005, the nov2008 directX SDK, and I can't build qt4 with phonon support.

Here the failure:
----
Code wird generiert...
       link /LIBPATH:"c:\Programme\Qt\msvc\4.4.0\lib" [...]
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: Datei "..\..\..\..\plugins\imageformats\qjpeg4.dll"
kann nicht geöffnet werden.
[...]


(for the non-German readers of the list: "File ... could not be opened")

Did you exclude the obvious reasons:
- disk full?
- access rights?
- qjpeg4.dll in use by a running application?


Ah, yes I had designer and assistend opened...

However now the compilation fails with phonon:

c:\programme\qt\msvc\4.4.0\src\3rdparty\kdebase\runtime\phonon\ds9\compointer.h(
21) : fatal error C1083: Datei (Include) kann nicht geöffnet werden: "dshow.h":
No such file or directory

what is wrong now?

Matthias
