[Qt-interest] qmake, nmake and Windows 7

[Sven Grunewaldt]

I'm currently testing the Windows 7 Beta and I'm facing a problem with
Qt and Visual Studio 2008.

It seems that qmake in combination with nmake is broken while creating a
vcproj and compiling WITHIN VS works fine.

The error appears after the linker:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

\lib\qt-4.4.3\lib" /NOLOGO /INCREMENTAL:NO /MANIFEST

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know that Windows 7 is still a beta OS but maybe we can figure out
what the problem is... Somehow either the linker or a process before
renders the executable useless.
As I mentioned above compiling the same example (tutorial/t1) within VS
by doing "qmake -tp vc" works fine.
