[Qt-interest] Qt 4.6 fails to be build from source

[Malyushytsky, Alex]

Thanks for response.

As far as I know MinGW does not support 64 bit code at least under the Windows, which I need to produce too.
And I am restricted to compiler anyway - I need binary compatibility with Intel Fortran compiler under the Windows.
Still VS is primary supported compiler according to QT documentation.

It is used just to store currently build configuration. Can't be source of the problem.

>>-platform win32-msvc2005
was missing, the default target for windows is win32-g++

Previous installation of QT (at least until QT4.6) were able to recognize compiler (since I have only  one installed on the system, there is no option) and VS project files were generated by QT.

Anyway adding -platform win32-msvc2005 does not help.

Moc still fails.

    Alex

Does anything force you to use VS? If not: switch to a full SDK-installation with MinGW.

I suspect two things:

-saveconfig ...
saves to a different file, while you really want to target the default; leave it out and try again

-platform win32-msvc2005
was missing, the default target for windows is win32-g++

You'll need to do a "make clean" before you can rebuild.
