This is what I use on windows to compile up Qt. Use a "Visual Studio Command
Prompt" to navigate to the top level of the Qt source code. Then issue this:

configure -nomake demos -nomake examples -debug-and-release -shared -fast
-exceptions -stl -graphicssystem runtime -no-qt3support

NOTE: those options are how _I_ like my Qt built. Your choices may vary. Use
configure --help to get the full list. For Visual Studio you will ABSOLUTELY
want -debug-and-release as an option.
