[Qt-interest] build errors

[Bence Magyar]

When I worked on Windows with Qt I also came across this thing. It's a shame
that the default windows Qt installer does not add itself to the default
system PATH.

Here's what I did:
Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables

Added this to PATH: (!!!!"Add" means append!!!!)

C:\Qt\2010.01\qt\bin;C:\Qt\2010.01\bin;C:\Qt\2010.01\mingw\bin;
(use whatever Qt directory you have)

Based on your error file it seems that it pulls the visual c++ stuff instead
of the standard lib :)
Since the PATH is read from left to right if it's an include situation and
you want your visual c++ stuff untouched adding the above may not be the
resolution. If you put it to the end of the PATH, it never will be reached
when iterating through the libraries and if you put it before the visual c++
directories it will mess them up (but worth a try :)).

I suggest you hack around with the .pro file.
You could add INCLUDEPATH to the .pro file with for example:
C:\Qt\2010.01\mingw\include\string.h

I hope some of these helps you :)

Cheers,

Bence
