Ha ha, sorry my chuckle here ;) That comes from previous discussions on this list where people were wondering why Qt still only ships binaries for VS 2008 and not 2010 yet - and then comes you asking for 2005 binaries! Oh by the way, did you mean the stock 2005 or SP1? And IIRC there was still some kind of hotfix (the ATL issue?) which introduced yet another C/C++ runtime incompatibility ;)

I think "officially" Qt 4.7 grogs with VS 2008 (SP?), likely Qt 4.8 will also (exclusively?) ship binaries for VS 2010.

For all other VS compiler flavours you need to compile Qt yourself. And off course use the SAME compiler for everything else, too (3rd party libs, your own code...)

Unless you unzip it to the EXACT same location (e.g. C:\Qt\4.7.1) this will fail: during compilation paths are hardcoded inside the Qt binaries, so one can't simply move the SDK around.

Cheers, Oliver
