Hi,

I have a cosmetic problem with the the qtdemo app. I build qt 4.7.4 from 
source and the qtdemo application shows "Could not load description. 
Ensure thtat the documentation for Qt is built."

To summarize what I have done to compile Qt:

System: Windows 7 x64
BuildChain: MSVC 2010 SP1 32bit version

1. I downloaded latest sources from nokia qt ftp server 
(ftp://ftp.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.4.zip)
2. Installed Active Perl x64 and Python 2.7 for windows
3. Extracted sources to "C:\Qt\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.4"
4. in an MSVC Command promt I did a "mkdir C:\Qt\4.7.4" and "cd" there
5. Configured with "..\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.4\configure 
-ltcg -mp -no-qt3support" for a shadow build
6. build everything with "nmake debug && nmake release && nmake docs && 
nmake clean"

The documentation is build, but I still get the message "Could not load 
description. Ensure thtat the documentation for Qt is built." for every 
top level menu point.

Any suggestions what I did wrong? Or is it a bug in Qt? I found this 
https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-11803 but it is closed.
