Hello,

i have problems compiling Qt 4.4.1 on a WinXP 32bit machine. I tried to compile it with the latest MS Visual C++ 2008 Express SP1.

it gives the following error... here is a part of the build log:

I saw this problem also on the german Qt Forum, there someone suggested to disable building the Qt-Webkit module. Here's the thread.. http://www.qtforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=36806&sid=2ac604ddadd46a3650695d464a42c565

Does anyone have similar problems or a better solution? :)

To resolve, remove the line “#include <xmath.h>” from C:\qt\4.4.0\src\3rdparty\webkit\JavaScriptCore\wtf \MathExtras.h

The header file xmath.h does a #define _F0 1, and the file xrefwrap uses the name _F0 as a parameter in a templates.

This is an issue that Microsoft needs to fix.

Thx, it seems to do the trick :D

It's building again.... :)

Microsoft are unlikeley to fix this - see https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=361804&wa=wsignin1.0 (if you can log in).

Its an issue than might need directing towards the WebKit developers, or I can see this change beeing needed for every Qt release until VC10 finally breaks it.
