Hi,
I've compiled QT for VC9, and I want to clean everything. and Rebuild it all for VC8.
How do I clean, before I reconfigure and run make?

Thanks

The command you should run is: nmake distclean before running configure again.

Thanks!
I think there's also a configure clean thing... and how do I do that?

I don't know a clean for configure, i also checked the official tutorial (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.7/install-win.html) and it says only about nmake distclean.

Also a good advice is to keep the sources you downloaded, i always keep that archive ;)

'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

The only nmake.exe on my computer is from VC 2008... I'm uninstalling it anyways...

maybe qmake?

Added after 6 minutes:

ok, I found a way to do it...
I used the VC 2008, command line (it has its nmake.exe visible) and it's doing the distclean.

Thanks!

If you already uninstalled VS2008 try with the VS2005 nmake after you install it (i have some doubts that in will properly clean, but you can try that)

Or a better solution is to uninstall the VS2008 version of Qt, delete the folder and download the sources of Qt (http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.1.zip) and build Qt with VS2005.
The link is to the LGPL version.

I've decided to redownload the sourcecode, I need version 4.6.3.
And it seems that there are more than one release with that version...

http://get.qt.nokia.com/qtsdk/qt-sdk-win-opensource-2010.03.exe
http://get.qt.nokia.com/qtsdk/qt-sdk-win-opensource-2010.04.exe

Anyone knows what's the diff?

The SDK is builded with MingW (and installs MingW and Qt Creator IDE).

If you want to use Visual Studio it's recommended to download only the sources of Qt and build it yourself with the compiler you need (in your case the VC++ that came with VS2005)
I found this (ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/) site, you can download older releases there.
Choose the file qt-everywhere-opensource-src-VERSION_YOU_NEED
