This is just an information to avoid multiple posts complaining about problems with Qt4 & VS2005SP1.

M$ released the first service pack for VisualStudio 2005.
After installing this service pack you will be unable to compile any Qt4 app

if anyone actually got that patch from MS, can you please send it to me? or post it somewhere? Tried contacting ms both in norway and denmark, but they say it is not an issue... great support by ms! (not)

cheers,

The thread on the MS forum was interesting:

Instead of me downloading a humongous library, unzipping it (which would take > 2 hours using Vista's unzip), patching it, figuring out the build, and then isolating it down, how about one of you two do this.
According to Brian Kramer, MVP, it will take VISTA over TWO HOURS to unzip the QT package? Wow!, is that sloooooooooow!

wow. 2 hours is slooow... or it's just MS mumbojumbo to get us all over to .net.

Actually the faulty behaviour is revealed not only with Qt but also with other libraries and Microsoft even provided a regression patch to its compiler to solve the problem. So if some MS staff says it's not an issue, you can bug them again pointing out it's their compiler that misbehaves if their central decided to do something with it. Patching Qt is only a workaround to have a working version faster than MS decides to do something about it.

Hi all.

After talking to several techs at microsoft, I finally got the patch mentioned in the KB. If any of you have troubles getting hold of the correct guys at Microsoft, feel free to PM me, and I can send you the patch.
(At least my code finally compiles again...)

Cheers,
Leif

This is Brian Kramer. At the time when I unzipped the 40 megabyte Qt download, I was using an RC version of Vista. Vista RTM takes about 20-25 minutes to unzip Qt 4.2.2. Still a long time, but significantly faster.

btw, I'm not a Microsoft employee.

The incredible slowness of unzipping on Windows XP irks me to no end, but taking 20-25 minutes to unzip Qt sources is ridiculous. I can unzip the sources on my 2Ghz FreeBSD system in thirty seconds. That's 50 times faster than Vista.

use WinRAR or winzip... the built-in zip features of windows is really slow.
Winrar uses only about 4-5 mins here. :)

Which is still quite long compared to 30 sec ;)

I could successfully build the OpenSource versions of Qt4.2.2, Qt4.2.3, and Qt4.3.0 with VC++ Express 9 Beta ("Orcas") (after applying the respective patches of the qtwin project, of course).

its really a hassle to go through all the MS registration pages just to DL a fix for their compiler.
I am uploading the fix (22MB) to http://thehotfixshare.net because i didn't see it there.
I am uploading it under the name "hotfix KB930198 for devstudio 2005 sp1 - 298251_ENU_i386_zip.exe" enjoy !

Just wanted to say to all that MS now have opened this fix:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/930198

Should be downloadable if you join the MS connect program.
