I downloaded QT 4.1.1 OpenSource and can't get it to configure.
I tried:
configure -platform win32-msvc.net
but it reports:
Invalid option "win32-msvc.net" for -platform.

Trying to set QMAKESPEC to win32-msvc.net and running just "configure" yields an error to the same effect.

Any ideas?

You have to use MinGW for open-source edition.

You can use the prebuilt installation, qt-win-opensource-4.1.1-mingw.exe, at:

Is there a particular reason for this? Does the commercial version support MSVC? If so, why not the open source one?

Yes.

there is a way you can patch the opensource version.. so it will support msvc.net and msvc2005..

I wonder how Trolltech takes this kind of patch.....
As I have understood it's against their policy.

What is against their policy? Don't understand this...
Qt-opensource-win is GPL and the patch is too - so what to blame?

Thanks to all for the quick and helpfull responses.
My interest in QT (at this time) is so I can build and debug KDiff3 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdiff3/). KDiff3 was working well before Corp IT started remotely administering our Windows machines. Now KDiff3 takes 10-20 seconds to start.
Using SysInternals' FileMon I see a bunch of stuff happening, including BUFFER OVERFLOW results. So I wanted to step through KDiff3 in a debugger to find the source(s) of these problems.

Thanks again.
