Yes, I had run it.
Also I searched in my C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (March 2008) directory for dshow.h . But didnt find it.

Well I guess I dont have Platform SDK installed. Directshow has been moved to Platform SDK. I guess hence I am getting error. Will try to download SDK and re install.

Ohh yea, it was DirectShow problem. I installed the DirectShow from Platform SDK, and now Phonon is installed
Thx for looking to the prob

huh? The platform SDK comes with MSdevstudio so if you have msvc2005 you don't need to install platform sdk.

dshow.h has nothing to do with platformsdk, or directx. it's a mingw file. and if you're trying to build qt on msvc then why should it be looking for dshow.h?

Ohh yea, it was DirectShow problem. I installed the DirectShow from Platform SDK, and now Phonon is installed

I found this link which fixed me up for Phonon on XP/MSVC2005.

The platform SDK comes with MSdevstudio so if you have msvc2005 you don't need to install platform sdk.

I dont think so. dshow.h is a directX (directshow) file. Googling a little I found DirectShow part was moved to PLatform SDK instead of the directX SDK. Hence I was getting that error. When I installed platform sdk, I cud install phonon.

The link you gave too requires platform SDK. And also I didnt install whole platform SDK(since its heavy), just the DirectShow part.

Getting the solution is good, but understanding the problem is even better
