How to get real headers in windows?

[dbf]

Hi Folks,

I just recognized that the header files on windows (SDK 4.5 compiled from source) are just re-directions in the src folder:

include/QtGui/qwidget.h just contains another include:

#include "../../src/gui/kernel/qwidget.h"

#include "../../src/gui/kernel/qwidget.h"

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

On Linux the headers in include/ are the real header files so there is no reason to keep the whole src/ directory. So my question is: can I tell nmake or configure.exe to install real headers instead of using this redirection? I do not want to use the complete SDK directory, just public headers and libs in arbitrary locations, no sources.

If there is no configure switch, can I just copy the header files from the Linux SDK to a windows machine? Are there any platform dependent parts within those header files?

Thanks for any hints.

Try:

configure.bat -prefix C:\path\to\Qt

and run (n)make install after building Qt.

Thanks a lot, all headers are 'real' now

Just for the record: It works if one creates the target directory manually and copies the mkspecs folder into that directory. Otherwise configure.exe will fail.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem when running configure.exe with the -prefix flag?

Yeah I get that problem all the time. No biggy to me.
