Windows SDK setup fails (required for phonon)

[Erik-Moscow]

If you don’t believe me, you can just read documentation: «Qt for Windows Requirements»
(It’s vary easy to check...)

Ok, I give up. It is also mentioned here:
http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6/phonon-o...talling-phonon

But what does this mean:

If you are using a source code package of Qt, you must first install Perl so that the syncqt script invoked by configure can be executed.

I never required such a script for compiling 4.5.x with VS 2005, nor for compilation of phonon.

[Erik-Moscow]

Perl (and all about syncqt, etc.) is unnecessary. My script — just a convenient addition.

[pospiech]

@Erik-Moscow: can you add the script as a file? Copy paste copies all line numbers too, which messes up the whole code.

Thank you, in the meanwhile I found out it is rather easy to patch setenv.cmd to work (only patch the path in a single line).
However then I have to pass the target system, which is not detected automatically and no matter what target is choses it displays afterwards:

Targeting Windows XP x86 DEBUG

************************************************** ********************************
WARNING: The VC++ Compiler Toolset is not using Windows SDK v7.0. To use Windows

does this mean that SDK 7 is not useful for VC 2005 anyway?
Do I have to install the old SDK 6.1 ?

Don’t know. You can read it at specification of SDK.

Do I have to install the old SDK 6.1 ?

Installed 6A at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A and NOT USED!!!!! AS IN SCRIPT!!!! *WALL* =)
Using SDK from C:\Development\Windows 7 SDK ...

I know that you are using SDK 7, I am just confused by the warning.
I am now compiling with SDK 7, and will test if the applications are going to work on xp

SDK 7 is not compatible with MSVC 2005 (fails to link), see also other thread: http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/2760...f-phonon-fails

[Erik-Moscow]

What’s the problem? Just download MSVC2008. Install it. And use it. o_O

For me at home - no problem. At work (in this case university) - we only have VS 2005.
So there is a reason to compile phonon for 2005, for 2008 I would not even try, since Qt ships the library compiled with 2008.

[Erik-Moscow]

No other SDKs supporting Windows 7. You can try to use Qt Software SDK (mingw).
