Hi All,

I am having some issues building Qt from SRC on Windows. I downloaded the
Qt Code: 
  1. qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.6.1.zip
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I have hunted around the internet trying to solve my issue, to no avail. Just to get things organised this is the current specifications of my setup.

Os : Windows 7 Professional x64
Visual Studio 2010 Professional
Active State Perl ~ installed and configured

My path is setup with the aid of This Guide, the relevant commands such as nmake work as expected within cmd.

Now i have extracted the qt-community .zip contents into
C:\qt\qt461vc

As such this is where my QTDIR environmental variable is set to, i have also toyed around with just adding the directory to the PATH, this did not change anything i could see.

So in the root of Qt i execute configure and it spits out a lot of information. I will explain the process as follows.

Qt Code: 
  1. c:\qt\qt461vc>configure
  2. Which edition of Qt do you want to use ?
  3. Type 'c' if you want to use the Commercial Edition.
  4. Type 'o' if you want to use the Open Source Edition.
  5. o
  6.  
  7. This is the Qt for Windows Open Source Edition.

Then there is a significant pause, as somethinng runs in the background followed by the following.

Now the Could Not Find output statements are part of the Makefile clean, so they are to be expected when the build completely fails.

As a result i am reasonably sure the issue lies with the building of qmake, ie. this section of code.

A lot of people seem to be having this issue, however i am yet to resolve it through the numerous suggestions to check and fix the PATH Environmental Variables and Visual Studio Variables. I remember why i spend most of my time on Linux these days.

I should not during the configure i have also tried passing in the relevant -I and -L parameters, for the Windows SDK, however nothing has worked up until this point.
