    Default QT and windows nt4

    I have a problem with windows Nt4 and a QT simple UI application (i.e. Hello World). In particular when I launch the application on my Windows NT4 I receive an error related to a missing entry point for the method GetCharABCWidthsI into the GDI32.dll. I looked with google if there is somebody else with the same issue or if there is a GDI update for NT4 but I was not able to find a solution and/or a suggestion.
    Thanks in advance for any help about this topic.

    This is just a guess, but I would expect that much has been changed since NT4 in the windows API resulting in calls that do not exist or have different signatures.
    You probably will be more successful running an older Qt version, probably Qt3.X or earlier.

    Do you write clean code? - if you are TDD'ing then maybe, if not, your not writing clean code.

    which version of qt are you using?
    I think they removed support for Win9x/ME (and NT too may be?) .. read here http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2009/07/03/win9xme-no-more/

    frankly for the moment I have tried the last sdk opensource version so and the last for vs2008 but recompiled for vs2005. In any case I had the same issue.
    Thanks again!

    AFAIK the last Qt versions running with NT4 are 4.5.x.

    Compiled with VS 2003.

    Hi Everyone,
    does any one is able to static comile the qt application and execute it on Windows NT platform.
    I am facing the same issue with 4.5.3, my release build is crashing with illegal instruction on WIN NT 4.0 but Debug build is working fine.
    It would be great if someone can share their research releated to same on win NT.

    Kind Regards
    c kumar
