Installation problems

[Perduta]

In case anyone else has this. I had to add Symbian\tools...\bin to the path:
-- Found PkgConfig: C:/QtSDK/Symbian/tools/sbs/win32/cygwin/bin/pkg-config.exe (
found version "0.23")

So next to find the missing header files:

PROCESSOR: x86
-- Target host is 32 bit
-- Looking for include file stdint.h
-- Looking for include file stdint.h - found
-- Looking for include file stdbool.h
-- Looking for include file stdbool.h - not found.
-- Looking for include file stdlib.h
-- Looking for include file stdlib.h - found
-- Looking for include file pthread.h
-- Looking for include file pthread.h - not found.
etc...

the QtSDK installed 8 copies of stdint.h in different folders and that one is being found, while it installed 10 copies of stdbool.h which is not found... so I'm a bit confused what determines where it's looking... does anyone here know?

pkg-config is a typical UNIX/Linux utility and would not normally be expected on a Windows machine. It's absence is a warning not a fatal error and neither, I suspect, are the other missing files.

The stdbool.h that should be found is the one that ships with your C99 compliant C compiler.
Visual Studio's compiler is not one of these AFAIK: see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8...l-h-in-vs-2010. GCC (as found in MingW) ships one. The header is not part of the C++ standard. Unless your code uses it, its absence is not a problem.

Win32 does not, and is unlikely to ever, support pthreads natively: hence the absent header.

Thanks for that information
I installed Qt to work on Linux Multi-Media studio. http://lmms.sourceforge.net/wiki/ind...MMS_on_Windows says it can be built in Windows and it uses MinGW which I have installed but I don't know how to configure it so that Qt knows where to look for the header files and libraries. There is a shell script that came with lmms but that doesn't work from the Qt Desktop command shell.
