hi,
i am unable to find any doc regarding this, so i m posting this problem.
i have evaluation version of Qt 4.2.2(commercial version) and i m using the compiler Microsoft VC 6.0 (plz dnt ask me to change the compiler at this point)
now i install Qt anf VC. All the env var are set.
now on cmd prompt (as i m not using any IDE) i do the following :

C:\Qt\4.2.2>nmake

I think some MSVC environment is setup incorrectly. stddef.h is a Windows include file, looks like cl (the compiler) can't find it. Seems like Qt has nothing to do with it - you couldn't compile a non-Qt application as well. Did you use the "Qt command prompt" to open the console?
