Hello!

I'm trying to build Qt 5 using Visual Studio 2008 SP1, Windows SDK 7.0 on Windows Vista SP2, following the guide "Building Qt 5 from Git" from qt-project.org.

I think my configuration is ok, because running the configure tool with the following command…

Qt Code: 
  1. configure -developer-build -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests -platform win32-msvc2008 -plugin-sql-sqlite
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

... I get the following result

Qt Code: 
  1. Running configuration tests...

  148.     Generating Makefiles...
  149.  
  150.  
  151.     Qt is now configured for building. Just run nmake.
  152.     To reconfigure, run nmake confclean and configure.
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Than I build with nmake, but rcc crashes the first time it run, and I get the following output

Qt Code: 
  1. C:\Qt\qt5\qtbase\bin\rcc.exe -name mimetypes mimetypes\mimetypes.qrc -o .rcc\debug\qrc_mimetypes.cpp
  2.     NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\Qt\qt5\qtbase\bin\rcc.exe' : codice restituito '0xff'
  3.     Stop.
  4.     NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN\nmake.EXE"' : codice restituito '0x2'
  5.     Stop.
  6.     NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cd' : codice restituito '0x2'

  8.     NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cd' : codice restituito '0x2'

  10.     NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cd' : codice restituito '0x2'
  11.     Stop.

So I have tried to run my rcc manually, but it crashes. If there is some error in the qrc file (eg missing file) it outputs correctly the error, but if it’s all ok in the qrc file, it crashes.

I can't understand what's wrong with my rcc.exe.
Does anybody know if there's something wrong in my configuration? Or have anybody already built Qt 5 with VS2008? Maybe I need Windows SDK 7.1 as with VS2010?

Thanks for help.
