Can't configure for Win32 MSVC .NET

[brcain]

You have to use MinGW for open-source edition.

You can use the prebuilt installation, qt-win-opensource-4.1.1-mingw.exe, at:

Is there a particular reason for this? Does the commercial version support MSVC? If so, why not the open source one?

Yes.

Thanks for the link and kudos to Trolltech.

Thanks to all for the quick and helpfull responses.
My interest in QT (at this time) is so I can build and debug KDiff3 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdiff3/). KDiff3 was working well before Corp IT started remotely administering our Windows machines. Now KDiff3 takes 10-20 seconds to start.
Using SysInternals' FileMon I see a bunch of stuff happening, including BUFFER OVERFLOW results. So I wanted to step through KDiff3 in a debugger to find the source(s) of these problems.

Thanks again.

there is a way you can patch the opensource version.. so it will support msvc.net and msvc2005..

I wonder how Trolltech takes this kind of patch.....
As I have understood it's against their policy.

What is against their policy? Don't understand this...
Qt-opensource-win is GPL and the patch is too - so what to blame?
