Dear all, I am trying to compile Qt 4.8.0 on Windows. My set-up is: - Windows 7 (64 bit) fully updated - mingw32 provided by Qt Creator 2.4.0 - install path c:\Development\Libraries\Qt-4.8.0mingw32-src
c:\Development is actually the mount point of a second NTFS formatted hard drive not just a folder on c: On this set-up I could compile 4.7.4 without any problems. Now I am trying to compile Qt 4.8.0. Again I downloaded the source tar ball from the web site, unpacked it, and tried to run configure (same as before). The first problem I encountered was that syncqt requires Perl which I don't have installed. Reading the comments at http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/12/15/qt-4-8-0-released/ suggested that could simply delete these files as they are only(?) needed when compiling the git sources. Removing the files lets me run configure. When I do this, however, I get the following messages features\debug_and_release.prf:1: Unknown test function: addExclusiveBuilds multiple times. After it was finished, I typed mingw32-make which wouldn't stop spawning sub processes that actually didn't do anything. Back on the internet I found a Qt bug report which seems to be related to my problem QTBUG-20431 QFileInfo::isSymLink() broken for NTFS mount point folders https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-20431 This bug is marked as fixed for version 4.8.0 (28.07.11) but the environment tag states Environment: Windows Vista MSVC 2008 So I was wondering if the win 7 / mingw set-up slipped the tests or if I am facing a different problem. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers Christian
