Ok, good to know. It would be nice if the -nomake <xxx> flags were documented in configure -help. > I haven't used "-fast" and "-dont-process" myself, maybe that one causes > problems. > >>I then run qmake on the qtsdk.pro with the following command ... >> >> qtbase\bin\qmake.exe ^ >> -r ^ >> -Wnone ^ >> qtsdk.pro ^ >> CONFIG*=silent ^ >> -after ^ >> CONFIG*=warn_off > > You don't have to run qmake on your own (and you shouldn't). Just run > mingw32-make / jom. I use -dont-process and run qmake myself because I don't know of any other way to avoid the wall of gcc output and warnings. I'm not even sure -fast does anything. I just put it in there because configure -help listed it as an option and I like things to be fast. >> Note that these are simplified versions of the commands.

Is jom faster than mingw32-make -j2 on a dual core cpu? I suspect it is not. ~ af _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
