As the friendly warning is telling you: QT_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT is defined both in qconfig.h and on the commandline given to your compiler.... ;-) Short answer: ignore this one, it is harmless. Long answer: qconfig.h contains platform configurations for Qt, most command line parameters come from the mkspec of your platform. Both describe how your platform behaves in regards to Qt. For some odd reason this define appears in both without a guard. As said above: it is harmless. Your compiler is just a bit picky about preprocessor symbols. If you absolutely and positively cannot live with this warning: A quickfix would be to include this _before_any_Qt_includes_(!!) in the cpp- file that has this problem: #ifdef QT_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT #undef QT_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT #endif A more robust fix would be to put this into the beginning of qconfig.h. It's important that this #define happens at least once, otherwise you'll have trouble handling big files.
