Open-Source Compiler for WindowXP
Message 1 in thread
Hi All,
At the moment I am using Windows XP and need to recompile the project
under WindowXP.
I installed Cygwin and try to compile Qt 4.2 without any success.
What open source, Windows, compiler is available to compile Qt ?
Cheers,
-JR

That's not building it under XP - that's building it under a unix-like
environment
that runs under XP.

I have downloaded and installed MinGW and added the bin to the system $PATH.
In Cgywin command line window I've type: ./configure.exe
Error occured:
>>>
Creating qmake...
execute: File or path is not found (mingw32-make)
execute: File or path is not found (mingw32-make)
Cleaning qmake failed, return code -1
<<<
Any idea ?

You have to log out and log back in for environment variables to take
effect in Windows. Also make sure to remove Cygwin from your path too,
because Qt will not compile properly with Cygwin in your path. You can
check your environment by opening a command shell and typing
mingw32-make. If it can't be found, you set the path wrong.

I search for 'mingw32-make' and could not found it in the MinGW
directory and sub-directories.

Then you didn't choose the make component when installing mingw. Make
sure to check "make", "gcc" and "g++".

Don't run under cygwin... run it under cmd.exe

Well, yes. Cygwin has *nothing* to do with Qt for Windows. Cygwin is a
UNIX-like environment under Windows, so in theory you could use Qt for X11.
I am afraid you have to go back to "ye goode olde" command prompt of Windows
to launch configure. Make sure you set all the environment variables right,
especially LIB (or compiling will crash at linking time) but also INCLUDE.
Cheers,

I am wondering if everything works with mingw. What about ODBC connections and
Active-X-Controls (I dont like them too, but sometimes they are ment to be
neccessary :-( )?
Btw, is there anyone in here, who really *works* with VS 2005? This "IDE" is a
joke, isn't it? On good days, I get a "99 projects had errors, 0 projects
compiled successfully", because by basic.lib had an error... ok, too much
off-topic, sorry.

I let the opensource Win32 version of Qt download MinGW for me and it
all seems to work fine. I have cygwin installed, but if I run qmake and
mingw32-make from a cmd.exe shell, it all works. Qmake builds the
makefiles correctly, mingw32-make builds the program correctly, and the
program executes correctly. The only issue I have is that the version of
gdb that is included in MinGW doesn't recognize the result of the
compilation as an executable file, but I haven't had time to look into
this yet.
As far as Active-X controls or ODBC, if you use components that are
provided with Qt, they should work.

QMake is your friend. We also had quite intricate compiling wizardry here,
until we found out that generating (possibly adjusting) a foo.pro file and
running:
C:\...> qmake -tp vc foo.pro
would produce a ready-made, as-good-as-it-gets foo.vcproj. You double-click
it, VS2005 starts, you press F7 and that's it: minimum residence time in
VS2005 :-D

If you want a more comfortable way, you can have a look at the qhelpers at
SourceForge. My makemk is an IDE just for calling qmake with different
QMAKESPECs, compilers and runtime environments... :-)
If someone could add me an editor and a debugger, it would be *really*
great ;-) But an editor where you can say "Save as Utf-8" and please
not "Save as Utf8 if you think it has to be Utf8, else use what you want"...
