Qt 4.3.0 MinGW w32api version
Message 1 in thread
Hello,
I tried to compile Qt 4.3.0 OpenSource with previously installed MinGW
(version 5.1.3) and got an error in process of linking against win32
libs. The next try to install the precompiled Qt-MinGW package failed
because there was an error in the win32 header file w32api.h, Qt needs
version 3.2 of win32api MinGW package while the installed one is current
version 3.6.
Why does Qt need this particular version of w32api, I was supposed to
use the current version of Win32-API package?
Thanks for all hints,
Billy

I don't have my windows pc running atm, but qt-copy always compiled here
with MingW 5.1.3 and its win32api package.

Works for me just fine, in fact IIRC I read somewhere you shouldn't use
versions older than what is shipped with MinGW 5.1.3.

Is this some linker error about CoInitialize and stuff not found in
qfsfileengine_win.o? If so, this is because you have Visual Studio
libraries in your INCLUDE environment variables. configure.exe now takes
these variables into account unlike previous versions. The linking fails
because it does not understand Visual Studio libraries.

It is only a warning. Version 3.2 is what the binaries was built
against. We, in development, use 3.6 and it works fine.

Ok, thanks for the hint, it was indeed the case that I had Microsoft.NET
SDK in my INCLUDE and LIB environment variables. Didn't examine this,
one should always start from a clean environment before compiling...
Thanks for the hint,
