[cygwin] problems compiling qt4

Message 1 in thread

Hello list,

I've tried to compile recent QT open source on cygwin running on winXP and
didnt succeed;

I used

qt-x11-opensource-src-4.3.0 from trolltech's site at first - there is
qt_windows.h header file missing in global src folder - so afterwards also
qt-all-opensource-src-4.3.0

but ./configure fails with:

/cygdrive/d/install/qt/qt-all-opensource-src-4.3.0/qt-
all-opensource-src-4.3.0/src/corelib/global/qglobal.cpp:1665: error:
expected init-declarator before "winVersion"
/cygdrive/d/install/qt/qt-all-opensource-src-4.3.0/qt-
all-opensource-src-4.3.0/src/corelib/global/qglobal.cpp:1665: error:
expected `,' or `;' before "winVersion"
/cygdrive/d/install/qt/qt-all-opensource-src-4.3.0/qt-
all-opensource-src-4.3.0/src/corelib/global/qglobal.cpp:1761: error:
expected init-declarator before "QSysInfo"
/cygdrive/d/install/qt/qt-all-opensource-src-4.3.0/qt-
all-opensource-src-4.3.0/src/corelib/global/qglobal.cpp:1761: error:
expected `,' or `;' before "QSysInfo"
make: *** [qglobal.o] Error 1


this seem to me like i'm using wrong version of some tools, but I have
latest cygwin development packages with g++ v 3.4.4, which should be
supported according to trolltech's requirements mentioned on their page.

Can anybody please help me with some advice/pointer ?
Alse please correct me if I'm directing this to wrong mailing list

thanks a lot

As far as i know Qt doesn't support cygwin. Use cmd with mingw instead.

Hi,
well I just wonder because this seem to me like compilation error; the
critical code is in #ifdef section for CYGWIN, WIN32, so it seem to me it is
just untested properly.
The thing is that I do not want to use their windows port because I need to
compile a QT application on cygwin.

Message 4 in thread

Then compile Qt without cygwin, and use it only when u need to  
compile your second app. And i just wonder which app needs cygwin to  
be compiled on windows?

Uhm, a Qt application certainly doesn't need cygwin, unless its

a) not meant to work under windows
b) a qt3 application which won't work with Qt4 anyway

Message 6 in thread

Hi guys,
ok, so this is exactly what I intend to do:
I have an native linux application (it is lmms.sourceforge.net; but it does
not matter) which utilizes qt4 toolkit.
So in order to make it run on w$ndows I thought the best way would be to try
crosscompile it on cygwin (since it is not written to be compilable
somewhere else as on linux and they dont have the intention to).
As mentioned this app needs qt4 toolkit, which is not present in recent
cygwin (there is only qt3)
While configuring qt4 under cygwin I came to forementioned error.
What would you recommend to be the best approach now ?
Is it possilbe to use qt4 toolkit's native windows port from cygwin (linux,
in fact) and run it this way ? If so, how ? I dont seem to see any other
approach now..

Thanks a lot

Hello Susan,
thanks for reply.
Do you also recall whether you were able to compile qt as multithreaded ?
I dont also see any option in qt4'c configure to turn this on; I dont know
whether this is possible to do whatsoever on cygwin *grin*

You are writing about compiling Qt4 with cygwin. BUT software you  
want to compile requires Qt3.Why do you compile Qt4 then?

No I don't remember & it was qt3 so... 

But as I said, you might want to try the Intel compiler 
(http://www.intel.com/cd/software/products/asmo-na/eng/compilers/284132.htm) 
- don't know if you need to use a free compiler or not.  The Intel 
compiler isn't free but you can try it using the evaluation.

HTH & good luck,
Susan

Forget it. Unless you port the application to native windows I don't
think its going to work.

Also the webpage says that it needs Qt3, not qt4.

Hello,
the info on page seem to be little bit outdated or so according to what was
I told by the the guy from lmms;
I really hoped that it would be possible since I succesfully crosscompiled
other audio apps on cygwin, without qt toolkit though, and since this was
the only compilation error I got (well, so far)
thanks anyway )

Is there a reason that you use cygwin and don't compile
qt-win-opensource natively using mingw?
