Deploying qt-3.3 on WinXP with nmake in VS2008

Message 1 in thread

Hi,

I'm trying to deploy a QT 3.3.8 application on Windows. It works fine on 
   Win2k but not on Windows XP. The problem seems to be that I need to 
embed the manifest file in the executable.

I can see that in QT 4.2 you can add

CONFIG += embed_manifest_exe

to the project file. I tried this in my 3.3 project file but it didn't work.

Does anyone know of a decent way around this? I'm using qmake and nmake 
from the command line, the nmake is from Visual Studio 2008.

Thanks,

When we used Qt3 with vc2005 we had something like this in the qmakefile

    MSVCVER=$$(QMAKESPEC)
    contains( MSVCVER,win32-msvc2005 ) {
        QMAKE_POST_LINK = mt.exe /manifest prog.exe.manifest 
/outputresource:prog.exe
    }


where prog.exe is the name of your executable.

Thanks, with a couple of tweaks that did the trick.
