Question

I tried to compilation Qt 4.7.3 under Windows x64 with VS 2008.

Step by step:

1. Start Start Menu\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008\Visual Studio Remote Tools\Visual Studio 2008 x64 Win64 Command Prompt
2. Go to C:\Qt\4.7.3\
3. Type configure
4. Type nmake.

But I have compilation error:

qnetworkdiskcache.cpp

I used nmake /I for compilation Qt. I compiled modules, what was needed me successful.

Answer 1

Not all modules of Qt are easily build-able in VS. The following configure parameters have worked for people in the past:

configure.exe -platform win32-msvc2008 -no-webkit -no-phonon -no-phonon-backend -no-script -no-scripttools -no-multimedia -no-qt3support -fast
