Unable to compile Qt with Microsoft compiler

Question

I want to build Qt (4.7.3) with the VS2010 compiler, but I encountered a problem while setting up.

Im using the command VS-command-shell. My configure command is as follows:

configure.exe -platform win32-msvc2010 -no-webkit -no-phonon -no-phonon-backend -no-script -no-scripttools -no-multimedia -no-qt3support 

This happens a second after configure is started. What is going wrong?

Answer 1

This is so stupid that I have to answer it myself.

The reason is that I did not have the C ++ compiler installed.

I always thought I knew, but used VS2010 to develop C # so far.

Do not reduce b / c speed. I spent time for a while! When was the last time such stupidity happened to you during coding?

Answer 2

Microsoft Visual Studio by default does not put the #include path of the search path and / or library path into the global environment during installation, but leaves this either for the IDE to configure or for the user to explicitly do this when using command line compilers.

For the latter purpose, Microsoft provides a batch file, see Configuring the path and environment variables for assembly at the command line in the Visual Studio documentation.

You need to run the VCVARS32.BAT script mentioned there before configure.exe .
