Can you install Qt-4.6.0-wince successfully?

Question

I'm trying to install Qt-4.6.0-wince on XP and Vista. I read the instructions and follow it to install.

However, I can't install it successfully due to some fatal errors on all of the two machines. I think the problem is that qconfig.[h cpp] files are not created automatically during the configuration.

I already report about this problem, so you can see the more information here. However, it is still remained as unresolved.

Anybody here who has been installed it successfully?

Answer 1

Qt-4.6.0-wince, as is implied in the name and said explictly on the page you linked, is for Windows CE, NOT for Windows XP and Vista!!!

Nokia have released a nice software development kit for Qt which you can download here. It is very impressive and powerful!

Answer 2

@KernelJ I believe the original poster is using the correct install distro - the final product will be cross compiled from Win32 to WinCE; as is pointed out in the Qt for Windows CE Requirements.

@Brian, Unfortunately, I can't answer your original question - I have had unrelated trouble with the WinCE distribution myself and am working the issues now. However, I can provide some help: I was able to get the Qt Everywhere 4.6 to cross compile on my Win32 (XP) host for WinCE. I used the commercial version, but here is a link to the Open Source Qt Everywhere 4.6 package. As is pointed out in the nokia instructions, make sure to use the Visual Studio command prompt, get your environment variables ironed out, create a custom mkspec (if you have to), and keep a close eye during the configuration for any warnings.

Good luck.

I got things running as compilable (and running on emulator) with VS 2008, so your milage may vary:

• Make sure the PATH variable points to \bin
• Open a command prompt (using the Visual Studio Command Prompt)
• Run the vcvars32.bat file (in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9\VC\bin) folder
• Cd into the qt folder
• Run this: configure -no-sql-sqlite -no-qt3support -platform win32-msvc2008 –xplatform wincewm50pocket-msvc2008 -no-phonon -no-phonon-backend -no-webkit (building for WINCE 5.0, and all the '-no-...' makes it build faster, removing stuff we don’t want)
• The setccepaths script provided sometimes doesn’t work. I used checksdk.exe –script temp_script.bat (It creates a script, the default is for Pocket PC SDK 5)
• Run that script you just created (the temp_script.bat thing. It sets up environment variables.
• Run nmake

*whew*

and good luck.
