Building Qt 4.5 with Visual C++ 2010

Question

Did somebody tried to build Qt 4.5 with Visual Studio 2010 (Beta 2)? Any hints on doing that successfuly?

Later edit I tried to run configure from a Visual Studio 2010 console. There is no makespecs support for 2010, so configure fails because of that.

For Qt 4.6.2 (or perhaps other 4.6 versions as well)...

To save you some time, here are the errors which need fixing in order to build webkit (this is to expand upon Ben's answer).

The errors appear in the following files (the two files are identical, and the errors need to be fixed in each):

• %QTDIR%\qt\src\3rdparty\webkit\javascriptcore\runtime\StructureTransitionTable.h
• %QTDIR%\qt\src\3rdparty\javascriptcore\JavaScriptCore\runtime\StructureTransitionTable.h

Here are the errors and how to fix them:

1. %QTDIR%\qt\src\3rdparty\webkit\javascriptcore\runtime\StructureTransitionTable.h(146) : table()->add(key, Transition(structure, 0));
   Change it to table()->add(key, Transition(structure, nullptr));
2. %QTDIR%\qt\src\3rdparty\webkit\javascriptcore\runtime\StructureTransitionTable.h(153) : table()->add(key, Transition(0, structure));
   Change it to table()->add(key, Transition(nullptr, structure));
3. Make the same two changes for %QTDIR%\qt\src\3rdparty\javascriptcore\JavaScriptCore\runtime\StructureTransitionTable.h (or copy your edited file over this one)

It worked for me to build just as if it was vs2008, but using the vs2010 tools:

1. Open vs2010 command prompt. cd into the top-level Qt directory.
2. configure.exe -platform win32-msvc2008 -no-webkit -no-phonon -no-phonon-backend -no-script -no-scripttools -no-multimedia -no-qt3support -fast
3. nmake
