Compiling Qt 4.8.x for Visual Studio 2012

by

Qt 4.8.3 with Visual Studio 2012 x64 (should also work with 4.8.2)

  1. Install Strawberry Perl

  2. Download Qt 4.8.3 source code from http://qt-project.org/downloads

  3. Go to mkspecs\win32-msvc2010. Open qmake.conf and change:

    QMAKE_COMPILER_DEFINES  += _MSC_VER=1600 WIN32

    to:

    QMAKE_COMPILER_DEFINES  += _MSC_VER=1700 WIN32

  4. Replace qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.3-x64\src\3rdparty\webkit\Source\JavaScriptCore\wtf\HashSet.h by this HashSet.h.

  5. Start “VS2012 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt”

  6. Switch to Qt 4.8.3 source directory (the directory that contains configure.exe)

  7. Run:

    configure -mp -opensource -nomake demos -nomake examples -platform win32-msvc2010

  8. Followed by:

    nmake

I programmed a tool called BlueGo which automatically downloads Qt 4.8.3 and builds it with VS2012 x64: http://bluego.vertexwahn.de (also works with VS2010 x64) (it just does what I described above automatically)
