Qt SOAP install

Question

I've ran into problems installing the LGPL version of the Qt SOAP component:

http://qt.nokia.com/products/appdev/add-on-products/catalog/4/Utilities/qtsoap/

I've followed the instructions in INSTALL but can't seem to get it to build the DLL.

Unpacking and installation

1. Unpacking the archive (if you have not done so already).

   On Unix and Mac OS X (in a terminal window):

   cd your-install-dir gunzip some-package.tar.gz tar xvf some-package.tar

   This creates the subdirectory some-package containing the files.

   On Windows:

   Unpack the .zip archive by right-clicking it in explorer and choosing "Extract All...". If your version of Windows does not have zip support, you can use the infozip tools available from www.info-zip.org.

   If you are using the infozip tools (in a command prompt window): cd your-install-dir unzip some-package.zip

2. Configuring the package.

   The configure script is called "configure" on unix/mac and "configure.bat" on Windows. It should be run from a command line after cd'ing to the package directory.

   You can choose whether you want to use the component by including its source code directly into your project, or build the component as a dynamic shared library (DLL) that is loaded into the application at run-time. The latter may be preferable for technical or licensing (LGPL) reasons. If you want to build a DLL, run the configure script with the argument "-library". Also see the note about usage below.

   (Components that are Qt plugins, eg styles and image formats, are by default built as a plugin DLL.)

   The configure script will prompt you in some cases for further information. Answer these questions and carefully read the license text before accepting the license conditions. The package cannot be used if you do not accept the license conditions.

3. Building the component and examples (when required).

   If a DLL is to be built, or if you would like to build the examples, next give the commands

    qmake make [or nmake if your are using Microsoft Visual C++] 

   The example program(s) can be found in the directory called "examples" or "example".

   Components that are Qt plugins, eg styles and image formats, are ready to be used as soon as they are built, so the rest of this installation instruction can be skipped.

I get the following error when running nmake:

Any help on solving this would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

You're using qmake from a Qt built with MinGW. That means you should use the make from MinGW, not nmake .

If you want to compile some Qt software with MSVC then you must use a version of Qt built with MSVC.
