Have you looked at this one?

So I've tried many different solutions, including:
http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/19389-Qt-4.5-clean-up-build-dir-on-Windows
http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/26245-Qt-4.6-api%5Cqscriptextensionplugin.h%2843%29-Error-Undefined-interface
and so forth, still no joy.

That is true.  Visual studio 2008 is 32 bit, but can still compile 64
bit.  The relevant portion of the error is
api\qscriptextensionplugin.h(43): Error: Undefined interface
Not the rest; that's just saying which program failed (in that case,
nmake, which is vs2008's make).

I did, version 4.7.1 from the website.

This is the equivalent of running in the vs2008 command prompt, which I'm doing.

I think that this might be a problem with the particular version of Qt
that I'm trying to use.  I'm going to go to the message boards to try
to find out if they have a solution for their more recent sdk versions
that supposedly fix this problem.

I hope it's not an issue that I'm running 64 bit windows 7.
