[Ctk-developers] getting things to work in windows

[Sascha Zelzer]

What is your development environment?

If you are using Visual Studio 2008 and want to create 32 bit binaries, 
there is no reason to compile Qt yourself. Use the pre-build binaries 
for Nokia: http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/windows-cpp-vs2008 (*NOT* the 
SDK, this one is MinGW based) and set the QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE variable 
in CMake to e.g. C:\Qt\4.7.1\bin\qmake.exe.
