In this article, I will explain how to build Qt 4.8 in windows by VS 2005. I take Qt 4.8.6 as the building target.Step 0, Download the Qt 4.8.6, and uncompress the package. For me, the source code of Qt is in C:\Lib\Qt\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6.Step 1(skipable): modify the file,qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6\mkspecs\win32-msvc2005, line 23:toStep 2: Modify the file, qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6\src\gui\kernel\qclipboard_win.cpp, line 304:
(HWND hwnd){DWORD pid = 0;if (!GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, &pid) || !pid)return false;const HANDLE processHandle = OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION, FALSE, pid);if (!processHandle)return false;BOOL debugged = FALSE;CheckRemoteDebuggerPresent(processHandle, &debugged);CloseHandle(processHandle);return debugged != FALSE;}
To be
(HWND hwnd){;#elseDWORD pid = 0;if (!GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, &pid) || !pid)return false;const HANDLE processHandle = OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION, FALSE, pid);if (!processHandle)return false;BOOL debugged = FALSE;CheckRemoteDebuggerPresent(processHandle, &debugged);CloseHandle(processHandle);return debugged != FALSE;#endif }
Step 3: Modify the file, qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6\src\3rdparty\webkit\Source\WebCore\platform\DefaultLocalizationStrategy.cpp, line 237:
String DefaultLocalizationStrategy::contextMenuItemTagLookUpInDictionary(const String& selectedString){#if defined(BUILDING_ON_LEOPARD) || defined(BUILDING_ON_SNOW_LEOPARD)UNUSED_PARAM(selectedString);return WEB_UI_STRING("Look Up in Dictionary", "Look Up in Dictionary context menu item");#else#if USE(CF)RetainPtr<CFStringRef> selectedCFString(AdoptCF, truncatedStringForLookupMenuItem(selectedString).createCFString());return formatLocalizedString(WEB_UI_STRING("Look Up “%@”", "Look Up context menu item with selected word"), selectedCFString.get());("Look Up “<selection>”", "Look Up context menu item with selected word").replace("<selection>", truncatedStringForLookupMenuItem(selectedString));#endif#endif}
To be
String DefaultLocalizationStrategy::contextMenuItemTagLookUpInDictionary(const String& selectedString){#if defined(BUILDING_ON_LEOPARD) || defined(BUILDING_ON_SNOW_LEOPARD)UNUSED_PARAM(selectedString);return WEB_UI_STRING("Look Up in Dictionary", "Look Up in Dictionary context menu item");#else#if USE(CF)RetainPtr<CFStringRef> selectedCFString(AdoptCF, truncatedStringForLookupMenuItem(selectedString).createCFString());return formatLocalizedString(WEB_UI_STRING("Look Up “%@”", "Look Up context menu item with selected word"), selectedCFString.get());("Look Up “<selection>”", "Look Up context menu item with selected word").replace("<selection>", truncatedStringForLookupMenuItem(selectedString));("Look Up <selection>", "Look Up context menu item with selected word").replace("<selection>", truncatedStringForLookupMenuItem(selectedString));}
4. Create a folder, which will contain the built binaries, for me, it be C:\Lib\Qt\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6\built. Copy the qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6\mkspecs folder into this folder.5. open a VS2005 command line prompt to configuration Qt.
The configure arguments, for me , I use
configuration -platform win32-msvc2005 -shared -debug-and-release -nomake demos -nomake examples -fast -mp -opensource -stl -prefix C:\Lib\Qt\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6\built
Press enter key then y, then the nmake file would be generated.6. After the gernerating has been done, type "nmake" and press enter, wait the binaries has been generated.The building of code cast long time, which depends on how much money you put in your computer.7. type namke install, to organize the built folder. DO NOT copy "include "folder in the qt source root, that depends on source code heavily. But the target folder(in here it is built folder) is portable, you should use this in your working folder.
，幸福不是因为你拥有得多，而是由于你计较得少。
