Can't build Qt5 (qtbase) on Windows XP (win32-msvc2005)

Can't build Qt5 (qtbase) on Windows XP (win32-msvc2005)

In a cmd.exe prompt, using msysgit, I cloned git://gitorious.org/qt/qtbase.git. Set QTDIR to that qtbase directory, added %QTDIR%\bin to PATH. Made sure sh.exe is not in the PATH. Set The problem:

configure -developer-build -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests fails with a link error for configure.exe, due to duplicated symbols: @ Please wait while bootstrapping configure ...

Strange, too that my QMAKESPEC being set to win32-msvc2005 leads to win32-msvc2008 in the compilation line.

I had this problem too. It looks like there is no way around it except upgrading Visual Stduio. The problem is described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2078087/local-classes-inside-inline-non-member-function-produces-lnk2005-with-msvc2005

The code that triggers the problem is in qlist.h:

@template <typename T> Q_OUTOFLINE_TEMPLATE QList<T>::QList(const QList<T> &l) : d(l.d) { if (!d->ref.ref()) { p.detach(d->alloc);

    struct Cleanup
    {
        Cleanup(QListData::Data *d) : d_(d) {}
        ~Cleanup() { if (d_) free(d_); }

        QListData::Data *d_;
    } tryCatch(d);

    node_copy(reinterpret_cast<Node *>(p.begin()),
            reinterpret_cast<Node *>(p.end()),
            reinterpret_cast<Node *>(l.p.begin()));
    tryCatch.d_ = 0;
}

} @
