Re: [Mingw-w64-public] Compiling Qt 4.8.1

[MARTIN P. <hic...@gm...>]

The last toolchain i have downloaded is the one from TDM's. i'm trying to compile Qt 4.8.1 with it, and it fails where SeZero's build was successfull.
The error message i get is when compiling QMake (Which takes place in the ./configure part):

Creating qmake. Please wait...

Isn't that related to the encoding selected for the Win32 API? Wouldn't that mean that the wrong version of the GetComputerName function is being resolved (GetComputerNameA instead of GetComputerNameW)? As stated on the MinGW-w64 trac wiki, TDM seems to be providing the easiest to use toolchains, but are they ready to be used once installed? After installing it, i modified the MSYS fstab so /mingw points to the TDM's one, then i cranked up and tried to compile Qt again... Maybe there is some extra steps with this toolchain version?

Thanks,
