There used to be a bug in an older QT version that tripped up some older
compilers. It was easy to fix, but it shouldn't hit you with VS.Net.
3.1.0 beta sounds pretty old, so it might just be broken.

Do you have to use QT? Just use another, free GUI toolkit. It's pretty
easy to integrate OpenSG into whatever GUI system you have as long as it
supports OpenGL.

QT Win is not Open Source but a commercial product, so we can't do that.
They are planning to release an Open Source version of QT 4, so once
that happens we might be able to include QT.

We have most of the prerequisites in CVS (dist/win/supportlibs.zip).
They are also part of all the binary distributions. The reason you had
to change some lib names is that we're not using the cygwin versions of
the libs but the native Windows versions.=20

Hope it helps
