I have downloaded the open source version of Qt 4.7.3, run configure.exe to configure it, how do I then build it (to have a qmake.exe I can use) on windows?

possible duplicate of Qt - 4.7.3 - How to make static build I understand it's not a complete duplicate, but my answer to that question is as clear as it can get. Just forget the -static part. –  rubenvb Jun 27 '11 at 19:09

if you do configure -platform win32-msvc2010 (or2008 etc) it will generate a vs2010 project, just open the .sln and built it.

configure.exe should have caused qmake.exe to build. You'll want to add its location to your path. (It's in the bin directory of your Qt installation).

Thanks, this is an important step. –  James Jul 1 '11 at 15:46
