Problems when building/installing Qt5.1.0x64 under Win7x64 VS2010SP1 for different source and installation folders

Problems when building/installing Qt5.1.0x64 under Win7x64 VS2010SP1 for different source and installation folders
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all, I'd like to stress, that the source and installation folders are different:

e:\MyProjects\Libs\Qt\src is the source folder,
e:\MyProjects\Libs\Qt\vs2010-x64 is the installation folder (and %QTDIR%).

In short: I experienced building Qt5.1.0 using both jom and nmake. With jom I got working distributive but with some manual fixes and rerunning in the middle of the process, nmake didn't build qttools. Both ways didn't build examples.

====================================================================
A. When building with jom:

1. "jom.exe docs" looks for qdoc.exe in the wrong path (in the yet empty installation folder), so I copied it with its dependancies.

2. Although i was building for Win, the script still wanted to install dbus and embedded, but failed to do it, so I had to comment (rem) those strings in the examples\Makefile script and rerun the installation process:

for sub-dbus-install_subtargets:
rem cd dbus\ && ( if not exist Makefile $(QMAKE) e:\MyProjects\Libs\Qt\src\qtbase\examples\dbus\dbus.pro -o Makefile ) && $(MAKE) -f Makefile install

for sub-embedded-install_subtargets:
rem cd embedded\ && ( if not exist Makefile $(QMAKE) e:\MyProjects\Libs\Qt\src\qtbase\examples\embedded\embedded.pro -o Makefile ) && $(MAKE) -f Makefile install

3. After nmake %QTDIR% is changed to e:\MyProjects\Libs\Qt\src\qtbase, as far as I know, it wasn't so in the earlier versions.

4. When installing docs *.qch don't get registered at assistant, so I had to do it manually (it was so in the earlier Qt versions).

5. Wrong paths appeared to be in some e:\MyProjects\Libs\Qt\vs2010-x64\lib*.prl files (paths lead to e:\MyProjects\Libs\Qt\src instead of e:\MyProjects\Libs\Qt\vs2010-x64 folder). I found it when I tried to manually build examples, qmake wrote those wrong paths in Makefiles.

6. So, examples don't get built and installed.

7. I had problems when building examples manually (at the installed examples folder: qmake && nmake release): some files were not copied to the installation folder, so i had to copy them manually from src:

examples\activeqt\menus\fileopen.xpm
examples\activeqt\menus\filesave.xpm
examples\declarative\cppextensions\plugins\plugin.json
examples\declarative\tutorials\extending\chapter6-plugins\chartsplugin.json
examples\designer\containerextension\multipagewidget.json
examples\designer\customwidgetplugin\analogclock.json
examples\designer\taskmenuextension\tictactoe.json
examples\designer\worldtimeclockplugin\worldtimeclock.json
examples\webkitqml\shared\shared.qrc

all the files of the following projects are not copied at the installation:
script\calculator\
script\qstetrix\
examples\quick\scenegraph\shared\

8. Finally, I got the error in examples\qtestlib\Makefile and stopped trying:
NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'release'

====================================================================
B. When building using qmake/nmake:

1. Examples are not build, even when the key -make examples is specified.

2. After nmake %QTDIR% is also changed to e:\MyProjects\Libs\Qt\src\qtbase.

3. nmake doesn't make qt tools like qhelpgenerator.exe etc, so I stopped trying at this stage.

====================================================================
C. Finally, my installation steps:

Install:

• Win SDK 7.1
• VS2010 & SP1 & MSDN
• Python 2.7 (3.3 is invalid!)
• Ruby
• Perl
• doxygen
• ICU
• PThreads
• OpenSSL
