Finally, I'm done. It's a rather complicated task and tricky to find
out. For those who are interested or know better, please see my attached
how-to. It lists all requirements, where you get them and what to do
with all that.

How to build Merkaartor from Source, with Qt 4.4, MinGW and Windows
===================================================================
The entire procedure will take about 1 to 2 hours, depending on your CPU speed,
internet link and
wizardry skills.
Download:
Qt for Open Source C++ development on Windows - with the MinGW compiler
included (installer)
http://trolltech.com/downloads/opensource/appdev/windows-cpp
Tested with version 4.4.3
MSYS Base System (installer)
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=24963
Tested with version 1.0.10
zlib (source)
http://www.zlib.net/
Tested with version 1.2.3
libexpat (source)
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10127&package_id=10780
Tested with version 2.0.1
exiv2 library (source)
http://www.exiv2.org/download.html
Tested with version 0.18
libxslt (binary DLL)
http://www.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml/
File: libxslt-1.1.24.win32.zip
File: libxml2-2.7.2.win32.zip
Merkaartor (source)
http://www.merkaartor.org/Download/
Tested with version 0.12 and svn-20090102
optionally: SVN command-line client (to download latest Merkaartor source)
(source unknown, requires svn.exe and a bunch of DLLs)
Install:
Qt
Target directory for MinGW: C:\MinGW
MSYS
Target directory: C:\MSYS (I suggest you leave out the version number)
Post installation configuration:
MinGW directory: c:/mingw
TODO: what else?
In this how-to, the development root directory is Z:\dev. Its MSYS equivalent
is /z/dev. Whereever
you see them here, change them to your local paths.
Unpack downloaded archives:
zlib -> z:\dev\zlib
libexpat -> z:\dev\expat
exiv2 -> z:\dev\exiv2
libxml2 -> z:\dev\libxml2
libxslt -> z:\dev\libxslt
Merkaartor -> z:\dev\merkaartor
SVN binaries -> z:\dev\svn (no subdirectory, put svn.exe right in here)
All lines beginning with a dollar sign ($) are meant to be typed into the MSYS
shell (without the
$ sign).
Build zlib:
$ cd /z/dev
$ cd zlib
$ ./configure
$ make
$ mkdir include lib
$ cp z{lib,conf}.h include
$ cp libz.a lib
$ cd ..
Build libexpat:
$ cd expat
$ ./configure
$ make
$ mkdir include
$ cp lib/expat{,_external}.h include
$ cp .libs/libexpat.a lib/libexpat.a
$ cd ..
Build exiv2:
$ cd exiv2
$ ./configure --with-zlib=/z/dev/zlib --with-expat=/z/dev/expat
--disable-shared
(This takes ~4 minutes)
$ make
(This takes ~25 minutes)
$ mkdir include lib
$ cp src/{exiv2,utils,types,version}.hpp include
$ cp src/exv_conf.h include
$ cp src/.libs/libexiv2.a lib
$ cd ..
Copy exiv2 source into Merkaartor directory
$ rm -r merkaartor/exiv2
$ mkdir merkaartor/exiv2
$ cp exiv2/src/*.{c,cpp,h,hpp} merkaartor/exiv2
All lines beginning with a greater-than sign (>) are meant to be typed at the
Qt command prompt
(without the > sign).
Optionally download the latest SVN source of Merkaartor: (This will download
all source files into
the merkaartor subdirectory. You better rename it if you already have one.)
> cd /d z:\dev
> svn\svn co http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/editors/merkaartor/
Be sure you have copied the exiv2 source files into the merkaartor directory
(see above).
Build Merkaartor:
> cd /d z:\dev
> cd merkaartor
To build a release version, use the following command:
> qmake NODEBUG=1
To build a debug version, use the following command instead: (You should
think twice about
building a debug version. You really cannot imagine how slow it will be!)
> qmake
Now edit files Makefile.Debug respectively Makefile.Release:
Append to line DEFINES=...: -D__INTERLOCKED_DECLARED
Append to line LIBS=...: -LZ:/dev/exiv2/lib -LZ:/dev/expat/lib -lexpat
> make
(This takes ~18 minutes)
Copy dependency files:
If you need a translation, use the following command with your favourite
language:
> lrelease merkaartor_de.ts
Now copy all translations, DLLs and the binary into a new directory:
> mkdir output
> copy binaries\...\bin\merkaartor.exe output
(You'll need to find the correct path for "...".)
> copy *.qm output
> copy ..\libxslt\bin\libexslt.dll output
> copy ..\libxslt\bin\libxslt.dll output
> copy ..\libxml2\bin\libxml2.dll output
> copy %QTDIR%\bin\mingwm10.dll output
> mkdir output\imageformats
> copy %QTDIR%\plugins\imageformats\qico4.dll output\imageformats
> copy %QTDIR%\plugins\imageformats\qtiff4.dll output\imageformats\qtif4.dll
> copy %QTDIR%\plugins\imageformats\qsvg4.dll output\imageformats
> copy %QTDIR%\plugins\imageformats\qgif4.dll output\imageformats
> copy %QTDIR%\plugins\imageformats\qjpeg4.dll output\imageformats
If you've found your executable in a directory like "release", use these
files:
> copy %QTDIR%\bin\QtWebKit4.dll output
> copy %QTDIR%\bin\QtSvg4.dll output
> copy %QTDIR%\bin\QtGui4.dll output
> copy %QTDIR%\bin\QtNetwork4.dll output
> copy %QTDIR%\bin\QtXml4.dll output
> copy %QTDIR%\bin\QtCore4.dll output
If you've found your executable in a directory like "debug", use these
files:
> copy %QTDIR%\bin\QtWebKitd4.dll output
> copy %QTDIR%\bin\QtSvgd4.dll output
> copy %QTDIR%\bin\QtGuid4.dll output
> copy %QTDIR%\bin\QtNetworkd4.dll output
> copy %QTDIR%\bin\QtXmld4.dll output
> copy %QTDIR%\bin\QtCored4.dll output
You can now execute Merkaartor.exe in the directory output.
