Hi All, Thanks Jurgen & Sjur; that helped a bit.
I found the INSTALL.vcproj; it indeed copies the files to my Program Files folder (after I granted myself access; note the Vista/Windows 7 superuser system) by some cmake rules. I put the Qt binary folder in my path. Then still I need to copy some fies by hand; think of gdal, geos, proj, libpq.dll and some from the GnuWin32 dependencies (as instructed by the PDF manual dealing with building / compiling QGIS from source). Anyhow, QGIS.exe now still complains about missing DLLs; currently: SSLEAY32.dll Does anyone know what other dependencies are involved?
