Apologies for posting this here guys but I am struggling to find the definitive answer to this and a Creator guru may know the answer.
I am trying to develop a COM server using the latest Qt/Qt Creator SDK and the MinGW toolchain. My first issue was that the code fails to build because I didn't have a copy of the MS MIDL compiler. I installed the latest MS Windows SDK and now MIDL runs but complains because it can't find cl.exe (the MS compiler). So I downloaded Visual Studio Express and added cl.exe to the PATH and now the MIDL step works but I get an 'Failed to register application' error (I am building the ActiveQt comapp sample). So ... can I build ActiveQt apps using MinGW or will I have to use the MS toolchain (and the appropriate MSVC 2008 build of Qt)? I develop on different machines and would like to avoid MSVC if possible but I think I'm out of luck... I wondered if it is possible to have MIDL use gcc instead? If this is possible then I'm not sure how I'd edit my .pro file to change the MIDL steps.
