Re: [Mingw-cross-env-list] Qt built with mingw does not define Q_WS_WIN

I don't dispute this interpretation either. Earlier I said I didn't know 
because it was their first time the subject had come up and I hadn't 
looked into it.

I'm curious about why Q_WS_WIN is defined for Volker, but not for you. 
Have you tried the test program?

Just to be sure, are you invoking qmake as "i686-pc-mingw32-qmake" with 
<ming-cross-env>/usr/bin in your PATH?

I hadn't noticed that before.  Would you mind checking whether changing 
QMAKE_DEL_FILE in usr/i686-pc-mingw32/mkspecs/default/qmake.conf fixes this?

From what I think I understand, Phonon only works with shared Qt. The 
default in mingw-cross-env is static, but that's easy enough to change 
in src/qt.mk. There are some notes in there about building Qt in shared 
form. Then you can enable phonon, as well as webkit.

Also, building the ds9 backend for Phonon requires headers Nokia 
includes in its MinGW distribution but are not in the standard MInGW 
packages  and also not (yet) in mingw-cross-env. It's being worked on 
for mingw-cross-env. I'd be happy to send you my patches for this, 
assembled from the Nokia changes, if you would like to try them.
