Hi All,<div><br></div><div>Thanks Jurgen & Sjur; that helped a bit.</div><div><br></div><div>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).<div>
<br></div><div>Anyhow, QGIS.exe now still complains about missing DLLs; currently: SSLEAY32.dll</div><div><br></div><div>Does anyone know what other dependencies are involved?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance for your reply,</div>

<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">I haven't actually built QGIS myself, but in general you
need to make all necessary dlls available to your .exe file, also for debugging.
This means in the same folder, or in a folder that's included in your path.
Beware that these may include both dlls that you compile as a part of the QGIS
solution, and pre-compiled dlls that you have downloaded in binary
form.</font></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">It is quite common that multi-project solutions in Visual
Studio put their binaries in project-specific folders, typically /Debug and
/Release at the same level as each .vcproj file resides. This leaves it to
you to (manually or by setting some poist-build events) copy all dlls and .exes
into the right (common) place.</font></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">VS will always ask for executable when you try to debug a
dll; naturally since a dll needs to be run by an application (.exe file).
qgis.exe will be the natural choice here, be sure to pick the right of
the debug or release version.</font></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">I tend to create a /bin catalogue (and a /debbin, for debug
versions) at the solution directory level (where the .sln file is) , and either
direct or copy the linker output (.dlls and .exes) here.</font></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span> </div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">BTW, I also copy all .lib files to a common /lib folder
(/deblib), and the .h files to a common /include folder, and make sure that
either VS or all the projects look in these folders for libraries and include
files. This seems to be OK in your case, if everyting builds
nicely.</font></span></div>

MSVC<br></font><br></div><div><div></div><div class="h5">
<div></div>Dear list,
<div><br></div>
<div>It has been quite a struggle to get QGIS to compile on my PC using MS
Visual Studio 8 (2005). At the moment, it seems like all binaries compile
correctly, but all in separate folders... Executing QGIS.exe (
(...)\qgis-1.3.0\build\src\app\debug\qgis.exe) results in a message of missing
dlls.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>How am I supposed to Run / Debug QGIS from MSVC? Pressing the "play"
button, MSVC asks for which executable file to be used for the debug
session.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Any help is appreciated. I guess I need some post-linking process that
copies newly built QGIS files? And some more static Qt binaries.</div>
<div><br></div>
