[En-Nut-Discussion] Problems with wxWidgets and Qt based Configurators on Windows

[Harald Kipp]

Hi all,

recently Michael Fischer had been able to demonstrate source code 
debugging with the latest tools: GCC 4.5.2, Eclipse 3.6.2 with CDT 7.0.2 
and Nut/OS 4.9.10.

I intend to create a screencast using Nut/OS 4.8.9-pre, but failed at 
the Nut/OS configuration GUI, again. On Windows 7 the scrollbars of the 
tree window (wxWidget version) are no longer working. A similar problem 
existed on Mac OS X ever since.

I decided to switch to the Qt-based version, which is not yet available 
for Nut/OS 4.8 stable. It works on my developer machine (Windows 7 
Ultimate 64-bit), but for the screencast I'm using a clean Windows 7 
Ultimate 32-bit running as a Virtualbox guest.

This time the Nut/OS build fails. The three make calls (clean, all and 
install) appear in the message window too fast and the toolbox button 
remains disabled. All other functions seem to work, more or less well.

Beside qnutconf.exe I transfered msvcp100.dll, msvcr100.dll, QtCore4.dll 
and QtGui4.dll to the virgin machine. The executable was build using 
MS-VisualC 2010, running qmake and nmake -f Makefile.Release. I also 
tried the Debug build.

Anything else that needs to be installed? Anyone experienced a similar 
problem?

Of course I want to avoid, installing Qt or MSC on that machine, because 
this may silently fix the problem. Remember, that it is running fine my 
developer machine. But how to debug without any tools? :-(

Thanks,

Harald

P.S.: As soon as this problem is solved, I will create a new 
4.8-release, which fixes compile problems with GCC 4.5.2 for ARM.
