Can't build Qt5 (qtbase) on Windows XP (win32-msvc2005)

Can't build Qt5 (qtbase) on Windows XP (win32-msvc2005)

  In a cmd.exe prompt, using msysgit, I cloned git://gitorious.org/qt/qtbase.git.
  Set QTDIR to that qtbase directory, added %QTDIR%\bin to PATH.
  Made sure sh.exe is not in the PATH. Set
  The problem:

  configure -developer-build -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests
  fails with a link error for configure.exe, due to duplicated symbols:
  @
  Please wait while bootstrapping configure ...

  and a lot more of the same.

  Sample compilation line, to see the flags:

  @
  (funny that -opensource sets -DCOMMERCIAL_VERSION, but that's unrelated...)
  Strange, too that my QMAKESPEC being set to win32-msvc2005 leads to win32-msvc2008 in the compilation line.

  I had this problem too. It looks like there is no way around it except upgrading Visual Stduio. The problem is described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2078087/local-classes-inside-inline-non-member-function-produces-lnk2005-with-msvc2005

  The code that triggers the problem is in qlist.h:

  @template <typename T>
  Q_OUTOFLINE_TEMPLATE QList<T>::QList(const QList<T> &l)
  : d(l.d)
  {
  if (!d->ref.ref()) {
  p.detach(d->alloc);

      struct Cleanup
      {
          Cleanup(QListData::Data *d) : d_(d) {}
          ~Cleanup() { if (d_) free(d_); }
  
          QListData::Data *d_;
      } tryCatch(d);
  
      node_copy(reinterpret_cast<Node *>(p.begin()),
              reinterpret_cast<Node *>(p.end()),
              reinterpret_cast<Node *>(l.p.begin()));
      tryCatch.d_ = 0;
  }
  

  }
