Qt4.4.0 with Visual C++ 6.0 on Windows

Qt support compiler on Windows other than Mingw from Qt 4.3.x, but user has to compile the source by own.

My experience about compiling Qt 4.4.0 with Visual C++ 6.0 on Windows is as below.

1. Get the Qt 4.4.0 source from Trolltech
2. extrat the source pack to c:\qt4-src
3. set environment variable
PATH=%PATH%;c:\qt4\bin
QTDIR=c:\qt4
QMAKESPEC=win32-msvc
4. cd c:\qt4-src
5. copy the qt4-src/mksepc/ to qt4/mkspec
6. configure.exe -prefix c:\qt4 (see more options by using "configure -help")
7. run 'nmake' to compiling the source, wait 1hr (CPU - C2D 1.83G).
8. finally, we got what we expect.

Developing with VS2005 C#

設計概念：

語言(C#)
基本上以前寫了不少C的程式，所以先進入 C++，再找到 C++ vs C# 異同處。

Framework (.NET 2.0)
這部分躲不了，應該就只能透過一系列的範例程式來掌握怎麼快速利用 .NET 2.0 framework 的物件了。

以上是轉換的概念～

Write once, run on Mac & Windows? (C#)

I try to get into Mac OS X programing world recently. The link as below is the new oppertunity of C#.
Have a look!

English Version: Creating Mac OS X applications with MS Visual Studio Express http://mac.sillydog.org/dev/visual_studio.php

Chinese Version: http://www.iim.nctu.edu.tw/~toki/CSharpOnOSX/c%23osx.html

Maybe in the near futhure, we will see the the possibilty of "Write once, run on Mac & WIndows".
Of course, you can say Java already done this, but C# ? This is my point.

NMAKE : fatal error U1065: invalid option '-'

I found this message while building CE image.
Why? because of the MAKEFLAG cause nmake error.
So, clear the MAKEFLAG to resolve this problem.
