I am attempting to build Qt/Windows Version 4.3.3 using minGW GCC 3.4.5. The configure process completed without errors. The make process proceeded, apparently successfully, for a long time before stopping while trying to compile zlib/adler32.c complaining of "Too many arguments" for the cpp command.

Build machine - Windows XP Pro with Visual Studio 2005 and Borland Delphi 2006 installed.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

PROBLEM SOLVED!

I'll answer my own question...

It turned out that I had a slightly older version of gcc earlier in the path (it was in the Free Pascal directory), and it was the source of the problem.

Once the path was fixed to invoke the more recent gcc, everything compiled correctly.
