Indeed now that there is only one (in KDE) "qmake -t vcapp" works

Yes I did, but it didn't work.

OK that's what I did: KDE in c:\programmes\ and KDEDIRS and path 
adjusted (this last still with the full path to KDE and not %KDEDIRS%.

"C:\programmes" is not the official name for Windows (I am under XP), it 
is still "C:\Program Files"; "C:\Programmes" is a folder I use to avoid 
spreading many folders under "C:\" (I did that already before for 
miktex: ghostScript, gnuplot,... were grouped in c:\texplus)
(note even under Vista, where the name which appears is Programmes for 
your personal account but everything is still in Program Files)

This I tried before changing "Program Files" to "Progra~1"

This perhaps later!

In msvc I could generate but there were errors (see the attached file); 
but before this one msvc was complaining that he didn't find the 
poppler-qt4.h file (and the others) I copied the files to texworks\src 
and the compilation went on to the problem listed in the BuildLog.htm file.

We are moving, I hope in the right direction.
