The title says it all. With Qt 4.7.x and Visual C++ 2008 one used to
be able to generate a Visual Studio project file by running 'qmake
-spec win32-msvc2008' from the Qt command window.

Now with Qt 4.8.1 and Visual C++ 2010, running 'qmake -spec
win32-msvc2010' only generates Makefile, Makefile.debug, and
Makefile.release, but no VS project file. (The Makefile is otherwise
usable with nmake just fine.)

What am I missing?

You need to add: -tp vc

Hi Sherif,

Generated makefiles for nmake or generated vcproj for visual studio,
depending on which TEMPLATE you used in your .pro file.

app / lib ==> makefiles
vcapp / vclib ==> .vcproj

As Thiago said, the convenient way to do this is add "-tp vc" to
qmake's command line, if you TEMPLATE is app or lib.
