Did you build that from scratch using Visual Studio 2005 and not any
other compiler or version?

Are you trying to modify it for some reason? I also do not see the
need to rebuild it.

You should not mix cygwin building and visual studio building. What
are you doing here?

This usually means you do not have the correct run times installed.
Did you download the Visual Studio 2008 binary release. That will not
work with Visual Studio 2005. You need to build Qt for your compiler.
