Qt configuration error

[4Gb4jE8b]

I try to go to the qt command prompt and run

configure -platform win32-msvc2010 and it ends up with "Makefile(168) : Fatal error U1088: invalid separator '::' on inference rule Cleaning qmake failed, return code 2."

What should i do? I've been following these directions to the letter http://www.holoborodko.com/pavel/2011/02/01/how-to-compile-qt-4-7-with-visual-studio-2010/

I believe i've traced it back to nmake, my version being 1.5, but according to http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.tds.freetds/12317 you need 1.62 or higher to use ::

but there is no download for 1.62 as it came with MSVS 5.0, which i don't have.

forget it, i had nmake in my sys32 folder, and it screwed things up. deleted it, problem solve
