Hi Gary,

I was referring to the compile howto.  It doesn't look like Nokia is hosting the files anymore.  I found the historical versions on the Qt Archive Download page.

After further review of these instructions, it doesn't look like the old vs new methods will be incompatible at all.  The old method does not appear depend on the dead vcxproj files.  It generates it's own using qmake with the following command:

qmake -recursive -tp vc LibreCAD.pro

In the new method, the Qt VS Tools are taking care of this, and all the other "black magic" needed for the old method.  The new method will be available for any version of Visual Studio (2013 and later) where the Qt VS Tools are available.
