compiling qt 4.7.3 on mingw with gcc 4.6 - c++

Question

I decided to start working on a new C++ project and wanted to use the latest version of the Qt framework, which is 4.7.3. I also decided to use gcc 4.6 found [here] (http://www.equation.com/servlet/equation.cmd?fa=fortran) . The compiler seems to compile simple c++ files using the new c++0x standard.
The problem I'm having, is that I can't seem to be able to compile Qt 4.7.3 on MinGW with gcc 4.6. I keep getting the following error:
cd src\corelib\ && mingw32-make -f Makefile

Removing the line also doesn't help, cause it'll fail at another file. Now I'm kinda stuck though, because I don't know why it can't find the file.
I removed the source code i had, and installed the windows version of qt 4.7.3, but i can't compile with a program with gcc 4.6, something about undefined methods (probably because the libs are compiled with gcc 4.4, or so i think). So i decided to rebuild qt it with gcc 4.6. Now I get the following errors:

Answer 1

Does qabstractanimation have the QOBJECT macro in the declaration? Moc.exe may not be generating the file moc_qabstractanimation.cpp because it doesn't see the macro.
