Hello Surya,

this really is a Qt issue. Using wchar_t as a native type you have to
recompile Qt using the same compiler switch. There even is a bug in the
tracker: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-9617

In general, you will have to be very careful and do not mix wchar_t
compiler settings in your projects as they will become incompatible.

Regards,
