Well, I just installed Visual Studio 2008, and I'm getting compile errors :(

It seems that every single smoke module generates the following error:

.\smokedata.cpp(49) : error C2466: cannot allocate an array of constant size
0

And the offending lines in smokedata.cpp are

static Smoke::Method methods[] = {
};

which is indeed an empty array.

I'm using VS 2008 Pro, kdebindings rev 1064293, and Qt 4.6.2 (VS 2008
version), which if should be more-or-less identical to your build platform.

Perhaps there is a problem in the way I'm hacking my CMakeList.txt to make
this build? I have attached the patch I'm using so you can inspect it if you
like.

Thanks.
