'make' is not recognized as an internal or external command

[jivanr]

Dear all,
I was installed Qt4.3.0 version and minGW.
Here I am trying to compile one simple Qt program but I am getting errors like as follows:


C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\hello>C:\QT\4.3.0\bin\qmake -pro
ject

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\hello>C:\QT\4.3.0\bin\qmake hello.pro

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\hello>C:\QT\4.3.0\bin\qmake

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\hello>make

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\hello>make
'make' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\hello>C:\QT\4.3.0\bin\make

The executable installed with MinGW is "mingw32-make" but with QT ther'is a batch file "make.bat" that calls "mingw32-make".

If you insert the "%QTDIR%/bin" path in your PATH environmental variable you can call mingw32-make simply typing the "make" command on promt.

You also can use the "Qt 4.x.x Command Prompt" link in Qt folder that define the %PATH% variable


g++ -enable-stdcall-fixup -Wl,-enable-auto-import -Wl,-enable-runtime-pseudo-rel
oc -mthreads -Wl -Wl,-subsystem,windows -o "debug\hello.exe" debug\hello.o -L"c
:\Qt\4.3.0\lib" -lmingw32 -lqtmaind -lQtGuid4 -lQtCored4
C:\MinGW\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2\..\..\..\..\ mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot fin
d -lQtGuid4


By defaults qmake generate a "debug" Makefile that link the executable with the debug version of Qt libraries (-lqtmaind -lQtGuid4 -lQtCored4).
You have to compile Qt in debug version (with the link in Qt Folder od Start Menu) or, if you want to avoid the debug version, you can specify the line

CONFIG += release

in your .pro file
