nmake problems while building mysql driver

[MarkoSan]

Hi to all!

Did someone meet with following pitfall: I am developing an mysql based application and I need mysql driver. So I tried to built it with:

qmake -o Makefile "INCLUDEPATH+=c:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\include" "LIBS+=c:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\lib\opt\libmysql.lib" mysql.pro

qmake does not report any error, however, on

nmake

i get:

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 8.00.50727.762

NMAKE : fatal error U1065: invalid option '-'
Stop.

Have you tried using this step-by-step guide?

In my signature it states i use Visual Studio 2005 and not MinGW.

I found out if I enter in command shell (qt command shell with all paths) I get:

Does anyone have a clue if this is normal nmake operation or not? Is maybe nmake buggy? I've installed Service Pack 1 and that patch for compiling qt app.

Did you configure Qt for your compiler?

[MarkoSan]

I've installed it and everything works fine, application compiles without problem!

But if I run configure it also fails with same error, I really do not have any clue what the hell is going on!!

[wysota]

Different things may be wrong. Qt can be configured for a different compiler, for example, so that Makefiles generated by qmake are for a different infrastructure - that's why I asked if have you configured Qt for your compiler.

[MarkoSan]

I've installed qt and if qt weren't configured for my compiler, my application simply would not have compile at all. The problem is, if I run nmake solo, without anything, I get same error as if I run configure or start build process of mysql driver.

I'm talking about the sources, not the binaries.

So please tell me did you configure the sources for msvc 2005? As far as I remember the "-platform win32-msvc2005" (or something like that) switch may be required if Qt can't determine your configuration on its own. Also please try running "qmake" before running nmake, maybe it just needs to regenerate some Makefile. Did you by any chance modified any of the project files?

Listen, if I run nmake in the directory where no makefiles are I still get same error. I cannot recompile sources because configure exists with same error!

What happens if you create a Makefile with the following contents:

all:
<tabulator here>echo "blabla"
<empty line here>

and run nmake?
