QT4 beginner Fatal Error

[Remyfr]

Hi,

I just installed QT4 with Mingw on XP.
When I try as shown in the tutorials to compile an example I get an error message from Make.

First I do qmake -projet, it is fine
then I do qmake , it is also fine,
but when I do the final make, I get the following error message :
Fatal : 'FORCE' does not exist - dont know how to make it.
To give you more detail the makefile content is below.
I have looked everywhere to solve this issue, but as I am a beginner I am lost .....

Thanks for helping me.

Remy.

Could we see the .pro file which was generated?

Hi,

Here is the pro file :


TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += qt warn_on
HEADERS =
SOURCES = main.cpp
TARGET = t1
QTDIR_build:REQUIRES="contains(QT_CONFIG, small-config)"

# install
target.path = $$[QT_INSTALL_EXAMPLES]/tutorial/t1
sources.files = $$SOURCES $$HEADERS $$RESOURCES $$FORMS t1.pro
sources.path = $$[QT_INSTALL_EXAMPLES]/tutorial/t1
INSTALLS += target sources

i saw the same problem with make.

Look if you see the mingw directory. You can find out the make program but its not call only make is something like mingw-make or something like this. (sorry i am in mac i dont have a pc close to me to check.)

well if the make in mingw/bin is not named make when you write make in the console what make is called?

Well if you see inside c:\Qt\4.1.1\bin you will find a file make.bat these is the file that is called when you write make in the console(cmd).

well i want that you know this first.

But i saw this problem when you have another compiler with its own make. And this is accesible via console. for example c++ builder these program in the installation process configure the Path.

How the make in qt4 is a bat file. I rename these make.bat to minmake.bat (mingwmake) and when i need to call make for qt i use minmake.

And thats all. I hope that you can detect de problem.

but try to find what make you are calling.
