"make" is giving an error

[Sarma]

Hi all
Recently I have installed QT-Windows on my PC.During installation itself has set the path to PATH=C:\Qt\4.1.1\bin;C:\MinGW\bin;C:\WINDOWS\Syste m32

I have tried to execute an example program given in tutorial 1 i.e., "Hello World"
these r the steps i have followed:

C:\Qt\4.1.1\bin\Code\ex>qmake -project

C:\Qt\4.1.1\bin\Code\ex>qmake

C:\Qt\4.1.1\bin\Code\ex>make
mingw32-make -f Makefile.Debug all
mingw32-make[1]: Entering directory `C:/Qt/4.1.1/bin/Code/ex'

x.o -L"C:\Qt\4.1.1\lib" -L"C:\Qt\4.1.1\lib" -lmingw32 -lqtmaind -lQtGuid4 -lQtC

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
mingw32-make[1]: *** [debug\ex.exe] Error 1
mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/Qt/4.1.1/bin/Code/ex'
mingw32-make: *** [debug-all] Error 2

Here "Code,ex" are the user defined directories."ex" contains the ex.cpp file

Please tell me what might the fault.
Its very urgent

Thanks in advance

It looks like you didn't build Qt in debug mode.

There is a QT4.1.1 (Build Debug Libraries)prompt.Is tht wat u r saying to run.

It wasn't debugging, it was compiling Qt in debug mode. Better start it again and wait until it finishes.

i'm now run again build debug libraries, no idea when it will finish the process:eek:

Yeah, do you guys know why Trolltech do not release the binary for linux distribution, either in RPM or DEB format or just a ZIP file? It is too time consuming to compile all things from beginning.

Because they would have to create and maintain a separate RPM/DEB package for each Linux distribution?

Distribution creators are responsible for maintaining packages. Did you check your distribution? Maybe there is a precompiled Qt available?


It is too time consuming to compile all things from beginning.
But you do it only once.
