Problem compile example in windows

[walito]

Hi, Im newbie in QT :D

I installed codeblocks with MinGW and now installed QT, in the install I selected MinGW from codeblock directory, but I need compile from command line.

I try compile the example "hello world", but I have many error. :confused:

The error is:


E:\Qt\test1>g++ -I"C:\Qt\4.4.3\include\Qt" -I"C:\Qt\4.4.3\include" -L"C:\Qt\4.4.3\lib" main.cpp -o main.exe

Which can be the problem? :confused:

It looks like you are not linking against Qt.
Can you show your pro file contents?

[walito]

THz for reply...

I haven't file .pro, I only main.cpp file.

main.cpp


#include <QApplication.h>
#include <QLabel.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
QLabel *label = new QLabel("Hello Qt!");
label->show();
return app.exec();
}

As far as I know CodeBlocks generates Makefiles itself and doesn't directly support Qt, is that why you are compiling from the command line?

Anyway, the command to compile should look like this:

E:\Qt\test1>g++ -I"C:\Qt\4.4.3\include\Qt" -I"C:\Qt\4.4.3\include" -L"C:\Qt\4.4.3\lib" -lQtGui -lQtCore main.cpp -o main.exe

Note the addition of -lQtCore and -lQtGui. If you used .pro files and qmake, it would automatically generate Makefiles so you don't have to run the compiler yourself. To learn more about qmake and the .pro syntax you can check out the qmake manual (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qmake-manual.html).

You should probably have a look at QDevelop, or Qt Software's Eclipse Integration or probably even the still-unfinished Qt Creator if you want to write applications using Qt. They make life a whole lot easier ;)
