moc.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command

Hi everyone,
I am getting this error after trying to configure for a static build.
When relaunching the Qt Creator and trying to do a simple build on existing project I am getting this error messages:

Error while building project appchooser

I did some searching and still couldn't find out what the problem is and how to go about solving this issue.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,

It seems you have an installation problem, as Qt should be where its looking. Try reinstalling Qt.

Thanks for your reply.

I know that fresh install works. This problem comes after trying to deploy my app in static mode without any dependices of dll files.

I read the tutorial which said to use this command

configure -static

after this I get errors when recompiling.

I hope this clears up any misunderstanding.

Thanks,

Something did came to my mind. During installation my anti-virus did detect some files they thought to be suspecious. I am not sure if those were important but I will look into again. But I do have to say that problems comes after the static configuration.

Thanks again for any other help,

This makes no sense to me.

I finally narrow down where the problem occurs.

First thing I did was to edit the qmake.conf by adding this line
QMAKE_LFLAGS = -static -enable-stdcall-fixup -Wl,-enable-auto-import -Wl,-enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc

then, I did was
configure -static -release -no-exceptions

Everything went well and completes everything.

Finally when I do,
mingw32-make sub-src

That when the similar error shows up and never completes the build

Here is a snippet of the error.

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
mingw32-make[2]: *** [..\..\..\bin\moc.exe] Error 1
mingw32-make[2]: Leaving directory `c:/Qt/2010.01/qt/src/tools/moc'
mingw32-make[1]: *** [release] Error 2
mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory `c:/Qt/2010.01/qt/src/tools/moc'
mingw32-make: *** [sub-moc-sub_src_target_ordered] Error 2

I don't think it's the installation problem because I reinstalled it several times already but with the same results.

All I want is to make my application static without any dependencies of any dll files.

I am following this tutorial:
http://wiki.qtcentre.org/index.php?title=Building_static_Qt_on_Windows

Any suggestion or is just me who is get this error? Did anyone create a app that is static before?

Thank You,
Deshi
