I have downloaded the package for QT 4.6 and installed it. I am able to compile projects, but there is one that im trying gives this error. The project file :



################################################## ####################
# QextSerialPort Test Application (QESPTA)
################################################## ####################


PROJECT = QESPTA
TEMPLATE = app
DEPENDPATH += .
INCLUDEPATH += ../..
QMAKE_LIBDIR += ../../build


OBJECTS_DIR = .obj

CONFIG(debug, debug|release):LIBS += -lqextserialportd
else:LIBS += -lqextserialport

Thanks.

i have used QT Creator to build, the code builds properly on windows platform but not on Mac OSX, the project is one of the samples from qextserialport project at sourceforge, the compile output in the Creator produces the following:

make: *** No rule to make target `\usr\local\Qt4.6\mkspecs\macx-g++\qmake.conf', needed by `Makefile'. Stop.

I've this problem right now when I try to go static. (At QT Creator it all builds OK).


macbook-de-tcb13:qt-source TCB13$ cd /Users/TCB13/ABBK/ABBK
macbook-de-tcb13:ABBK TCB13$ make clean
make: *** No rule to make target `../../qt/mkspecs/macx-g++/qmake.conf', needed by `Makefile'. Stop.

macbook-de-tcb13:ABBK TCB13$ export PATH
macbook-de-tcb13:ABBK TCB13$ qmake -config release
macbook-de-tcb13:ABBK TCB13$ make
make: *** No rule to make target `../../qt/mkspecs/macx-g++/qmake.conf', needed by `Makefile'. Stop.


Some weeks ago this was working ok, I think this happened after I update QT to the latest version, I've build QT statically from the source again but the problem remains...

Some help would be nice! Thanks.

Hi everyone, I solved by problem by recreating the MakeFile like this:


/Users/TCB13/qt-source/bin/qmake -config release -o Makefile /Users/TCB13/ABBK/ABBK/ABBK.pro


Then issue the normal compile routine:

cd /Users/TCB13/ABBK/ABBK/
PATH=/Users/TCB13/qt-source/bin:$PATH; export PATH
qmake -config release; make; make clean

And everything will work fine!
