[vishal.chauhan]

Hi All,

I have downloaded Qt 4.3.3 open source edition and installed it on my window 2000 having visual studio 2006.

I have set the environment variables on my pc.

I have successfully run the command qmake and have make the .dsw project for vc.
when I build the project from the vc editor it give the following error ....

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file "c:\Qt\4.3.3\lib\qtmain.lib"

the qtmain.lib does not exists in the lib directory of qt.

If any body knows how I can Build my project then plz help me.


Thanks.
Vishal

What files are in that directory?

[vishal.chauhan]

Actually the lib folder contains the .a and .prl files.

You downloaded the mingw version but compile with msvc - this can't work.
You need to compile Qt by your own.

Yeah we have downloaded the mingw version so that this is not working..
Which Qt should be dowload and install so that it will support VC6.0 and not give this type of
lib error...

Look at our homepage and choose the version without MinGW.

you must rebuild it but note that you must configure it for msvc as follows:
configure -release -platform win32-msvc2005
and build it.
