Qt 4.3.4 installation problem.

Printable View

Hello,

I am trying to install Qt 4.3.4 on a computer using Visual Studio 2008 Express.

I found two tutorials online, but I am having difficulty installing it.

I have run the vsvars32.bat, but when i execute "configure" from the prompt window (I am using the Visual Studio command window), instead of telling me to run nmake, it tells me to run mingw32-make. If I run that, I get an error, if I try to run nmake, I get another error.

Below is the environment variables as seen when I run configure:

Code:

Environment:
    INCLUDE=
      C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\INCLUDE
      C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include
      C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\INCLUDE
      C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include
 
    LIB=
      C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\LIB
      C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\lib
      C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\LIB
      C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\lib
 
    PATH=
      C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE
      C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN
      C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools
      C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5
      C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

      C:\Python23
      C:\Python23\Scripts
      C:\Python23\Enthought\MingW\bin
      C:\Python23\Enthought\SWIG-1.3.21
      C:\Qt\4.3\bin
      C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin

This is the error I get when I run nmake:

Code:

NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'c:/Program\'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN
\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cd' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

I appreciate your help,

Anna

Re: Qt 4.3.4 installation problem.

Do you pass any flags to configure?

When you run configure it should output Qt's configuration. What is the build type?

I did not pass any flags to configure.

This is what appears after the information that I gave in my last post:

This means that Qt will use MinGW toolchain. Pass "-platform win32-msvc" option to configure.

Re: Qt 4.3.4 installation problem.

It is finally starting to compile! We'll see how it goes.

I would like to thank you jacek, and everyone else on this forum who has helped me. Not only have people always had an answer, but they are almost always kind and patient. I imagine that a person more experienced than me in Qt, and programming in general, might get impatient, but as I am only learning, I really appriciate the patience of those who have helped me.

Again, thank you.
