Need help installing / configuring
Hy, I'm a QT beginner, I tried to install and run it today on my Windows machine, but despite my best efforts and to my disappointment only caused lots of wasted hours. I tried everything possible, but this thing is impossible to start.
Okay, so after a day of work, I figured out how to set up most of it. I've gotten to the part where everything needed is in the path, I generated the project, the source files and the Makefile (with qmake). The only thing that doesn't work is the last step. I tried with nmake, i got this error:
Code:
e:/Qt/qt/bin\moc.exe -DUNICODE -DWIN32 -DQT_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT -DQT_DLL -
DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -I"..\..\Qt\qt\include\QtCore" -I"

Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\n
make.exe"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
Then I installed mingw, this one gave the following error:
Code:
E:\qttest\myqtapp>mingw32-make
mingw32-make -f Makefile.Debug
mingw32-make[1]: Entering directory `E:/qttest/myqtapp'
Makefile.Debug:61: *** missing separator. Stop.
mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory `E:/qttest/myqtapp'
mingw32-make: *** [debug] Error 2
The source files are taken from this tutorial, unmodified. The env. variables are set like the instructions said. Searched google, tried setting the path with vcvarsall.bat, reinstalled 2 times, but I can't figure it out, and I can't spend one more day on this, it's hard for me to understand why it needs to be so complicated. ;)
Thx for your help.

Okay, so if i read correctly, the free version of QT only works with mingw (yes, i have the free licensed)? This might be the problem with nmake, but why doesn't mingw give error? Does the source have errors?

No, you can also compile your own Qt libs with msvc. These libs work fine with Visual Studio.
I compiled x86 and x64 and use it with VS 2008 Professional and the Qt VS Add-in. This setup utilizes the VS build system, which I prefer to the qmake/nmake scenario.
As for your mingw32-make problem: did you run qmake again to generate Makefiles for mingw? I expect them to be different from the msvc Makefiles. And I would try to run make against "Makefile" rather than "Makefile.Debug".
By the way: If you want to experiment with Qt, why not start with the QtCreator IDE? It is part of the binary-SDK for Windows and works out of the box. And it brings its own mingw-Version with it.
Re: Need help installing / configuring
Okay, I talked to someone and he sent some instructions on how to use it in VS. I'll try to do this.
Yes, i remade with qmake for mingw.
I tried to QTCreator, but since it's kinda new, no one talked or wrote about it, so I just figured I'll go the classic way :)
Thx for the help.
Re: Need help installing / configuring
I am having simliar problems. I want to use PyQt. Its documentation says that I need to have installed SIP and also Python. So I installed Python2.6.1 today. Then I started to install SIP. I managed to configure it by adding a copy of the Python interpreter in my SIP folder. But I am stuck with building SIP. The README says "The next step is to build SIP by running your platform's make command. For example:
The final step is to install SIP by running the following command:
However, "make" doesn't work for me. Im on windows, and simply using "make" doesnt work, in my SIP directory. I also tried nmake and qmake, but they don't work either. How am I supposed to install this?
