Hi,
I am trying to run a simple hello world program and when I try to make the .pro file I get the error:
Makefile:92: *** multiple target patterns. Stop.
Line 92 of my Makefile is:
Makefile: hello2.pro C:\Qt\3.2.1NonCommercial\mkspecs\cygwin-g++\qmake.conf
I am using cygwin.
Does anyone know what I should do?

I think that the problem is that your Makefile contains a windows paths, not Unix ones and Cygwin's make gets confused.Quote:

AFAIR 3.2.1NC supports only MSVC and Borland compilers. I think g++ won't be able to (at least) link with the library produced for MSVC or Borland (there are two distinct versions - each for one of the compiler families).Quote:

Error processing project file: C:/cygwin/home/Melissa Aaron/opengl/hello/hello.pro
So I then set QMAKESPEC to equal "C:/Qt/3.2.1NonCommercial/mkspecs/cygwin-g++"
If I do that then $qmake hello.pro doesn't give me any errors, but $make gives me the multiple target patterns error.
Maybe you should try "/c/Qt/3.2.1NonCommercial/mkspecs/cygwin-g++"?Quote:

Do you know if there's anyway to change that backslash?
And thanks for your help.
I'm afraid that if qmake insists on putting that backslash there, it might not be suitable for use with Cygwin. Are you sure that the Qt version you have supports g++?Quote:

o, Thanks. Sorry I didn't notice that before. So what can/do I do now?
Switch compilers or switch Qt versions. If you insist on using 3.2.1NC, then you should be able to compile applications with the MSVC version available on Microsoft website (it's called Express or something like that). An alternative is to switch to Qt4.
Actually, now that I think about it... initially I was able to get it working. And then I tried to recomplie the code and thats when I began to run into all the errors. So how can g++ be uncompatible if I was able to make it work?
I don't know, maybe MinGW is binary compatible with Borland?
