make--dosn't generate an .exe file

[Nora]

Hi there,, I hope all of you are OK and ready to answer me.

First of all, I use Windows XP as a platform in my computer, home eddition with no any Serviece Pack, and Qt 4.3.2 with MinGW-3.4.2.

I did a lot of examples using Qt tutorials, and I am getting better in Qt programming. Suddenly, when I decided to resume my Qt tutorials and installed Qt and its related tools such as MinGW, I found unusual message after calling "make" command

exactly as the following:

C:\Qt\t1>qmake -project
 
C:\Qt\t1>qmake t1.pro
 
C:\Qt\t1>make

Please I am sure that I haven't made any mistake about the variables environment or the installation. I used to make the following recommanded variables environment and then it was working very well.

Setting up a MinGW/Qt only environment...
-- QTDIR set to C:\Qt\4.3.2
-- PATH set to C:\Qt\4.3.2\bin
-- Adding C:\MinGW\bin to PATH
-- Adding C:\WINDOWS\System32 to PATH
-- QMAKESPEC set to win32-g++

-- QMAKESPEC set to win32-g++

please help me by Allah and guide me to the straight way. I'll be thankfull for ever.
I miss Qt widgets

hmm... can you post the content of your t1.pro file?

[Nora]

Ok.... Here you are:
I've gotten it by this command (type t1.pro):

thank you for any help

As I read, the environment variables were set automatically in qt's "own environtent". And if the system can't find the right path, it means that they're not set up properly, there's no other way. Try adding things to e.v's manually. Start->Control Panel->System->Advanced tab->Environments

[Nora]

I tryed, Salazar,,, Do you think that I should make such variables in both "User Variables" and "System Variables" or It's enough to make them in any one? and I reinstalled Qt more than three times,,The problem has not been solved yet.

Notice that I made them within System Variables. But this is my normal way and it was working.
--------------------

Actually when I started learning Qt Programming I wasn't playing with those variables at all. simply I install Qt and Its followed MinGW.

What's happenned QT? Do you plan to abandon me in this empty world

[ChristianEhrlicher]

check if g++.exe / gcc.exe is in your PATH (by simply executing them)

You have to add the variables to user, not system variables. Some time ago, I've had the same problem, when I was starting to learn qt, I've added variables manually, and it helped

[Nora]

Yap ChristianEhrlicher, g++ is in PATH and it works as well as you want.

Salazaar, I've carried all of the Qt's variables to the User's variables as you've pointed and the problem has not been solved yet.


Thank all of you...

[ChristianEhrlicher]

Ok, three more things

- 'C:/Qt/t1' looks to me like you maybe have sh.exe from msys or cygwin in your PATH env (maybe not anymore, but during qmake run). If yes, remove it and rerun qmake.
- Is c:\Qt\4.3.2\include\ really the path where your Qt include files are?
- does directory c:\Qt\t1\release exist?
- plz give your TARGET a usefull name (and rerun qmake)

[Nora]

Reported to ChristianEhrlicher:

- Point number one is false, and there are no any such terms(sh.exe, cygwin) in PATH.
-It's enough to determine c:\Qt\4.3.2\ directry in QTDIR. Although I've taken your advice for including "c:\Qt\4.3.2\include\ " in the Path and It hasn't effected any thing.
-This point is true, the directory c:\Qt\t1\release exists.
-About the target's name. Don't worry about any technical mistakes because this project is exactly the copy project of the FORMAL t1 of the QT's tutorials themselves.

Note: Does the format of the computer itself effect the Qt job later? I'd made FAT format last time before this problem appeared. Sorry if my question is tooooo .

Best Wishes

Does the format of the computer itself effect the Qt job later? I'd made FAT format last time before this problem appeared.

As far as I'm concerned, if you format your disc with FAT, and after it you'll be installing Windows XP, it will change FAT to NTFS if there's need to.

[Nora]

congratulation guys...

This problem has been solved by reformatting my computer and reinstalling the operating system. Actually by exchanging the system format from FAT to NTFS. I think that there was a problem in the operating system itself and it was not related to the formatting type.

Then I examined and noticed that Qt tools (e.g...qmake, make,...) work fine from Qt's command window without making variables environment at all. They are important when we want to call such commands from DOS console window itself or to build our widgets from an IDE such as QDevelpe. this is just my note and I hope it is right...

I appreciate everything you've done...I am thankful
