How to compile and create qt-creator from the src packege

You want to use Qt-creator or just want to build it. As you are starting with Qt and programming, better go for Installing Qt-SDK with binary installer.

Many Thanks for replay yogeshgokul,

i know that i can use the sdk package but i want to static build the package
so i will not need the dll files,i never compiled a qt project before so i want to compile a qt project on my own. please yogeshgokul if know how can this be done please tell me.i just want to learn.

i am getting following errors like..

release/main.o:main.cpp

To build qt statically use these commands:

Qt Code:

Switch view

cd C:\path\to\Qt
configure -static <any other options you need>

cd C:\path\to\Qt
configure -static <any other options you need>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

At the time of compiling creator, why you entered qmake -project ?
You just need
"make" to build.
Just refer INSTALL file came with creator source archive.
