SET PATH=%PATH%;<QTDIR>\mingw\bin\

Replace <QTDIR> with where you installed Qt, for example: c:\qt\2009.03

But most people prefer to just use the QtCreator application which does this for you.

Notice that the make command is renamed, the others are not, and Qt Creator knows where to find them. The search path is probably broken if you cannot execute gcc or qmake. Start the "Qt Command Prompt" from the Windows Start menu and check that the path looks like:

Path=C:\Qt\2009.03\qt\bin;C:\Qt\2009.03\bin;C:\Qt\2009.03\mingw\bin;C:\WINDOWS\System32

Path=C:\Qt\2009.03\qt\bin;C:\Qt\2009.03\bin;C:\Qt\2009.03\mingw\bin;C:\WINDOWS\System32

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

If you are installing into a path that contains spaces then that may well be the cause of the problems you are experiencing. This is listed as a known problem of the Qt Creator/SDK.
