cant ceate makefile

[mcosta]

i am trying to make the MAKEFILE of qwtplot3d.pro and i was not able because i get this error message:
NMAKE : fatal error U1064: MAKEFILE not found and no target specified
Stop.

Are you used qmake?

You must do this
$qmake -o Makefile <name>.pro
$make

hi mcosta,

i tried:
qmake qwtplot3d.pro
nmake


if i try your example i get a Makefile and a error:
qmake -o Makefile qwtplot3d.pro
nmake

Error:

Bevor i have allways used qmake <name>.pro and nmake to compile everything

Try
qmake -makefile -spec win32-msvc [name].pro
or
qmake -makefile -spec win32-msvc.net [name].pro
If it works then your QMAKESPEC env var is not set correctly.
Could you post the Makefile that does not build?

hi yop

My QMAKESPEC env var is set = "win32-msvc" and i have compiled more then 100 examples
Its just amazing that i am not able to compile qwtplot3d.pro ;(

I have tried:
qmake -makefile -spec win32-msvc [name].pro
and
qmake -makefile -spec win32-msvc.net [name].pro
and i get this:

if i run:

i get this makefile:

My experience is with gnu make makefiles so you should keep in mind that I might be mistaking. The only line that seems that could fail is: $(SOURCE) "$(INTDIR)" "$(OUTDIR)" when generating the moced sources. Could you try setting the MOC_DIR in your .pro file?

[raphaelf]

hi!

how should i set the MOC_Dir and wich values? Or where could i read about?

hi!

Just write

MOC_DIR = mocs

MOC_DIR = mocs

in your .pro file. See your Qt documentation for the "qmake User Guide" I find this a must if you are developing using Qt
