    Right now I am not at my windows box but the path should be like "c:\qt\2010.5\src\bin".

    It would rather be c:\qt\2010.05\qt\bin

    I can not find any bin folder under src directory.

    This is the screen shot of my setting. I notice I can not see minGW path after I select the qmake path.

    Thanks

    How does "can't build anything" manifest itself? Did you choose the right version of Qt for your project?

    well , I am working on a project with some other classmates, they all have diffrent version of Qt on their system. I did the following:

    1- I downloaded the latest version of the Qt from the website. ( Qt SDK for Windows* (322 MB) )

    1-1 followed the instruction.

    2-Then under File/ OpenFile, Project Opened my project

    2-1 and I got the Project Setup message ( look at the attachment) , I clicked Finish

    3- Then I Tried to build and I get this error : ( Look at the attachment )

    Could not find make command: make in the build environment
    Error while building project SampleGUI (target: Desktop)
    When executing build step 'Make'

    4- then I added the path from here : c:\qt\2010.05\qt\bin

    ( look at the attachment)

    but I can not build the project.

    Creator can't find Qt in your path (which means you did something non-standard while installing the SDK). Please make sure you don't start Creator in some non-standard way. Make sure you have MinGW installed (it should get installed during the installation of the SDK) and that you don't have any other "make" (like the one from Cygwin) in your path.

    Ok!

    I deleted the Cygwin and mingw that I installed separately to get the Qt working from C:\mingw and C:\Cygwin .

    Than I uninstalled Qt and installed Qt again.

    I followed the instruction by clicking next and ok, and I still get the same error.

    Was Creator able to find Qt installation in your PATH?

    What are you referring to by "Was Creator able to find find Qt installation in your PATH" ?

    I still get this message ( look at the attachment)

    Currently your project is set up to use the version of Qt that is found in PATH and since your PATH doesn't contain Qt, you can't build the project. Either run Creator with PATH pointing to your Qt installation (you may use the Qt Command prompt to do it - launch it and then launch Creator from there) or switch the project build to use the version of Qt you have set up manually.

    What do you mean by "since your PATH doesn't contain Qt, "?
    Can you give me some direction?

    Look at the last attachment in #9 again, especially the part that says "not found". If you don't know what PATH is or how to manipulate it on your system, google for it.

    Can you give me some direction?
    I already did that.

    The path you mention its suppose to be found by qt automatically as it says.

    Im trying to solve ths issue from google for past month thats why i am here now.

    Iam doing everything normally and as usual . I tried on other computer and work just fine .

    So you are saying i need to add the PATH to the not found place manually?

    No, Creator is looking in PATH for Qt, it doesn't look for path.

    You don't add PATH to anything. If at all, you may add something to PATH. Please just google for Windows+setting+PATH or something similar if you want to know what I'm talking about. But it will really be easier if you switch your project to the Qt version you have set manually - open the "Projects" pane for your project and set the version of Qt to the proper one. If you use some very old version of the Qt SDK, you might need to change this setting elsewhere.
