Installation

I am a beginner and I tried to install open source Qt for C++ on Windows machine.
It gives me the following error.

NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'Qt'
Stop.

I have already set the environment variables for Qt .

Why is it happening and what should I do.

Thanks
Sanwar

Which version are you trying to install? Did you run the configure utility?

Its version 4.2

The Open Source version of Qt 4 doesn't work (officially) M$ toolchain. Either install MinGW (you can even download a precompiled version of Qt from Trolltech) or try this (but I'm not sure if it works).

I am running into a similar problem using Qt 4.2.0 open source and msvc.net.

I tried using the directions on the http://qtnode.net/wiki/Qt4_with_Visual_Studio page and received the NMAKE: U1073 error (don't know how to make 'generators\win32\msvc_dsp.h') when running "qconfigure.bat -msvc.net".

Is the only solution to use the commercial version?
