Newbie help again please! (Win XP SP3)

I can see that - not very well covered in the tutorial?

On to Qmake, then - why do I need to 'run Qmake' for this 'project'? Where is this guidance on the web?

I try QTscript Calculator - it compiles and I have a release exe. I does not run -'Procedure entry point xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx could not be located in the dynamic link library QtCore4.dll'

Now what?

EDIT: Thank the Lord for QTForum.org - I found a cure via Google

"My Solution: ...found old QtCore and QtGui dll's in System32 directory. The release version was referencing these dll's. I removed them. "

Could be something as simple as the tutorial being written for an earlier version of Qt Creator.

If you read the QMake documentation you'll see why its necessary, its basically makes the entire process simpler. Without it you'll be writing makefiles by hand.

Because makefiles for examples are prepared according to the build paths and not deployment paths. So you need to regenerate the makefile for proper paths.

The guidance is in the manual, as usual.

It means you have more than one version of QtCore4.dll and the one you are using is not the one you should be using.
