i have installed evaluation version of qt 4.2.2(i think its the commercial version) and i have installed nmake 1.5 for windows..
now i made a folder n kept the basic "hello world" program's cpp file in the folder.
now on command prompt when getting into the folder, i m given yhe follwing commands then i m getting the following error w/c i m unable to fix.. can any1 plz help me..
i think the problem is in the "makefile" or "qmakespec"

C:\try1>qmake -project

C:\try1>qmake

C:\try1>nmake

What compiler do you use? The nmake utility seems to be veery old.

Visual Studio 6 is not supported by Qt4.

Try using MinGW or newer version of Visual Studio instead.

Hmm... I just looked here: http://www.trolltech.com/developer/notes/compilers/vcpp

Seems that 6.0 is still "supported" (although it has problems), thought it has an additional requirement:

Visual C++ 6.0 requires Service Pack 5 to work correctly with Qt. If you are using Visual C++ version 6.0 we highly recommend that you update to SP5.

Maybe you have an older version of the compiler? The error message suggests the problem lies within the tool chain, not Qt.
