getting qmake to make the plugin

[illuzioner]

hi, thanks for looking.

the entire output from the nmake is this:

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 7.10.3077

nmake -f Makefile.Release

Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"F:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

so that's the only error returned. i'm clueless as to what's going on. the qmake variables are confusing me too, as they're used but i can't see where they're ever defined.

woops, thought you wanted the output instead of the command. the commands are:

qmake worldtimeclockplugin.pro

and then simply

nmake

that's it. what should i do??

Do you use the Qt Command Prompt or regular cmd.exe?

i looked at this link, but i don't see how it applies. there was something about vcvarsall.bat, (which i don't know what it is or does), but it doesn't seem to be included in vs 2003. is vsvars.bat the 2003 equivalent ?

originally i didn't even understand your question. i then found in the qt programs folder the Qt command prompt. so, to answer your question, i have been using a straight dos prompt, not the qt version. i opened the qt prompt and did an nmake, and it actually compiled and linked without errors!

it doesn't seem that the qt prompt really does that much other than set up a couple of variables. so, i'm wondering which command made the difference. i think my path and qtdir were fine, so maybe the qmakespec, but i really don't know what the alternative to win32-msvc.net would even be.

anyway, it works now, so just asking the question helped. thanks!

Yes, it sets up some environment variables required by M$ toolchain.

I would double check the PATH variable.
