Problem with nmake

[Pragya]

Hi all,
I am trying to build a program using nmake, previously I was able to do it using nmake but when I execute the nmake commmand in Qt installed directory, the problem started.
Though I am still able to comile and run the program using VS 2005 by adding
TEMPLATE = vcapp but not using the commmand prompt

C:\t1>qmake
C:\t1>nmake

Does anyone face the similar problem?

How have you installed Qt? From a binary installer? Where exactly did you invoke nmake (when the installation broke)?

[Pragya]

Yes I have installed Qt from binary and it was installed properly but when I accidently executed nmake command from the installed directory, the problem started.
C:\Qt\4.2.2>nmake

Did you run configure.exe too? I don't think the binary installation has a makefile in the installation root at all. Maybe it would be easiest to simply reinstall, and why not update too while installing anyway?
