How to compile and create qt-creator from the src packege

[wincry]

Hi everybody,
i am completely new to programming and qt. Recently i downloaded qt 4.5 src packege
and created the static lib of qt with mingw compiler. i have also downloaded src package
of qt-creator-1.2.1 so i can compile it on my own using mingw compiler, but i cant compile it . i get a lot of errors. i followed the following procedure .......

c:\qt-creator-1.2.1-src\qmake -project
c:\qt-creator-1.2.1-src\qmake
c:\qt-creator-1.2.1-src\mingw32-make

please tell me how should i make it.

with regards..............

You want to use Qt-creator or just want to build it. As you are starting with Qt and programming, better go for Installing Qt-SDK with binary installer.

To build qt statically use these commands:

cd C:\path\to\Qt
configure -static <any other options you need>

cd C:\path\to\Qt
configure -static <any other options you need>

no no you don't understand yogeshgokul,
i have already build the static lib of qt4 using mingw compiler, i just want to compile qt-creator on my own.

[yogeshgokul]

no no you don't understand yogeshgokul,

Sorry for that.

i just want to compile qt-creator on my own.

At the time of compiling creator, why you entered qmake -project ?
You just need
"make" to build.
Just refer INSTALL file came with creator source archive.
