Question

Answer 1

+3 A:

It depends on what compiler you are using. If you're using GCC or MinGW, type make. If make cannot be found, either it is not installed, or it's not in your path (more likely to be the case). Try using the command prompt shortcut Qt provides you (if on Windows). If on a POSIX-based/-like system, make should exist. If it doesn't, then it depends if you're on a Mac or on Linux/BSD. On a Mac, make should come with the developer tools, which is one of the last CDs in the OS X installation CDs. If you're on Linux, use your package manager. rpm for Red Hat based systems, apt for Debian based systems, and so on. Google about them.

If you're using Visual C++ and nmake doesn't work, it could mean that nmake isn't on your path. Try using the Visual C++ command prompt instead of the normal command prompt (should be somewhere in your start menu).

It would be more helpful if you could mention how you installed Qt, and on what system.

+1 "but no results" is a bit vague, isn't it? There's usually *a result*...error messages, things like that. :)

@Hostile Fork - When I'm saying "no results" it means: no results. If there would happened anything I would list it. And what's vague about "no results"? How else shal I say that nothing has happened?

From looking at the tags that @atch is following I see a visual studio tag.

Actually, yes, I just realised, what does "no results mean". The only way for there to be absolutely nothing printed is if make exists, and make is very chatty, so it's not likely that you invoke make and make doesn't say something.

@blwy10 - I installed Qt by executing exe file downloaded from Qt site. I'm using Windows 7. I'm not using Visual Studio for this purpose. I hope this help. Looking forward to your answer.

@atch, do you mean no output files like exe files or object files? no output at the command line? or both? No results can mean anything, because a result can be anything.

blwy10 2010-01-09 18:58:23

@atch Which exe file? The full SDK? The one with Qt only? And for which compiler? I assume you want to use MinGW; did you install the Qt package for MinGW?

blwy10 2010-01-09 19:00:45

Yes, when I type qmake after all this steps I've listed no output files are generated and console is in state as it was from before I executed qmake. For example, if I had something like this in console: C:\Users\Arthur\Documents\Qt\Projects> then I've typed qmake and pressed enter output in console is: C:\Users\Arthur\Documents\Qt\Projects>.

@blwy10 to be honest I don't remember which file I downloaded. Maybe I should try download and install full SDK? What are you thinking?

qmake is less chatty than make. When qmake runs without errors it doesn't say anything. qmake is a Makefile generator; when you type qmake and nothing else, and it doesn't say anything, it has successfully generated your Makefile. Given that qmake is on your path, make will be on your path. So type make, and it should compile. If not, try mingw32-make.

blwy10 2010-01-09 19:05:27

@atch Which compiler are you using? MinGW right? Do you have MinGW installed?

blwy10 2010-01-09 19:06:05

@blwy after mingw32-make it created .o and .exe but when I try to execute .exe I'm getting error: "The program can't start because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem". Any idea why this happens?

There is nothing we can do 2010-01-09 19:44:03

@blwy10 I found this file (libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll) in c:\qt\2009.05\mingw\bin. I wonder why I'm getting the error I mentioned previously?

There is nothing we can do 2010-01-09 19:49:09

Because c:\qt\2009.05\mingw\bin is not in your path. In order for a program to find the DLL it needs, the DLL must either be in the same folder as the program, or the folder the DLL is in must be on the path. Use dependency walker to determine what DLLs you need, and then search your computer for them. A good search tool for files is locate32.

Answer 2

A:

I believe you need to do something like:

qmake -o Makefile hello.pro

Then type make or nmake depending on the compiler you use.

David Glass 2010-01-09 19:03:06

This doesn't work.
