Problem installing QT on Vista

Question

Hello,

I have downloaded QT SDK LGLP (Creator + libraries) 4.6 and I am having problems compiling projects. After install I have added C:\Qt\2010.02\qt;C:\Qt\2010.02\qt\bin to PATH and added QTDIR env varaible containing C:\Qt\2010.02\qt, the I run "configure -platform win32-g++" to compile it. Everything went good. I the tried to use QT Creator to create and compile a project.

The problem is everytime I try to compile I get the following error message:

No valid Qt version set. Set one in Tools/Options Error while building project GUITest When executing build step 'QMake' Canceled build.

When I go to Tools/Options the manual version is set to v4.6.2, Location c:\qt\2010.02\qt\bin\qmake.exe. The auto detected version is set to even though I have added the dirs in Path. Is there something I am doing wrong here? Has anyone encountered this problem in Vista.

I have been working on this for 2 days, change configurations, reinstalled etc...

Answer 1

The QtDir value is compiled into the qmake-binary. You can only change this by recompiling qmake and passing on a different value to qt-configure (I'm not sure which setting or variable is passed on to qmake) When using precompiled, downloaded binaries, you'll have to keep the QtDir at c:\Qt\4.6.2

EDIT: What I said was incorrect. The locations of qmake, moc,... are located in the file:

<Qt>/4.x.x/.qmake.cache

Hey, it QT emulators have lot of problems in vista, i have tried several times,it didnt work for me.. it works well with windows XP. though ill tell you in brief what you need to do 1)install latest perl 2)install carbide c++ editor 3)install Qt SDK 4)install s60 or N97 emulators

make sure that except perl all the items which are mentioned above will be in same drive,and also make sure that folder names which you give while installation should not have spaces at all..

i.e suppose if you are going to place any of the above items in a folder whose name is having spaces it will not work.

if you have any doubts feel free to ask.
