[solved] JOM problem in Qt Creator 2.6.2

bmahf

I have downloaded Qt Creator 2.6.2, and have VS2010 installed on my system. I have added the path to the VS2010 bin directory to my PATH environment variable. I went to Tools/Options/Kits and selected WindowsKit, and set my compiler is set as Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 10.0 (ia64) and my Qt Version was already found as Qt 4.7.4 (win32-msvc++10.0-64bit). With only these changes, I then:

Created a new application - Qt GUI Application
Took the defaults for Location, Kits, Details
Ran build when everything came up

I got the following error message that isn't very descriptive:

I am only just getting back into Qt, after having worked with other packages for a while, so I am not familiar with the JOM tool. I read that it is just a take off of nmake. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to debug this error message to see what is going on. Can someone give me a pointer here?

Thanks...

I have run into the same issue quite recently (after a re-install) and I am yet to find a solution (despite numerous hours spent searching on the net).

Although this doesn't solve your issue, a possible workaround is to simply use mingw instead.

What's the output if you turn off jom and use nmake instead?
You can do that via Tools/Options..., then "Build & Run/General/Use jom instead of nmake".

jobor

errrm, I've just read it again and see that you set your compiler to ia64?
Are you 100% sure that you're targetting Itanium?

Thanks. I made that changes and ran qmake (not sure I needed that) and then cleaned and built. I got the following:

Do I somehow have to launch vcvarsall.bat before the build? And how would I do that?

Oops, I'm wanting 64 bit, but the only other 64 bit option in my list of compilers is for amd64. I changed my kit to use the amd64 compiler and I'm up and running. Thanks for pointing that out.
