[SOLVED]Qt 5.0.2 Source Install

b1gsnak3

Hello! I have encountered a small problem when trying to install qt from sources...

I have installed everything as recomended however I get this:

NMAKE: Fatal error U1077: "C:\Program Files\dir to msvc2010\link.exe" : return code: '0x463'
Stop.
Could not find output file: No such file or directory

JKSH

Does C:\Program Files\dir to msvc2010\link.exe exist?

b1gsnak3

yes yes... it exists i was just too lazy to write the whole thing... :) also link.exe is in that folder

JKSH

Ah... silly me, you'll get a different error message if your linker isn't found :P

Which instructions did you use?

b1gsnak3

configure -release -no-opengl

Read on stackoverflow that this error might be caused by examples so I excluded them with -nomake but still get the same error :( any help would be greatly appreciated :)

[quote]I have installed everything as recomended[/quote]When I said "Which instructions did you use?", I meant: "Which recommendation did you follow?" :)

Also:

What version of Windows are you on?
Post more lines from your error message -- what file is it failing on?

If you don't want to type messages out by hand, redirect the output to a log file:
@
configure [options] > confout.log 2> conferr.log
@

I'm not sure what's causing your problem, but I know that -no-opengl disables a large portion of Qt, so maybe something important went missing (which would mean there's a bug in the sources). Anyway, try removing -no-opengl -- it still won't use OpenGL, but it will use DirectX

ah... I tried to use from several instructions (OpenCV docs, Qt Docs and a small post on how to install for windows x64)... none of which worked... I am using Windows 7 x86 Proffessional. I've read somewhere that you must not have other Qt versions installed when compiling from sources... Or I missread I didn't got around to checking this yet. Now I am using another PC to try this out. Anywhom I get two errors depending if it is the first time running configure or not. Tried to add PATH variables and such... Nothing seems to work :(

err:

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\BIN\link.EXE"' : return code '0x463'
Stop.

problem solved. On a fresh computer it is now runing nmake. I think it was because I had multiple Qt versions installed :) Thanks for the help
