Qt Creator Compile Error with mingw32-make on Windows

CodeGnome

I'm currently re-compiling Qt on my computer now with Visual Studio, jom, perl, and python. After this, I will try to compile the source for qt creator and see if it works since everything was compiled on my own machine.

Currently, Qt 5.1.0 appears to be compiling correctly (I made sure that perl, python, and jom were in the path list in the environment variables for windows). I'll update when it's done and I try to go at qt create again.

Good luck to you, then :)

It's working now :)

I'm going to compile the plugins now and see if they work also. So close!

I spoke too soon, when finish compiling the qt creator I get the following error:
@

Anyone have any ideas? I've still not gotten this to work. Could it be a missing environment variable?

What is the command you started?
Where did you start it?

Without knowing more details, I guess that you have not started nmake from vc command prompt, but outside.
[edit, that should correlate with your assumption on environment setting]

Sorry, I opened the VS2012 x86 Native Tools Command Prompt to compile qt 5.1.0 which worked. I reopened the same console and was trying to compile qt creator 2.8.0

CodeGnome

So I read http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/modules.html and am thinking that I must not have some required module link since the compiler says Unknown module(s) in the error output. Is there some way I can find out what module it is missing? How would I link the correct module to the compiler?

Sorry for such noob questions!

No problem, we are all somewhere noobs.

I would guess if you have compiled Qt with standard settings you should be alright. If you fiddled around with some special settings during configure, that could be an issue.

I have done a compilation of qt creator 2.8 (and 2.7.2) end of last week without problems. It was merely the waiting time. However, I have used Qt 5.1.0 MinGW pre-built. Therefore, I think default settings for Qt libs, you should be fine for creator. However, this could be now related to your vs2012 compiler.
Thinking a bit more, may be it is a nmake issue. You could give jom a shot. At least it should not be a time-consuming side track.
