Problem in debugging qt program

koahnig

If you want to use Qt libs 4.8.4 (VS2010 Opensource) you must use the compiler tool chain shipped with msvc2010 for compilation.

"According to this":http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Visual_Studio#Version_2010 it would be the second one you have tried.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC>nmake

NMAKE : fatal error U1064: MAKEFILE nicht gefunden und kein Ziel angegeben
Stop.

This seems to be correct nmake, but the makefile is missing.

Do you use msvc2010 as IDE (integrated development environment) or Qt creator?

I got the feeling that you are working on command prompt only. Is that true?

Anyway a qmake run is missing. This would create the missing makefile.

Amirhosein

I don't have Qt creator, so I only use command prompt.

so you think that my Qt has a problem?

SGaist

No, what koahnig said is that you probably didn't run qmake, so you don't don't have a Makefile because of that.

To build your project (and I recommend a shadow build)

make a shadow build folder besides your source folder

cd into that folder

call qmake ..\mycoolprogram\mycoolprogram.pro

call nmake

of course I built my project with qmake, but I got an error that I posted before,
I think I should try the new versions of Qt which has also Qt creator but does Qt5,1 that released recently work with MSVC 2010 or I should also install the later version of VC?

SGaist

What do you have in the folder where you ran qmake ?

Amirhosein

Hello.cpp
Hello.pro
Makefile
Makefile.debug
Makefile.release
release and debug folder which are emoty.

Sorry, for criss-crossing with SGaist. Certainly, he is correct that you should be able to do all from command prompt. If you think that is the better way, that is fine.

However, I think using an IDE helps to get all required steps in the right order.

If you have a fully licensed MSVC2010 version (not the express version which is for free), you can install vsaddin or maybe you have that should take care of calling qmake and nmake in the right sequence.

An alternative is using Qt creator and your "only" choice when you have only an msvc express version.

You do not have to switch to Qt 5 for using Qt creator. You install from the download page the Qt5 SDK which includes Qt creator. This will allow you also to continue to use Qt4.8.4 libs as already installed. However, you "waste" a bit of HD space, but have already Qt5 too.
Alternatively, you can install "Qt creator":http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qtcreator/2.8/2.8.0/qt-creator-windows-opensource-2.8.0.exe separately from download page.

I have Visual Studio professional and also Qt4 visual studio Add-in. But when I write Qt program in visual studio It gives me this error:"C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(151,5): error MSB6006: "cmd.exe" wurde mit dem Code 1 beendet." which means: "cmd.exe exited with code 1"
I searched for the solution for this error but I couldn't find any useful solution, I think it has a problem with Qmake.

Do you have no problems with a simple hello world program without Qt?

Make sure that msvc is properly setup. When this is the case, I would recommend to install Qt libs and the newest vsaddin freshly.

Amirhosein

I frequently write programs with MSVC and I don't have any problem but when I want to write Qt program, I have the problem.

I wanted to try another solutions than installing other versions because I need several permissions to install a program on my pc, but I will try to install the new versions of Qt and MSVC.

anyway, thanks for your help. :-)
