      This follows the 8.3 format, a relict from DOS-times. I think you should use the same name but you can test it in the command window with cd.

          Hi k_arnaud, you only need the 8.3 format if you have problems with building the plugins - as Windows may refuse to work with spaces in the pathnames.
          Did you succeed in building your plugin now?

                Hi Clochydd,
                always the same error message "recipe....failed",
                maybe i forgot something... but there's no configuration when you instal Qt

                  Hi k_arnaud, I will try to find more possible reasons for the message and come back with some new support.

                    Currently, avoid spaces in path to libraries when developing. Or use the 8.3 names (you can check which one is correct using sir /x in a cmd prompt). To be on the safe side, reinstall PostgreSQL in a path without spaces. That will eliminate one possible source of problems. If the build fails again, then post the error log, it might give the clue to what you are missing.

                    Also, ensure that you have a 32bit version of PostgreSQL installed since you are using the 32bit MinGW package.

                      Hi SGaist,
                      i have a PostgreSQL 32bit installed. I try to instal an ohter, but the installer wizard doesn't allow me to choose my own directory, it updates the older which is in C:\Program Files (x86)\PostgreSQL... about to the error log, i don't know to post it. i think this site doesn't allow uploaded picture from computer ("i've printed my screen which shows the cmd with the error log")

                        You should uninstall your old version first and you can post a picture, too, if you use DropBox or similar. It's described "here: ":http://qt-project.org/wiki/ForumHelp#b642e0c67b7a32cc0b833ea119693dce

                          ok, thanks ! i built the plugin(the problem was from the old version of my PostgreSQL, i couldn't edit the .h file you talked about).now the new issue is that i get this error message "The specified path was not found" when i enter copy release\libqsqlpsql.a QTSDK_SQLDRIVERS_PATH... just a precision: those files are in C:\Qt\Qt5.2.1\5.2.1\Src\qtbase\plugins\sqldrivers and i think they have just been created.the modification date is today on 3 pm

                            The plugins are built in directories release and debug. I suggest to search for these directories and if you find the newly created DLLs there copy these to QTSDK_SQLDRIVERS_PATH. If there are issues again please post your environment (set > env.txt) and your error messages

                              Hi Clochydd,
                              I didn't see the plugins in the directories named "release" and "debug", but i found them here(based on the creation date which was 03:04pm(it was 03:04pm when i built the plugins)): C\Qt\Qt5.2.1\Src\qtbase\plugins\sqldrivers and i copied them manually(Ctrl+C...) to QTSDK_SQLDRIVERS_PATH.... about the env.txt file, i can't find it. Thanks !

                                Hi k_arnaud,

                                sorry, it should read: set > env.txt - this creates the file env.txt which contains the entries like PATH etc.
                                You may do it by set and copy and paste, too.

                                  i think the right files are the files i talk about, you know, the file i've found here: C\Qt\Qt5.2.1\Src\qtbase\plugins\sqldrivers

                                    I understand you moved these to QTSDK_SQLDRIVERS_PATH already.
                                    If it still does not work, you may try this:

                                    Create a directory sqldrivers** in your app-directory (where your application's exe-file will be built: eg.: myBUILD\Debug\sqldrivers).
                                    and copy the dlls to this directory.
                                    If this does not work, a look at your environment may be useful.

                                        Hi k_arnaud, I've read through your env.txt and found this:

                                        1. your PostgreSQL is still in the directory with spaces: C:\Program Files(x86). You may work with it but you need to use 8.3 filenames then during the build process. You find the exact 8.3 names (eg. PROGR~2) with DIR /x.

                                        2. You must keep in mind, that environment variables declared by SET exist only as long as your current command window. You can always check their existence by using SET. Currently, your variables like QTSDK_SQLDRIVERS_PATH do not exist!
