make command not working

[sandro4912]

I tryed to compile to make a project from command line and create a exe

i tryed the following steps:

qmake -project -> generates the pro file (here hello_world.pro)
qmake hello_world.pro -> generates makefiles etc

But then:
make -> it gives me the errror that the command is not recognized.

Do I have to add make to the Windows Path Variable? If yes were is it located?

Which platform and compiler do you use? When you're on windows it's either mingw32-make for mingw or nmake for msvc.

Hi
If on windows, you can run
"C:\Qt\5.12.3\msvc2017_64\bin\qtenv2.bat"
(or similar depending on compiler)
Also, vcvarsall.bat if VS compiler
to have all the paths setup.

When I run the bat it just flashes and closes the window immidiately. So how to use it?

@sandro4912
:)
Open command prompt first, run the bat file inside.
same with vcvarsall.bat

If you're using mingw, maybe you should use mingw32-make command instead of make
