    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.

            :)
            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
