Problem with running QMake (installing QFTP module )

Zunneh

Hello guys,
i have to install the QFtp module in my QT5 version so i followed these steps :

1.Download the sources for the add-on from https://github.com/qt/qtftp

2.Extract the sources somewhere (e.g. Qt5.x.y/Src/qtmyaddon)

3.Open a console in that folder

4.Read readme.txt and run the appropriate commands with the latest QT version

5.Run qmake

6.Run make (or nmake or mingw32-make or whatever)

7.Run sudo make install (nmake install, mingw32-make install, ...)

8.In the .pro file of your project, add "QT += myaddon" (e.g. "QT += ftp")

9.Run qmake on your project

10.Compile your project

i'm blocked in the step 5 , how to run qmake from command line ?
Thanks

Like any other command. Use the whole path to qmake, like

c:\Qt\1.12.0\mingw73_64\bin\qmake.exe

@jsulm it works thanks, and now for step 6 ( run make or nmake or mingw32-make or whatever) and step 7 (Run sudo make install (nmake install, mingw32-make install, ...) ?

What compiler are you using?

I can't stress enough, however, how using a library that was discontinued 7 years ago for networking is not a good idea.
You should just use a proper up to date library even if it means not having perfect Qt integration. For example libcurl

@VRonin i'm using Qt5.3.0 Mingw482_32
the problem with QNetworkAcessManager is that we can't list a FTP server to get the folders name

then call mingw32-make

Don't solve the problem by introducing an out of date library to your project. You can use CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY from libcurl. See https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY.html
