After installing Qt 5.12.8 PATH not set?
-
After completing the install of Qt 5.12.8 on Windows, I expected that PATH would have been updated to add Qt related stuff but apparently not - is this something I need to do myself?
Part of the reason I ask is that I have Anaconda2 installed and that ships a version of qmake (now an out of date one):
C:\Users\amonra>where qmake.exe
C:\ANACONDA2\Library\bin\qmake.exeC:\Users\amonra>qmake --version
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.8.7 in C:/Anaconda2/Library/libOr should I always
use the customised command line short cuts that Qt sets up in the "Start" menu? -
No, Qt installer will not change your PATH.
If you want, you can set it yourself.
Actually, you can install multiple versions of Qt in the same machine.
If it sets the PATH, then there will be conflicts.
So, what we usually do is, if need to build from command line, we use that shortcut you mentioned.
And when building from Qt Creator, there is no need to set PATH after the Kit configuration is completed. -
OK that's fine. So my follow up question:
I started a command prompt using the shortcut "Qt 5.12.8 (MSVC 2017 64-bit)" and then change to
D:\qt-book\chap10\settingsviewer>
I get:
D:\qt-book\chap10\settingsviewer>qmake settingsviewer.pro
Project ERROR: Cannot run compiler 'cl'. Output:===================
Maybe you forgot to setup the environment?Am I required to tailor the command file used for this command prompt to include all the stuff from:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat"
Or what?
Thanks

David@Perdrix When you start the shortcut, I think there would be a notice:
Setting up environment for Qt usage... Remember to call vcvarsall.bat to complete environment setup!Actually, for MSVC builds, what I usually do is: start the command prompt from VS shortcut, and then add Qt's bin to PATH in it.
Or just open that project in Qt Creator. -
Not quite that simple though ...
As c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build
Isn't exactly in the path! I had to do hunting for it!

Well, I modified C:\Qt\5.12.8\msvc2017_64\bin\qtenv2.bat

@Perdrix Looking at your compiler command line you don't have widgets module added in your .pro file like I told you in the other thread.
