    Hello,

    I am using Qt 4.8.5 for compiling an old application. However, I am getting an error while using the make command saying that the "recipe for the target debug failed".

    mingw32-make[1]: Entering directory 'H:/arch_networks/arch-ne-master/archNE/archNE-build'
    g++ -c -pipe -g -frtti -fexceptions -mthreads -Wall -Wextra -DUNICODE -DQT_DLL -DQT_XMLPATTERNS_LIB -DQT_XML_LIB -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_HAVE_MMX -DQT_HAVE_3DNOW -DQT_HAVE_SSE -DQT_HAVE_MMXEXT -DQT_HAVE_SSE2 -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -DQT_NEEDS_QMAIN -I"........\Qt_setup\include\QtCore" -I"........\Qt_setup\include\QtGui" -I"........\Qt_setup\include\QtXml" -I"........\Qt_setup\include\QtXmlPatterns" -I"........\Qt_setup\include" -I"....\archNE" -I"........\Qt_setup\include\ActiveQt" -I"debug" -I"." -I"." -I"........\Qt_setup\mkspecs\win32-g++" -o debug\appcontroller.o ..\appcontroller.cpp
    Makefile.Debug:393: recipe for target 'debug/appcontroller.o' failed
    mingw32-make[1]: *** [debug/appcontroller.o] Error 1
    mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory 'H:/arch_networks/arch-ne-master/archNE/archNE-build'
    Makefile:34: recipe for target 'debug' failed
    mingw32-make: *** [debug] Error 2

    I am getting the above error after clicking OK on the error as shown below.

    Since I am a total beginner to Qt, I am unable to figure out how to resolve the error.
    Can you help?

    Thanks...

      You compiler is apparently missing floating point emulation layer: https://code.woboq.org/userspace/glibc/soft-fp/addtf3.c.html
