qmake not running

Executer

I want to create the libs for MySql following Qt Documentation->How to Build the QMYSQL Plugin on Windows. But when I try to use qmake I get the help page only.

D:\Tools\QT\6.2.1\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers>qmake -v
QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 6.2.1 in D:/Tools/Qt/6.2.1/mingw81_64/lib

D:\Tools\QT\6.2.1\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers>qmake -- MYSQL_INCDIR="C:/Program Files/MariaDB 10.6/include/mysql" MYSQL_LIBDIR="C:/Program Files/MariaDB 10.6/lib"
Usage: qmake [mode] [options] [files]

QMake has two modes, one mode for generating project files based on
some heuristics, and the other for generating makefiles. Normally you
shouldn't need to specify a mode, as makefile generation is the default
mode for qmake, but you may use this to test qmake on an existing project

Mode:
  -project       Put qmake into project file generation mode
                 In this mode qmake interprets [files] as files to
...

Can anybody give me a hint what I'm doing wrong?

Is there a *.pro file in this folder? Also, Qt6 switched to CMake, probably you have to use CMake. Is there a CMakeLists.txt file in that folder?
Also, you should use absolute path to qmake in case you have more than one Qt version installed to make sure you call qmake from Qt version you want to use.

There is no *.pro but CMakeLists.txt in this folder. The Makefile indicates, that qmake has been used sucessfully.
Also using an absolute path for qmake makes no difference.

That's clear, I only suggested that to make sure you use Qt version you want to use.
Since you're building for Qt6 you should follow this documentation: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/sql-driver.html#qmysql

Looks like I used the wrong documentation. Thanks for pointing me to the new one.
