qmake is not recognized as an internal or external command

[Zua90]

Hi I'm new to using Qt and I'm having trouble building drivers

i am using pyqt5 installed through pip install pyqt5 command

I need to access a database creating in MariaDB and when I tried to compile I get a message "qmake is not recognized as an internal or external command" I don't know what else to do

@Zua90
You do not want to be building the SQL drivers if possible. You just want to download the required ones if possible What platform are you on? E.g. apt-get install libqt5sql5-mysql ?

@JonB i'm on w10

@Zua90 OK, well I don't know what instructions you are following or why you are needing/wanting to build drivers or compile stuff.

Hi,

You need a Qt build that matches the series used for PyQt 5. You can use the online installer for that.

@JonB create a project in python and access the database as the instructions I'm following are:

1-set mysql=c:\PROGRA~1\MARIAD~1.3

2-cd c:\Users\Wilson Zua\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5\Qt5\plugins\sqldrivers

3-mkdir mysql-build

4- cd mysql-build

so far so good. But when I put:

qmake -- MYSQL_INCDIR=C:\PROGRA~1\MARIAD~1.3\include\mysql "MYSQL_LIBDIR=C:\PROGRA~1\MARIAD~1.3\lib" MYSQL_LIBS="-llibmariadb"

"qmake is not recognized..."

@Zua90
Like I said, if possible you do not want to be building anything. What you need ought be downloadable.

Start by addressing @SGaist :

You need a Qt build that matches the series used for PyQt 5. You can use the online installer for that.

He knows better than I what needs to be downloaded under Windows.

@SGaist Ok
I will try and return the result.
Thanks for your support
