    Try to use these commands:

    qmake -makefile
    mingw32-make
    "./release/app"

    .pro

    QT += core gui widgets
    
    CONFIG += c++11
    
    SOURCES += \
        main.cpp
    
    TARGET = app
    

    It works with Qt6. Perhaps this will work with Qt5.

    Edited 1/12/2023. Added widgets.

    It does not work with Qt5 on my computer.

      Add

      QT += widgets
      

      to your pro file as shown in documentation.

        @Robert-M said in Qt5 C++ application compilation from prompt:

        C:\Users\lenovo>g++ --version
        g++ (i686-posix-dwarf-rev0, Built by MinGW-W64 project) 8.1.0

        OK. So when your make command invokes g++ it might be getting this version

        In Qt Creator I see:
        C:\Qt\Tools\mingw730_32\bin\g++.exe
        C:\Qt\Tools\mingw730_64\bin\g++.exe
        C:\Qt\Tools\mingw900_64\bin\g++.exe

        And you appear to have two other g++ versions present on your machine

        In make file I see:
        CC = gcc
        CXX = g++
        ...
        INCPATH = -I. -I........\Qt\5.13.2\mingw73_64\include -I........\Qt\5.13.2\mingw73_64\include\QtWidgets -I........\Qt\5.13.2\mingw73_64\include\QtGui -I........\Qt\5.13.2\mingw73_64\include\QtANGLE -I........\Qt\5.13.2\mingw73_64\include\QtCore -Idebug -I. -I/include -I........\Qt\5.13.2\mingw73_64\mkspecs\win32-g++

        The qmake command that built this makefile is expecting g++ to invoke version 7.3 64Bit and link against Qt libraries built with GCC 7.3 64Bit.
        It is possible that GCC 7 and GCC 8 libraries are binary incompatible (do not know, haven't looked) and thisnis the cause of the link-time issue.

        Try:

        set PATH=C:\Qt\Tools\mingw730_64\bin;%PATH%
        mingw32-make clean
        mingw32-make

              Would you mind to provide more information or how are others supposed to help you based on that information?
