Jom Error 2 at compile time

Saphrosit

I just downloaded Qt SDK 4.8.1 and, after installing it, I simply tried to compile a default C++ project, but I got this strange error.

@ 16:50:24: Running build steps for project test...

Does anyone know what is the cause?

I don't know if it's relevant or not, but before getting this error I got the common error about cl not found; I solved adding the path to cl in the project settings.

There are "several similar threads at the forum":http://qt-project.org/search/tag/jom.exe Have you already seen them?

Saphrosit

Yes I did, they are not so many and they're all pretty different from my problem.

Please share the content of your pro file.

Here you are:

Seems that the pro file is fine.

Did you make a clean build after that? Clean, rerun qmake and rebuild the whole project.

Saphrosit

Yes I did it, but I keep getting the same error...

I tried also to reinstall the entire SDK, but nothing changed

Please try this proposition from a "similar issue with jom described at stackoverflow.com":http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9408466/qt-compile-time-error

bq. I can reproduce this problem if I check "Clear system environment" on the Projects' Build Settings page. Try unchecking that box.

Saphrosit

My "Clear system environment" box is already unchecked. If I check it I get the error about "cl.exe not found".

Saphrosit: Oh, that should not happen! What is your PATH environment variable with clear system environment set? Where did you install the cl.exe? What did you install to get the compiler?

Saphrosit

Unfortunately I cannot give an exact answer now (the computer is at the lab), I hope I will answer tomorrow. Anyway, I'm pretty sure cl.exe is the default Microsoft Visual Studio 9 folder.

However, in my home system my "Clear system environment" is not check and everything works fine (I have Visual Studio 10 at home)...

Saphrosit

My PATH with "Clear system environment" check is:

C:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.8.1\msvc2008\lib;C:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.8.1\msvc2008\bin
